Bio Farma Secures Two National Awards for Public Communication and Sustainability Performance

PT Bio Farma (Persero) has once again achieved success by securing two national awards: the Best Corporate Media Impact 2026 at the Indonesia Corporate Media Awards 2026, and the Best Corporate Social Responsibility Award 2026 at the Indonesia CSR Awards 2026, hosted by Warta Ekonomi in Jakarta on Wednesday (4/6). The awards recognise Bio Farma’s commitment to building transparent, accountable, and positively impactful public communication, as well as implementing sustainable Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) programmes that deliver tangible benefits to the community. Usman Kansong, Director General of Public Information and Communication at the Ministry of Communication and Informatics for the 2021–2024 period, stated that branding, reputation, and public trust are three interconnected elements that form an important foundation for business continuity in the digital era. ‘Branding shapes reputation, and reputation ultimately determines the level of public trust. Trust can only be built when what a company communicates aligns with what it does,’ Usman said. Meanwhile, Deputy for Pollution and Environmental Damage Control, Rasio Ridho Sani, stressed the importance of companies balancing the People, Planet, and Profit aspects in conducting sustainable business activities. ‘For business continuity, it is important for companies not to focus solely on profit. Companies must also pay attention to the people aspect, i.e. those involved such as employees and the surrounding community, as well as the planet aspect which can be seen from environmental performance parameters used in PROPER assessments,’ Rasio stated. Bio Farma Corporate Secretary Bambang Heriyanto, who received the Best Corporate Media Impact 2026 award, said this recognition motivates Bio Farma to keep strengthening the quality of corporate communication in an open, responsible, and public-trust-oriented manner. ‘This award motivates Bio Farma to continuously improve the quality of corporate communication. As a life science company playing a role in supporting national and global health resilience, Bio Farma is committed to building credible, transparent public communication aligned with the company’s real contributions to society,’ Bambang said. On the same occasion, Bio Farma’s Head of Social Responsibility, HSE, Asset and General Management Division, Hidayat Setiadji, who received the Best Corporate Social Responsibility Award 2026, stated that the award further strengthens the company’s spirit in implementing sustainability principles. ‘This award complements the 10th PROPER Emas and Green Leadership achievements earned by Bio Farma earlier this year. We continue to strengthen ESG implementation in TJSL programmes by upholding the principles of People, Planet, and Profit to create a sustainable impact for society and the environment,’ Hidayat explained. The Indonesia Corporate Media Awards 2026 carried the theme ‘Amplifying Brand Impact Through Measurable Media Presence’, appreciating companies deemed successful in making public communication a strategic instrument for building reputation and stakeholder trust. Meanwhile, the Indonesia CSR Awards 2026 recognised companies that have successfully delivered innovative, measurable social and environmental responsibility programmes with positive community impact. These two awards further strengthen Bio Farma’s position as part of the Danantara ecosystem, consistently delivering innovation in the life science sector, running a sustainable business, and safeguarding public trust through performance, social contribution, and credible communication.
