Jakarta – As a company committed to supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), PT Dayamitra Telekomunikasi Tbk (Mitratel) consistently implements Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility through various community and environmental empowerment programs, which also serve as the company’s support for the BUMN Bakti Program.
A number of the company’s Community and Environmental Empowerment programs throughout 2024 also target a number of sectors.
In the agricultural sector, Mitratel provided assistance in the form of 1,500 vanilla seedlings to the Lembah Ulu Kasok Forest Farmer Group (KTH), Koto Masjid Village, XIII Koto Kampar District, Kampar Regency, Riau, on Monday, September 23, 2024. This program is a form of the company’s contribution and concern in restoring the ecosystem and empowering farmer groups to improve the economy of communities around forest areas.
Not stopping there, Mitratel also encourages biodiversity by planting 1,000 mangroves on 250 m2 of land on the Tambakrejo Coast, Semarang City, Central Java, which is expected to support the residents of Tambakrejo Village in reducing the risk of seawater abrasion.
From the social side through the Mitratel Berbagi program, the company collected donations of up to IDR 75 million from all company employees to help victims of the flood and landslide disasters in West Sumatra, distributed through the Minang Bandung Indonesia Foundation (YMBI), on May 22, 2024. Mitratel together with Baznas also shared 1,445 packages of kindness in the month of Ramadan 1,445 H to beneficiaries spread across Mitratel’s operational areas, 4 areas and 11 regions in Indonesia, worth IDR 500 million. Mitratel also carried out social activities in special schools (SLB), places of worship, and retirement homes during 2024.
In the health sector, Mitratel conducted a blood donation campaign attended by more than 300 employees in collaboration with Dharmais Cancer Hospital and Forsikatel Group Mitratel (FGM).
Community empowerment in the education sector is developed through equal education. Mitratel provides support for the Solar Panel System developed together with ITB to provide clean renewable energy. Through this program, Mitratel provides a solar panel system at SDN Sukawening Warjabakti, Cimaung District, Bandung Regency, West Java, on September 24, 2024, to help teaching and learning activities.
Mitratel has also innovated and adopted the use of low-carbon construction materials, namely Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) as the main material for building towers that have been successfully implemented in 1 location and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) as a pole reinforcement material in 20 locations. The use of this material not only reduces the weight of the tower to be lighter, but also significantly reduces carbon emissions.
“We are fully committed to helping create a conducive business climate, by continuing to pay attention to sustainability based on the principles of People, Planet, Profit. Consistently playing an active role in supporting the achievement of SDGs, we are determined to implement the triple bottom line (TBL) principle which emphasizes that success is assessed from the balance of three aspects: economic, environmental and social,” said Teddy.
The company also supports the provision of real-time weather and air quality monitoring solutions (IoT weather and air quality). This service has been tested at the Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) Main Stadium in Jakarta.
