VALUE THROUGH INNOVATION

Investing into Communities
Our social responsibility has a direct synergy with our business goals
and it is of strategic importance. We deliver value to society, the region
where we operate, through
(i) preferred procurement
(ii) capacity development of local suppliers
(iii) capacity development of the community
(iv) working with local authorities and
(v) through direct social investments and donations.
We consider all surrounding villages in the vicinity of our plant as our
community and stakeholder. Our unit is located in the region where
we are significant employers, taxpayers and sources of trade for local
entrepreneurs. However, our units also consume large quantities of
energy, the impact is also felt indirectly, such as through the volumes
of traffic from inbound and outbound logistics. We have conducted
impact assessment to identify impacts on community and environment.
Various environmental aspects such as water consumption, waste
disposal, energy consumption, pollution, were considered and the
related impacts on the community were addressed. We found is no
significant impact on communities with regards to the stated aspects.
