50+ companies being investigated or punished for Indonesia’s haze crisis

The Indonesian government only released the initials of the companies, but The Straits Times noted three Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) suppliers — Mega Alam Sentosa, Bumi Mekar Hijau (BMH) and Sebangun Bumi Andalas Wood Industry (SWI) — as being on the list. BMH and SWI operate in South Sumatra, where the worst of the burning occurred. APP said it suspended contracts with the two South Sumatra companies last month.

The Indonesian government earlier revoked the licenses of PT Tempirai Palm Resources, PT Waringin Agro Jaya and PT Langgam Inti Hibrindo for fires.
