Message from the Management
Greetings to all readers of One Step Ahead.
Time keeps passing by. Without realizing
it, we have stepped into the end of 2021.
In a short time, we will welcome 2022, the
year full of hope and new spirit. Hopefully
the time we have lived up to now can be
a blessing for ourselves and the people
around us. Also hopefully, 2022 will be a
better year than the previous years.
The pandemic has not yet ended. However,
expectations for better and more favorable
circumstances must not fade. We must
believe that we can make it through these
difficult times by helping each other with
a sense of togetherness, which is already
strongly instilled within us.
This sense of togetherness is also firmly
held by Korindo Group in running business
activities and social contributions. We are
aware that the pandemic is a difficult thing
to handle without teamwork from various
parties. And it is an honor for us to be
involved in helping people in Indonesia to
face the pandemic.
I invite the big family of Korindo Group
to participate and take part in providing
solutions in these difficult times. We can
share many things with others. It is not
always about materials or things. We can
give prayers, encouragement, and moral
support to those in need.
Furthermore, I tirelessly remind us all
about the importance of health protocol.
Wearing masks, maintaining distance,
avoiding the crowd and regular hand
washing must be done to prevent a wider
spread of COVID-19 virus. This is not just
about us, but the people around us.
In this opportunity, I would also like to
ask the big family of Korindo Group not to
lose a sense of optimism. We must believe
that years full of challenges due to the
pandemic will soon pass, and be replaced
with a year full of opportunities. Make the
experience during this pandemic a valuable
lesson for us to step into the future with
better achievements.
This optimism can be formed through
careful planning. Innovation, hard work,
and cooperation between teams and cross-
division are also important elements in it. It
is not easy, but I believe we can achieve it.
I believe every individual in Korindo Group
can take part in teamwork and build
dreamwork to reach the best achievement.
Until eventually, Korindo Group can
provide a bigger contribution to the people
and the nation of Indonesia.
Korindo Group family must always be
energetic, creative, open-minded, and
innovative for continuous improvement.
Because strong human resources (HR) are
the company’s assets to build a company
that is developed and able to adapt to any
changes.
Lastly, as one big family of Korindo Group, I
hope we can continue to prepare ourselves
and actively participate in achieving a
brighter future. I also pray that we can do
the best for ourselves, our families, and the
company.
I hope the pandemic will soon be over and
the world can recover. I also hope these
last moments of 2021 can be a time for us
to be more productive. I wish good health
for us all.
Mr Seung Eun Ho
Chairman Korindo Group

Editorial Message
Greetings to One Step Ahead readers,
We have stepped into the fourth quarter of 2021. Although the pandemic has not yet
ended, Korindo Group’s desire to provide social contribution for the sake of the welfare
of the Indonesian people never fades away. This positive energy is what we tried to
summarize in the 8th edition of One Step Ahead magazine.
The social contribution efforts that we refer to as Corporate Social Contribution (CSC) also
involves many parties. Especially together with the local government as policy makers in
the company’s operational area. This synergy is what makes Korindo Group always able to
consistently contribute to the development of Indonesia.
One of our CSC activities that we highlighted in the 8th edition of the magazine is the
development of Pondok Rajeg City Forest, Bogor Regency. Not only for the environmental
preservation, this program also seeks to achieve the goal of community empowerment.
This large-scale greening program is the second program carried out by Korindo Group in
Bogor Regency. Previously, in 2019, Korindo Group through Korindo Foundation had built
and managed the Pakansari City Forest.
A hydroponic mentorship program was also continued and developed more massively.
This time, Korindo Foundation teamed up with a farmers group in the company area to
develop urban farming in the new normal era.
Consistency in running a program with a similar theme, yet in a more massive scale, is
proof that Korindo Group implemented the principle of sustainability.
The principle of sustainability that has been implemented so far was recognized and
received appreciation from various stakeholders. Including the local government, which is
the external stakeholder of Korindo Group.
In this 8th edition of One Step Ahead Magazine, we also discuss the latest program
from Korindo Foundation, namely Korindo Green Sponsorship 2021. In this program,
Korindo Foundation provided relief fund assistance of up to Rp 30 million to two selected
organizations for a two-year period of program.
As a closing remark, we would like to encourage the big family of Korindo Group to care
about each other during the difficult times due to the pandemic.
Furthermore, we tirelessly ask you, the readers, to innovate. The COVID-19 pandemic has
driven Indonesia to change through new ways and we are forced to leave our old habits
that aren’t relevant and go beyond impossibilities.
We hope the contents we presented in this 2021’s 8th edition of One Step Ahead
Magazine can be beneficial for you. Happy reading.

