Montara Continental Response

"Response to allegations"

Montara Continental’s approach to the continued development of our business units directly and indirectly generate a wide range of benefits to the host community and host country as a whole. In addition to the community participation benefits, development of the project areas provides a number of core benefits such as employment generation, training, infrastructure improvement, support for localised industries and food security. Montara is also committed, to employment generation and developing and utilising the human resources of the host community.

 We manage the environmental and social impact of our operations and supply chain through the process of internationally recognised certification. On the farm in Tanzania we have recently been awarded GLOBALG.A.P certification; a standard for food safety and environmental protection. We are in the process of working towards achieving BRC Global Standards certification for the processing unit on the farm.
