Following the article in The Jakarta Post titled Hospital,
firms accused of polluting rivers publish on July 26, we learned
that PT Coca-Cola was mentioned as one of the 12 companies
allegedly responsible for the Kalimalang River pollution in
Bekasi.
We went to meet with the head of the environmental impact
management agency of the Bekasi regency, H. Tirta Abdul Fatah, to
get clarification about this issue and it was confirmed that our
company was not part of the list of 12 companies invited by the
agency on July 12 to provide further explanation on the river
pollution.
PT Coca-Cola has a sophisticated and ISO 14001-certified
waste-water treatment and recycling facility on our plant site
and we have been recognized as a model company in environmental
management in the Bekasi regency.