Editorial Message

JAKARTA – Since its dedication in Indonesia
in 1969, Korindo Group always strives to
be a company that is driven by a good
purpose. The purpose is simple yet clear,
which is to help create a better Indonesia.
In addition to products and business
activities, Korindo strives to achieve these
goals through social responsibility, which is
branded as Corporate Social Contribution
(CSC).
In general, Korindo Group CSC holds onto
five pillars, namely education, health,
economy, environment, and infrastructure.
Through these pillars, Korindo has a strong
desire to be a part of the solution to
sustainable development in Indonesia.
With CSC pillars as guidance, we
implement social contribution programs
in various forms of activities. All of which
have one purpose; to provide long-term
benefits for society and the environment.
The Chairman of Korindo Group Robert
Seung, who also serves as the Chief
Executive of Korindo Foundation said
that Korindo’s social responsibility is only
a small part of what it takes to create a
better Indonesia.
“However, we keep striving to be the
catalyst of change. We believe that by
sharing, life will be more meaningful,” said
Robert.
Korindo always seeks to conduct CSC
programs that are on target. This can be
achieved through collaborations between
the headquarters, business units that are
spread in various regions of Indonesia,
and Korindo Foundation as a division
that specifically handles Korindo’s social
responsibility programs.
This synergy also ensures that the impact
of Korindo’s CSC programs can reach out
to more communities in Indonesia. In
accordance with our principle, wherever
Korindo’s business unit is located, it must
provide benefits and inspiration for the
surrounding environment.
Korindo also often provides situational
assistance, including assistance to
people affected by disasters. One of the
assistances is food aid to the people
affected by flood in North Arut District and
South Arut District, West Kotawaringin,
Central Kalimantan, in August last year.
An intensive support was also given
by Korindo to people affected by the
COVID-19 pandemic. Assistance was
provided in various forms, from medical
equipment for health workers, provision of
vitamins and masks to the community, to
scholarships for affected students.
Robert described that the series of actions
carried out by Korindo is a form of concern
toward others and appreciation for the
devotion and dedication of the medical
workers in facing the pandemic. “This is
what we can contribute from Korindo for
Indonesia,” he said.
Five Pillars of CSC for the Community
After five decades of dedication in
Indonesia, Korindo has now become the
leading company in various industries
in the markets of Asia, the Middle East,
United States, and Europe. Korindo’s
Korindo
CSC Creates
Future of
Sustainability
In carrying out its social contribution, Korindo Group set 5 pillars, namely Education,
Health, Economy, Environment, dan Infrastructure.
Main Stories

success is not only determined by
the management and operational
performance. The support from the
community is also a major factor in the
company’s achievement.
In Korindo’s point of view, community is
not only defined as people living near the
company’s areas. Moreover, the ones who
are continuously involved in the company’s
business and social activities are also a part
of the community according to Korindo.
In this context, Korindo has a commitment
to improve the harmonious and mutually
beneficial relationship with the community
through CSC. Korindo has also directed
so that the entire CSC program will be
able to provide positive impacts for life,
the community’s mindset, as well as
environmental sustainability.
In creating every CSC activity, Korindo sets
sustainable development as orientation, a
way of thinking, and guidance, which is still
based on the five pillars.
The quality of Human Resources (HR) is
one of the keys to success in sustainable
development. From this understanding,
Korindo consistently provides assistances
in the field of education, including
scholarships.
Some of the programs that are regularly
held is Yonsei University Exchange
Program, an exchange between Indonesian
student with student from Yonsei
University, South Korea. Korindo also
often provides funding assistance to high-
achieving children of employees.
Korindo’s attention is not only intended
for high level education. A few years ago,
Korindo also donated educational games
for the Early Childhood Education (PAUD)
level in Pancoran area, South Jakarta.
Korindo realized that the quality of
education in Indonesia can not be
separated from the role of teachers.
Therefore, through a number of CSC
programs, Korindo also provides support
to educators who have a real dedication
for the development of education in
Indonesia.
The next pillar is the pillar of health.
Consistently, Korindo Group emphasizes
the importance of equitable access to
health in the CSC program. This attention
was addressed in the form of construction
of health clinics in several operational
areas of Korindo’s business units that can
be utilized by the local residents.
Through these clinics, Korindo provides
treatment at an affordable price, with

