Panasonic takes part in SPOGOMI Jakarta to strengthen environmental commitment
Panasonic GOBEL Group has taken part in the SPOGOMI Jakarta 2026 event in order to strengthen public awareness of the importance of waste management.
“Environmental issues require collective concern and consistent action on the ground. Panasonic’s presence at SPOGOMI 2026, from the Bandung series to Jakarta, is a tangible form of our contribution in inviting the public to change their view of waste, from something originally considered a problem to a shared responsibility that can be resolved through educational and enjoyable means,” said Director of PT Panasonic Gobel Indonesia Arif Gobel in his statement in Jakarta on Wednesday.
Continuing its active participation from phase 1 which was previously held in Bandung, Panasonic consistently encourages public participation in preserving environmental sustainability through this competition based on sport and waste sorting. The Jakarta event this time targets 150 participants from various segments of society.
SPOGOMI is a combination of the words “Sport” and “Gomi”, a Japanese word meaning waste, which turns environmental care actions into an exciting team competition, and has been introduced in Indonesia since 2021 through a collaboration between Marubeni and AEON Delight Indonesia with the support of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia and the Embassy of Japan, growing into an annual environmental movement.
Panasonic’s continuous presence is clear evidence of support for waste sorting education and recycling utilisation, where this year’s event also involves its employees through PT Panasonic Gobel Indonesia (PGI), PT Panasonic Gobel Life Solutions Sales Indonesia (PGLSSID), and PT Panasonic Gobel Life Solutions Manufacturing Indonesia (PGLSMID) who formed teams to collect and sort waste along the competition route.
To enliven SPOGOMI Jakarta 2026, Panasonic presented an Interactive Booth that pampers participants and visitors. At this booth, Panasonic provided a special Hydration & Cool Down Zone area for participants to quench their thirst after competing, as well as presenting the excitement of a Content Challenge with exclusive merchandise prizes.
“Through the Hydration & Cool Down Zone area and various interactive activities at our booth, Panasonic wants to present a refreshing and educational space for all SPOGOMI participants. This participation is one of a series of corporate social responsibility activities in the moment of 70 Years of GOBEL Serving the Nation,” explained General Manager Brand Communication of PT Panasonic Gobel Indonesia Dedi Triono.
Through this participation, Panasonic continues to strengthen its steps in supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targets and the implementation of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles.
The core value of “Care For You” always serves as the foundation for Panasonic to continue to be present bringing a positive impact on people’s lives and the sustainability of the earth.
