SINGAPORE: Palm oil cultivation company TSH Resources said on Thursday (Oct 22) that 274 hotspots detected within its estate between January and Oct 21 were in “community enclave areas” outside its operational areas.

The company was responding to queries from the Singapore Exchange (SGX) about whether its operations had contributed to the recent haze in Southeast Asia.

In a bourse filing, TSH Resources said no fire was detected within its planted or operational areas between January and Oct 21.

There was also no report or claim of fires started by its employees, it added.

The company said its field teams responded to and extinguished the fires, and lodged police reports for the incidents. It also disclosed that a fire broke out on Aug 17 within the Hak Guna Usaha area of its subsidiary, PT Bulungan Citra Agro Persada (BCAP). “The fire originated from a community enclave area outside BCAP's operational area. BCAP extinguished the fire on the same day, lodged a police report and continues to cooperate with the relevant authorities,” TSH Resources said. The company, which operates oil palm plantations and mills in Malaysia and Indonesia, maintained that its operations and activities within its Indonesian concessions had not contributed to the recent haze. Senior Minister K Shanmugam had warned this week that Singapore would use every legal, regulatory and economic lever at its disposal against companies responsible for the haze.

Senior Minister K Shanmugam had warned this week that Singapore would use every legal, regulatory and economic lever at its disposal against companies responsible for the haze.

The country has been facing stretches of unhealthy air quality due to the haze since Sep 4. At least one region in Singapore had unhealthy air quality from Oct 5 until Thursday afternoon.

Mr Shanmugam said that the SGX had asked questions of seven agri-companies listed in Singapore.

Besides TSH Resources, the other companies are Golden Agri-Resources, Bumitama Agri, First Resources, Wilmar International, Kencana Agri and Indofood Agri.

Kencana Agri said in response last week that Indonesian authorities have launched a preliminary inquiry into a fire incident at its subsidiary.

First Resources said on Tuesday that it welcomes on-the-ground inspections by the authorities as well as documentary and technical reviews, adding that it fully supports a "thorough, evidence-based examination of facts" into the ongoing haze situation.

COMPANY SAYS OPERATIONS DID NOT CONTRIBUTE TO HAZE

According to its SGX profile page, TSH Resources has oil palm plantations and palm oil mill in Sabah, Malaysia, as well as Kalimantan and Sumatera in Indonesia.

Among SGX’s questions were whether the company's operations had contributed to the haze and whether it had received any allegations or enquiries about the recent fires in Indonesia or the haze.

TSH Resources said it had not been named or issued any notices by environmental agencies in connection with the recent transboundary haze.

It also shared that it received an enquiry from its customer, Apical Group, on Sep 1 about hotspots in PT Farinda Bersaudara, one of its subsidiaries.

PT Farinda Bersaudara was acquired by TSH Resources in 2008, according to the latter’s website.

The company said it had clarified that the hotspots occurred within community enclaves outside its operational area.

“Apical was satisfied with our clarification,” it added.

TSH Resources did not receive any other official enquiries and there were no media highlights about the company as of Oct 15, it said.

TSH Resources said it enforces a zero-burning policy across its operations, including land preparation, new planting and replanting.

The policy also extends to its contractors and suppliers, it added.

The company said it has fire prevention and emergency response measures in place, including regular ground patrols, trained firefighting teams and satellite monitoring.

“TSH's in-house LiTUP system integrates multiple satellite data sources to monitor hotspots within concession boundaries and a 2km-buffer zone, providing updates approximately every three hours to support early detection and timely response,” it added.

The company said it also maintains its firefighting infrastructure, equipment and trained squads in accordance with legal standards in Indonesia.

Its Indonesian estates are certified under the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil scheme, which is subject to regular third-party audits.

The company said it had put in place the necessary measures to prevent, monitor and respond to fires, and did not consider further disclosure necessary as there had been no incident with a material impact on the group.

