Guthrie denies being behind Indonesian forest fires
The palm oil company said a recent on-the-ground inspection did not detect any active fires at its plantations in the neighbouring country.
Guthrie denies reports that its subsidiary or employees sparked forest fires in Indonesia, saying the allegations are not supported by strong evidence. The company states that recent on-site inspections found no active fires at its plantations in the country and that several linked companies are not owned by Guthrie. Guthrie has taken various preventive measures, including real-time water level monitoring and a fire prevention program with the community, and has had a strict no-burning policy since 1985.
The company's Indonesian subsidiary, Minamas Plantation, has 67 firefighting teams with 1,005 trained members.
