Coca-Cola plants win ISO 14001

JAKARTA: Coca Cola Bottling Indonesia (CCBI) has earned the International Standardization Organization (ISO) 14001 certificate for its environmental protection programs at its plants across the country.

The firm got the certificate from PT Sucofindo for its ability to control pollution at the plants.

The ISO 14001 is a type of certificate commonly awarded to companies who manage to undertake various aspects of environmental protection, including waste treatment, pollution prevention and community development.

CCBI's national corporate affairs manager Bambang Chriswanto said the certification was a result of the firm's long efforts to produce quality products through environmentally friendly processes.

Arief Safari, an operation director of PT Sucofindo, praised the firm as one of few firms in the country who still care about environmental protection amid financial constraints caused by the economic crisis. -- JP
