The 'SNI Goes to Campus' programme, set to tour other universities in 2026, aims to instil a culture of quality and food safety awareness in future industry professionals. Garudafood highlighted its voluntary adoption of SNI for biscuits since 2014 as a long-term investment in quality and consumer trust.",
        "content": "<p>PT Garudafood Putra Putri Jaya Tbk (Garudafood) is committed to\nsupporting the strengthening of national standardisation and sustainable\nfood governance in Indonesia. This step was realised through the\ncompany\u2019s active participation in the national programme \u2018SNI Goes to\nCampus\u2019 organised by the National Standardisation Agency (BSN) at the\nBogor Agricultural Institute (IPB University). The \u2018SNI Goes to Campus\u2019\nprogramme at IPB University represents a strategic synergy between BSN,\nthe Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology\n(Kemendiktisaintek), and Garudafood as a national industry player. This\ncross-sector collaboration is scheduled to continue rolling out and\nvisiting various other universities throughout Indonesia during 2026,\naiming to produce a young generation that is quality-conscious and ready\nto be highly competitive. At the academic forum attended by hundreds of\nstudents from IPB University\u2019s Food Technology Department on Thursday,\nGarudafood presented its Head of Q-SHE &amp; MFG Innovation, Bangun\nRaharjo, as the main speaker. The management representative\u2019s presence\naimed to share empirical experience and best practices in implementing\nthe Indonesian National Standard (SNI) within the large-scale food and\nbeverage industry production chain. In his presentation, Bangun Raharjo\nasserted that SNI is not merely a regulatory obligation, but has become\nan ingrained part of the company\u2019s work culture. \u2018Standards are not just\nabout meeting requirements and regulations, but about building\ndiscipline, consistency, and trust so that it becomes a work culture\npracticed every day. Therefore, we believe that students who understand\nthe importance of standardisation from an early stage will be better\nprepared to enter the industry, subsequently developing by contributing\nto products that are safe, quality, and competitive,\u2019 Bangun Raharjo\nexplained. As a manifestation of its commitment to a quality culture,\nGarudafood has voluntarily applied SNI to its biscuit product category\nsince 2014, even though regulations had not yet mandated it. This step\nreflects the company\u2019s belief that standardisation is a long-term\ninvestment to maintain quality consistency, increase consumer trust, and\nstrengthen the competitiveness of national products in the market.\nFurthermore, this forum became an important momentum for Garudafood to\npromote education on food safety and product standardisation to the\nacademic community. It was emphasised that the higher education sector\nhas a crucial role as an agent of change in disseminating awareness of\nfood products that are safe, of high quality, and have a clear\ntraceability system, so that the origin of raw materials and their\ndistribution process can be known. In her remarks, Prof.\u00a0Dr.\u00a0Ir. Yulin\nLestari, Director of Education Transformation and Learning Technology at\nIPB University, stressed the importance of integrating standardisation\naspects into the higher education curriculum framework as a strategic\neffort to enhance graduate readiness for entering the workforce. Nindya\nMalvins Trimadya, Head of the Standardisation and Conformity Assessment\nDissemination Working Team at BSN, expressed her appreciation for\nindustry participation in the \u2018SNI Goes to Campus\u2019 programme. According\nto her, the involvement of the business sector plays a vital role in\nbridging the understanding of standardisation with real-world workplace\npractices. \u2018The involvement of companies like Garudafood proves that the\napplication of standards is not just a laboratory matter, but touches\nall aspects of business operations. This is a message that students need\nto receive as early as possible,\u2019 she stated. As is known, Indonesia\ncurrently has more than 13,000 active SNIs, yet the level of their\nimplementation among small and medium industries still needs to be\ncontinuously encouraged, making campus-based education a strategic and\ntargeted approach. This step aligns with Garudafood\u2019s long-term\ncommitment to implementing sustainable corporate governance. Through\ntargeted public education, Garudafood is committed to creating a\nresponsible and transparent industrial ecosystem, while supporting the\nsustainable achievement of national food security.<\/p>",
