Social Responsibility Programs in Indonesia

Sumber : http://www.banpu.co.th/eng/social/program6.php

Since the start of its operation in Indonesia for more than a decade, Banpu has given a priority to social and environmental responsibilities in this country. With the same principle and practice as its parent company in Bangkok, Thailand, Banpu’s Indonesian coal mines namely, Bontang, Kitadin, Jorong and Trubaindo, have committed to community development so as to upgrade the quality of life of those living surrounding the mining areas where we operate since we want the society to grow hands in hands with us following our believe that
“An industry will grow in tandem with social and environmental development.

In Indonesia, the community development programs at all mine sites are focusing on social development; economic development; environmental protection; and community relations in which local people are allowed
to participate in the entire process ranging from the planning to the implementation process. The Community Consultative Committee (CCC) comprising of representatives of local people in the area, officials from local authorities and Banpu’s community development staffs has been established at each mine site responsible for resolving their community’s problems with an aim to provide assistance that responds to community real needs as much as possible.

In a bid to strengthen the efficiency of community development programs and community development agencies, the Community Development Policy for Indonesian coal operations has been launched since early 2007. The policy was set by integrating with Banpu Spirit to ensure that the concept of community development goes harmoniously with our Banpu Spirit - Innovation, Integrity, Care and Synergy.
