“I tell them [the employees of FGV] these are good values. We have been pummelled so badly, so we need to get our mojo back,” says Haris. “Why are we in this position? Because of the integrity issues before. If people were taking integrity seriously in terms of investments, for example, there would have been better due diligence done.”
(Apr 29): In his modest office in downtown Kuala Lumpur, Haris Fadzilah Hassan, the recently appointed CEO of FGV Holdings (formerly known as Felda Global Ventures Holdings), removes his lanyard, showing it to The Edge Malaysia in an exclusive interview.
On it are five words — partnership, respect, integrity, dynamism and enthusiasm. When worn, integrity falls on the nape of one’s neck and the first letter of each word spells “pride”. But none of these values is currently associated with FGV.