some of them are even provided for
free. On the other hand, various health
campaigns are also regularly carried
out, including health counseling for
children, young mothers, pregnant and
breastfeeding women.
Several Korindo’s business units have
shown their consistency to contribute
towards toddlers’ health. For instance,
Korindo’s Paper Products Division that
provides additional nutritious food
(Supplementary feeding/PMT) on a regular
basis to hundreds of toddlers in a number
of integrated health posts (Posyandu). In
its implementation, the Paper Products
Division teamed up with health activists in
Bogor, which is the company’s location.
Mobile posyandu activity is also a part of
Paper Products Division’s CSC in health.
The program, which is being carried out
often, is proof of the company’s concern
for the health of the community around
the operational area.
Korindo aspires to be a company
that is able to provide benefits to the
local economic development and the
surrounding communities. To realize this
desire, Korindo regularly carries out CSC
programs in the pillar of economy that
encourages economic independence to
improve the community’s welfare.
Productive business assistances in the
form of financing and equipment are often
provided. Among them are for fish and
poultry livestock business to cultivation of
vegetable crops and hydroponics.
At the same time, Korindo is commited to
conduct a mentoring program. This activity
is intended to help the community’s
business to be able to produce the best
results that last long term.
The productive and direct business
assistance is expected to increase the
income of every family and improve local
economic growth. The end result is a
sustainable social welfare that can be felt
by many parties.
Through the pillar of environment,
Korindo strives to help the community
and environment to receive added value
from the company’s presence. Various real
actions have proved that commitment,
from regular environmental clean-up,
education on protected flora and fauna, to
Main Stories

the conversion of nonproductive land into
an open green space.
Korindo also collaborated with various
stakeholders for the success of the CSC
program. One of them is Bogor Regency
Government in the green collaboration
activity, which has started since 2019
through the development of the Pakansari
City Forest. In 2021, a collaboration was
held once again in the development of
Pondok Rajeg City Forest.
Not only for environment preservation,
greening activities conducted by Korindo
were also carried out with the aim
of community empowerment. This is
achieved through community involvement
in the development preparation and
maintenance of Pakansari City Forest and
The last pillar is infrastructure. One of the
important priorities in Korindo’s CSC is the
infrastructure development for the public
benefit. This focus was delivered in the
form of assistance for the construction and
development of infrastructures such as the
repair of roads and bridges.
Land grants are also a part of CSC in the
pillar of infrastructure. This program
is conducted by the Timber Plantation
Division in the form of a land area of 10.2
hectares (ha) which was handed over
voluntarily to the West Kotawaringin
Regency Government, Central Kalimantan.
This land was utilized by the government
to build people’s market with the go green
concept.
Sustainability in Business Activities
The principle of sustainability is not
only strongly held by Korindo in the CSC
activities. In running its business lines,
Korindo continues to take part in topic
of sustainability, for national and global
scales.
One of the topics that are included in
Korindo’s priority is environmentally
friendly development, such as low carbon
development which is projected as the
new drive for the economy. In addition to
high oil prices, this perspective can not be
separated from issues of environmental
damage and degradation.
Korindo seeks to take part in the topic
through a commitment to sustainable
forest management. Korindo’s Forestry
Division optimizes wood production with
high quality that can be utilized for a wide
range of products, including paper and
plywood.
Meanwhile, the Paper Products Division
produces newsprint and paper-based
products made from recycled paper.
Korindo is known as one of the market
leaders in this sector.
On the other hand, Korindo’s Oil Palm
Division develops its function in continuous
and sustainable manner by applying
efficient management practices and
procedures.
A commitment to creating a sustainable
development is also implemented by
Korindo through the development of wind
power as a part of renewable energy. Our
wind tower company was founded four
decades ago and has obtained ISO 9001
certification after going through a rigorous
international quality and compliance test
to produce high-quality goods while always
providing timely service. (pr)

