SINGAPORE, Aug. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Asian Agri, a member of the RGE group of companies, recently awarded Desa Semambu Village in Jambi, Indonesia for their exemplary fire-free efforts during the World Environment Day celebration.

This recognition highlights the village’s commitment to preventing fires in their area throughout 2023 as part of the Asian Agri’s Fire-Free Village Programme (FFVP). By acknowledging and supporting these initiatives, Asian Agri, through its business unit PT Rigunas Agri Utama (PT RAU), aims to encourage more communities to adopt fire-free practices and contribute to a healthier and more sustainable environment.

The award presentation coincided with the World Environment Day event organised by the Jambi Provincial Environment Department in Perintis Village, Rimbo Bujang District in Tebo, on 11 July 2024.

As part of the award ceremony, PT RAU signed a joint agreement for the 2024-2025 FFVP with five villages located around the company’s concession areas: Semambu Village, Suosuo Village, Teriti Village, Tuo Sumay Village and Muara Sekalo Village. The signing was witnessed by the Acting Regent of Tebo, Varial Adhi Putra.

“Signing this joint agreement represents a mutual agreement between Asian Agri and the stakeholders including village officials, local government and other relevant agencies to maintain these areas free from fires,” said the Manager of Sustainability Operations and CSR at Asian Agri, Putu Grhyate Yonata Aksa.

The Governor of Jambi, Al Haris, also expressed his appreciation to Asian Agri and its business units. “We extend our gratitude to Asian Agri and other companies for their efforts in supporting villages to be fire-free. We hope that Semambu Village will continue to protect its area from forest and land fires and inspire other villages to prevent disasters. With good collaboration between the Jambi provincial government and the companies, we can safeguard our region from the danger of fires,” he said.

The FFVP award was presented by the Social Security and License (SSL) Manager of Asian Agri Jambi Region, Liharman Purba, to the Head of Semambu Village, Heriantoni, and witnessed by the Governor of Jambi, Al Haris, and Acting Regent of Tebo, Varial Adhi Putra.

Heriantoni expressed his gratitude to Asian Agri for the award and said, “We will use this award to improve the village’s facilities and infrastructure to continue preventing forest and land fires. We hope to maintain the status of a fire-free village next year.”

Acting Regent of Tebo, Varial Adhi Putra, added, “The FFVP is a response to the recurring forest and land fires. Villages that successfully keep their areas fire-free are given awards and incentives. As the district government, we hope the villages will work together to protect their areas from forest fires and also to preserve the environment.”

SSL Manager of Asian Agri Jambi Region, Liharman Purba further explained that the FFVP is one of Asian Agri’s community initiatives to respond to the impact of forest and land fires. “We congratulate Semambu Village for their success in safeguarding their area from forest and land fires for two consecutive years. We hope that the village can continue its efforts to protect itself from fire hazards this year and in the years to come,” he said.

The FFVP programme was introduced in 2016 as part of Asian Agri’s commitment to implementing a “zero burning” policy that has been in place since 1994. The FFVP programme aims to collaborate with the local communities to raise awareness and vigilance against fire hazards as well as to provide alternative, more cost-effective methods for land clearing without using fire.

Under the FFVP programme, Asian Agri facilitates and supports surrounding villages to understand the negative impacts of forest and land fires, encouraging them to actively participate in preventing fires within their communities. The programme also aims to cultivate village residents’ awareness of fire hazards and empower them to be at the forefront of fire prevention efforts in their villages.
