A company\u2019s role in development is no longer measured solely by its\neconomic contribution, but also by the social and environmental impact\nit creates for the community. Various companies are therefore developing\nsocial responsibility programmes that are not merely oriented towards\ntemporary aid, but also encourage self-reliance and sustainability for\nbeneficiaries.<\/p>\n
This approach has become increasingly relevant amid the need to\nstrengthen the community\u2019s economy, enhance the quality of human\nresources, and support sustainable environmental conservation. Through\nits Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) programme, PT Pupuk\nKalimantan Timur (Pupuk Kaltim) runs various initiatives focused on\ncommunity empowerment, strengthening the local economy, education,\nhealth, and environmental conservation.<\/p>\n
For the implementation of this programme, the company won three\nawards at the TOP CSR Awards 2026: the TOP CSR Awards 2026 Star 5\npredicate, a Platinum Medal, and the TOP Leader on CSR Commitment 2026\naward given to Pupuk Kaltim President Director Gusrizal. The Star 5\npredicate is the highest category in the TOP CSR Awards assessment,\ngiven to companies with CSR systems, policies, and implementations\ndeemed highly excellent. The Platinum Medal is awarded to companies\ncapable of consistently maintaining this predicate over several years of\nthe awards.<\/p>\n
Pupuk Kaltim Corporate Secretary Anggono Wijaya stated that the\nawards reflect the company\u2019s commitment to implementing TJSL programmes\nin a measurable and sustainable manner. \u201cFor Pupuk Kaltim, TJSL is not\nmerely a corporate obligation. It is an integral part of our\nsustainability strategy to create added value for the community, the\nenvironment, and the company collectively,\u201d Anggono said.<\/p>\n
According to him, various programmes run by the company are designed\nto support food security, community economic empowerment, strengthening\nof MSMEs, education, health, environmental management, and increasing\nhuman resource capacity. All programmes are aligned with Environmental,\nSocial, and Governance (ESG) principles, ISO 26000 Social\nResponsibility, and the Creating Shared Value (CSV) approach.<\/p>\n
\u201cProgramme initiatives are designed with a long-term approach and\nbased on community needs. The goal is not only to solve existing social\nissues but also to create self-reliance and sustainability for\nbeneficiaries,\u201d Anggono continued.<\/p>\n
One of the company\u2019s flagship programmes is the Koperasi Bina Sukses\nBontang, which focuses on strengthening the capacity of local MSMEs. The\nprogramme assists business actors in expanding promotional access,\nbuilding partnership networks, and improving product marketing. By 2025,\nthe production capacity of assisted MSMEs reached 468 CBM per container\nand successfully penetrated export markets in 12 countries.<\/p>\n
In the field of women\u2019s empowerment, the company developed the PKT\nSerasi Programme, which encourages the creation of processed products\nwith economic added value while strengthening women\u2019s roles in improving\nfamily welfare. Pupuk Kaltim also runs the Cendawan Juara Programme,\nwhich empowers housewives, the elderly, and retirees through mushroom\ncultivation as a productive and sustainable business source.<\/p>\n
In the health sector, the company consistently implements the\nPEGALDAS Programme, which focuses on stunting prevention and handling\nthrough collaboration with the Bontang City Health Office. Meanwhile, in\neducation, Pupuk Kaltim provides the Pupuk Kaltim Care for Education\nScholarship (PKTPP) for high-achieving students from underprivileged\nfamilies to expand access to education and improve human resource\nquality.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn education, we implement this through the Pupuk Kaltim Care for\nEducation Scholarship for high-achieving children from underprivileged\nfamilies in Bontang. Through this scholarship, we strive to broaden\naccess to education to create a younger generation that is more\ncompetitive and able to compete,\u201d Anggono explained.<\/p>\n
In addition, the company also developed the Employee Volunteering\nInitiation (Evolution), a programme that encourages direct employee\ninvolvement in various social and community empowerment activities.<\/p>\n
The commitment to sustainability is also reflected in the\nstrengthening of corporate governance. Pupuk Kaltim recorded a Good\nCorporate Governance (GCG) score of 89.37 and obtained the title of The\nMost Trusted Company at the Corporate Governance Perception Index (CGPI)\n2025. In the environmental field, the company also successfully\nmaintained the PROPER Emas award from the Ministry of Environment for\nnine consecutive years from 2017 to 2025.<\/p>\n
According to Anggono, these various achievements serve as motivation\nfor the company to continue expanding collaboration and developing\nempowerment programmes that deliver greater impact for the community.\n\u201cWe will continue to strengthen this commitment, to keep growing and\nproviding long-term benefits for development, society, and the\nenvironment,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/sustainable-empowerment-programmes-create-long-term-social-impact-1780635067", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
