Environment and Community

Sumber : http://www.indocement.co.id/v3/environment.asp Indocement responded to several disasters by undertaking relief missions to aid victims of the Yogyakarta and Central Java earthquake, tsunami in Pangandaran, West Java and wild fires which razed three villages in South Kalimantan among other stricken areas in 2006. Education and healthcare services for the young remain a key focus of Indocement’s CSR initiatives as it made substantial contributions to build schools, an ambulance and a mobile clinic in 2006 as a realization of its 30th anniversary commemorative program. Indocement continues to pursue its business interests in a way that promotes sustainable development, wholesome communities and a friendly environment. In order to realize this vision, Indocement undertakes a wide range of Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) activities which, among other things, promote education, empower local economies, support local infrastructures, donate to social causes, help stricken communities and maintain ecological balance through environmental protection and conservation. A CSR activity that was completed in 2006 as part of Indocement’s 30th anniversary celebration in 2005 was the ‘Joint Projects for the Community’ that Indocement undertook with its suppliers and business partners, that saw the construction, renovation and refurbishment of several public schools in the villages of Citeureup, Cirebon and Tarjun, enabling the students to enjoy their brand new and well-equipped schools. In maintaining ecological balance, Indocement adheres to responsible manufacturing practices at all times, constantly monitoring dust particles emission, noise emission, as well as greenhouse gas emission within the Clean Development Mechanism under the Kyoto Protocol framework. Indocement continues to innovate with the use of renewable energy sources to reduce our dependence on non-renewable, fossil fuels. We are currently in the process of exploring the possibility of harnessing renewable sources of energy with our surrounding communities. In contributing to social progress, Indocement is committed to improve the welfare of communities by supporting education, healthcare and various social and economic needs. Through its community development programs in 2006, in addition to the school projects in Cirebon and Citeureup, Indocement donated an ambulance and a mobile clinic to public health service providers in Tarjun. Indocement CSR initiatives also extend beyond its immediate communities, providing relief aids to those who suffered from natural disasters from earthquakes to floods and tsunamis, which of late have been striking many parts of Indonesia in increasing frequencies.

Social Responsibility Programs in Indonesia

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.
