Samling Endeavours Greater Transparency

Lawrence Chia, CEO, Samling Group

Samling Endeavours Greater Transparency

Samling Group is a Malaysian conglomerate with diverse business interests from automobiles, to palm oil and most prominently, timber. It was once listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2007 and then taken private in 2012. As one of the largest end-to-end timber companies in Malaysia, Samling is often embroiled in allegations of illegal logging and deforestation. We ask CEO, Lawrence Chia, the contentious issues the group is involved in, and can the company do better for the environment.
