A SOLAR panel company in eastern China apologized yesterday for the trouble it had caused and promised to clean up the pollution it had been responsible for.
There were violent protests on Thursday when up to 500 people stormed a compound owned by New York-listed Jinko Solar Holding Co in Haining in Zhejiang Province. They overturned vehicles before being dispersed.
Toxic waste from the factory had killed large numbers of fish in a nearby river.
"Zhejiang Jinko has always paid a great deal of attention to environmental issues and complies with and follows the state's relevant demands," spokesman Jing Zhaohui said. "In the course of doing so, this incident still happened, and we cannot shirk responsibility for the legal consequences which have come from management slips," he added.
The company "sincerely apologizes" and would take "appropriate" steps to clear up the pollution.