WEST KOTAWARINGIN– Central Kalimantan
(Kalteng) Province had experienced oxygen
crisis for treating COVID-19 patients. As
quoted from Media Indonesia on Tuesday
(27/7), oxygen supply at hospitals in
Central Kalimantan was only enough for
seven days. The regional government was
trying hard to find extra supply of oxygen,
both from the central government and
private companies located in the area.
The oxygen crisis occurred along with
a significant increase in the number of
COVID-19 patients, yet it was not followed
with sufficient supply of oxygen. The supply
was increasingly limited considering that
the average oxygen needs for COVID-19
patients is much higher than the one for
patients with typical diseases.
“While patients with typical diseases
need an average of 4-5 liters of oxygen
per minute, COVID-19 patients need as
much as 48 liters per minute,” the Head of
Central Kalimantan Health Service, Suyuti
Syamsul explained.
At that time, the demand for oxygen was
estimated to increase up to three times
compare to the usual need. Health facilities
even borrowed from each other in order
to meet the demand. Hospitals that owned
a lot of oxygen supply lent some to other
hospitals experiencing an oxygen crisis.
When that supply was met or additional
supply oxygen was available, the oxygen
supply would be returned.
Various efforts were made by the Central
Kalimantan Provincial Government.
One of them was writing to the central
government to help with the oxygen
supply, especially for regencies with
only one hospital available. The regional
government also contacted all oxygen
distributors all over Central Kalimantan
to increase production and ensure an
effective distribution.
Efforts to find more oxygen supply were
also aggressively carried out by hospitals.
Quoted from a local media, Pro Kalteng
on Wednesday (28/7), Dr. Doris Sylvanus
Hospital (RSDS) Palangka Raya continued its
coordination with liquid oxygen distributors
that once reduced their supplies due to
being overwhelmed.
This critical condition prompted PT Korindo
Ariabima Sari (KABS) to restart its oxygen

generator. As a company operating in
Central Kalimantan, West Kotawaringin,
KABS has a moral responsibility to join the
effort in solving the regional problems by
trying to meet the oxygen needs.
For three months, from July to September
2021, KABS produced oxygen meant for
the handling of COVID-19 pandemic in
Central Kalimantan. The donation was
handed over to the West Kotawaringin
Regency Government to be distributed to
West Kotawaringin as well as other regions
in Central Kalimantan.
This collaboration was written as an
agreement in the form of memorandum of
understanding (MoU) signed at the West
Kotawaringin Regency Office on Tuesday
(3/8), which was attended in person by the
Regent of West Kotawaringin, Nurhidayah
and the Director of KABS, Lim Young Taek.
The oxygen produced by KABS was
estimated to be able to fill 70 to 80
oxygen tanks per day. “Hopefully with this
donation, the oxygen shortage could be
resolved,” said the General Manager of
KABS, Rahmad Effendi, on behalf of Lim.
Since the last three years, oxygen
generator owned by KABS had no longer
been in operation. However, the West
Kowaringin Regency Government and
other related parties has ensured that the
machine can function properly after being
checked and received an operation-worthy
certificate.
Within the first two days, KABS’ oxygen
production was estimated to reach
900 large-sized tanks. The tanks were
immediately distributed to hospitals and
treatment facilities in West Kotawaringin as
well as other areas in Central Kalimantan ,
namely Lamandau, Kapuas, and Palangka
Raya City.
KABS handed over all of the technical
process and distribution arrangement of
the oxygen to the local government so it
would have a ‘one-door’ policy so as not to
cause confusion for the public. “Our task is
merely to carry out the production,” said
Rahmad, quoted by Kalteng Online, Sunday
(25/7).
Korindo Group’s concern during the
COVID-19 pandemic was shown through
various programs. In addition to assisting
with the oxygen production while on
shortage, Korindo Group through its
business units provided direct assistance in
the form of medical equipment supply.
In July, PT Dongbang Development
(Dongbang), a business unit in the real
estate sector, distributed vitamins and
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to the
community in Pancoran through the urban
village office. Previously, Korindo Group
also distributed hundreds of thousands
of surgical masks and Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) to medical workers in
Papua.
The series of assistance provided is
expected to be able to ease the burden
of the community, the local governments,
and medial workers in facing these
difficult times. As a company with more
than five decades of dedication in
Indonesia, Korindo Group will continue its
contributions in easing the burden.(pr)