新加坡：棕榈油种植公司 TSH Resources 周四（10 月 22 日）表示，1 月至 10 月 21 日期间在其种植园内检测到的 274 个热点地区位于其运营区域以外的“社区飞地”。

该公司正在回应新加坡交易所（SGX）的问询，该问询称其运营是否对近期东南亚的雾霾造成了影响。

TSH Resources 在提交给证券交易所的文件中表示，1 月至 10 月 21 日期间，其种植区或运营区内未发现任何火灾。

该公司还补充说，没有报告或声称有其员工纵火。

TSH Resources公司表示：“在此期间，在该集团的产业范围内发现了274个热点地区，这些地区全部位于社区飞地内，在该集团的运营区域之外。”

该公司表示，其现场团队已对火灾做出响应并将其扑灭，并就这些事件向警方报案。

该公司还透露，8 月 17 日，其子公司 PT Bulungan Citra Agro Persada (BCAP) 的 Hak Guna Usaha 区域内发生火灾。

TSH Resources公司表示：“火灾起于BCAP运营区域外的一个社区飞地。BCAP当天就扑灭了火灾，并已向警方报案，目前正继续配合相关部门的工作。”

该公司在马来西亚和印度尼西亚经营油棕种植园和加工厂，并坚称其在印度尼西亚特许经营区内的运营和活动并未造成近期的雾霾。

新加坡高级部长尚穆根本周曾警告说，新加坡将动用一切法律、监管和经济手段来对付造成雾霾的公司。

自9月4日起，受雾霾影响，该国一直面临空气质量不佳的情况。新加坡至少有一个地区从10月5日到周四下午空气质量一直不佳。

尚穆根先生表示，新加坡交易所已向七家在新加坡上市的农业公司提出了问题。

除了 TSH Resources 之外，其他公司还有 Golden Agri-Resources、Bumitama Agri、First Resources、Wilmar International、Kencana Agri 和 Indofood Agri。

Kencana Agri 上周回应称，印尼当局已对其子公司发生的火灾事故展开初步调查。

第一资源公司周二表示，欢迎当局进行实地检查以及文件和技术审查，并补充说，该公司完全支持对当前雾霾情况进行“彻底的、基于证据的事实调查”。

公司称其运营活动并未造成雾霾

根据其在新加坡交易所的资料页面显示，TSH Resources 在马来西亚沙巴州以及印度尼西亚的加里曼丹岛和苏门答腊岛拥有油棕种植园和棕榈油厂。

新加坡交易所提出的问题包括：该公司的运营是否造成了雾霾，以及是否收到任何关于印尼近期火灾或雾霾的指控或询问。

TSH Resources公司表示，该公司并未因近期发生的跨境雾霾事件而被环保机构点名或发出任何通知。

该公司还透露，9 月 1 日，其客户 Apical Group 就其子公司之一 PT Farinda Bersaudara 的热点问题向其发出询问。

据 TSH Resources 官网显示，PT Farinda Bersaudara 于 2008 年被 TSH Resources 收购。

该公司表示，已澄清这些热点地区位于其运营区域以外的社区飞地内。

“Apical 对我们的澄清表示满意，”声明补充道。

TSH Resources表示，截至10月15日，该公司没有收到任何其他官方问询，也没有媒体对该公司进行报道。

TSH Resources 表示，公司在其所有运营活动中都实行零燃烧政策，包括土地准备、新种植和重新种植。

该政策也适用于其承包商和供应商。

该公司表示，已采取防火和应急响应措施，包括定期地面巡逻、训练有素的消防队和卫星监控。

“TSH 自主研发的 LiTUP 系统整合了多个卫星数据源，用于监测特许经营边界内及 2 公里缓冲区内的热点区域，大约每三小时更新一次，以支持早期发现和及时响应，”该公司补充道。

该公司表示，其消防基础设施、设备和训练有素的队伍也均按照印度尼西亚的法律标准进行维护。

其在印度尼西亚的种植园已获得印度尼西亚可持续棕榈油计划的认证，该计划需定期接受第三方审核。

该公司表示，已采取必要措施预防、监测和应对火灾，并且由于没有发生对集团造成重大影响的事故，因此认为没有必要进一步披露信息。
