PT Sinar Mas dissapointed

PT Sinar Mas Agro Resources and Technology Tbk (SMART) was disappointed with Burger King's decision to no longer buy palm oil production.

"We are disappointed with the decision and will continue to provide a better understanding of the Burger King on our sustainability commitment," said Smart detikFinance quoted in a statement on Friday (03/09/2010).

Smart expects Burger King remains a palm oil consumer. Smart is also confident that Burger King's decision does not represent the views of most consumers.

"We look forward to welcoming them back as a consumer in the near future," said Smart.

Smart states, independent verification report (IVEX) have concluded SMART is a responsible company and operates in rigorous Standard Operating Procedures.

As is known, the U.S. fast food giant, Burger King decided to no longer buy palm oil from the Sinar Mas and son business. The decision was taken after Greenpeace is running a negative campaign against the Sinar Mas.

Burger King said in a statement asserted, the result of verification by independent auditors of the business unit of Sinar Mas, PT Smart Tbk shows activity that is inconsistent with the commitment to corporate responsibility.

Burger King's decision was also taken after the release of the results of the verification team that is prepared by an independent verification agency Control Union Certification (CUC) and the BSI Group of PT Sinar Mas Agro Research and Technology Tbk (Smart) and the parent company of Golden Agri Resources Smart.