JAKARTA– A number of Korindo Group’s
Corporate Social Contribution (CSC)
programs received a positive attention
from various parties, including the
government. At both central and regional
levels, the government often appreciates
Korindo’s contributions, which includes
infrastructure and environment sectors.
The latest appreciation was expressed
by the Regency Government of West
Kotawaringin, Central Kalimantan,
for the oxygen donation provided by
Korindo through PT Korindo Ariabima
Sari (KABS). The company allocated the
oxygen it produced to community in West
Kotawaringin and other regions in Central
Kalimantan.
Regent Nurhidayah described that the
West Kotawaringin region was experiencing
an oxygen shortage so that an assistance
from KABS would have significant impact.
“I express my gratitude and appreciation to
the management of PT Korindo Ariabima
Sari for helping in oxygen production,” she
said during the cooperation agreement on
Tuesday (3/8).
Nurhidayah said that her team alongside
the Central Kalimantan Provincial
Government had carried out a feasibility
test on oxygen production in KABS and
the results had met the criteria. The
cooperation of oxygen distribution will run
from July to September 2021.
Previously, praises were also given to PT
Korintiga Hutani (KTH), a Korindo Group’s
business unit specialized in forestry
sector in Central Kalimantan. The West
Kotawaringin Regency Government
expressed its appreciation for the
construction of a connecting road between
Nanga Mua Village and Pangkut Urban
Village. The construction was a consortium
carried out by KTH to facilitate the traffic of
people and goods.
Another appreciation came from the
DKI Jakarta Provincial Government.
They considered that the assistance and
guidance on the catfish cultivation one
developed by Korindo in South Jakarta area
by involving the elderly gave a positive and
massive impact. Especially in providing
a platform for the elderly to carry out
productive activities.
Two years ago, Korindo through Korindo
Foundation even received an award
from the Padmamitra+ Awards for the
urban farming program in Pengadegan,
South Jakarta. At the awarding, Korindo
Foundation received an award in the
category ‘Social Programs that Deliver
Sustainable Impact’.
Padmamitra+ Awards are given to
companies that have taken part in
developing Jakarta through Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) activities. The
award was handed over in person by the
Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan.
“Together with the DKI Jakarta CSR Forum,
we will continue to collaborate and
synergize so Jakarta can progress as a city
and bring happiness to its citizens,” he said
at the time.
Appreciation also came from Bogor.
The Bogor Regency Government gave an
award certificate to Korindo Foundation as
an organizer of social and environmental
responsibility that has played a role in
the development in Bogor Regency in the
2019-2020 period.
The charter was given for the development
program of Pakansari City Forest, Cibinong.
On top of a two hectare (ha) land, Korindo
revamped an unused empty area into
a lush open green space planted with
Eucalyptus deglupta trees.
In collaboration with Bogor Regency
Government, Korindo started to build and
manage the Pakansari City Forest in 2019.
In 2022, Korindo will fully hand it over
to the local government to be used as a
place for recreation or sports for the local
community.
Despite the series of appreciation and
praises it has received, Korindo will not
stop providing social contributions. “This
achievement actually brought enthusiasm
for us to be more active, aggressive, and
expansive in implementing CSC which has
a more significant impact on many parties,”
said Seo Jeong Sik, General Secretary of
Korindo Foundation.
One of the follow-up actions is the
development plan of urban forest on the
former Landfill of Pondok Rajeg, Bogor.
At the moment, Korindo’s Afforestation
Division is conducting a feasibility test to
ensure the suitability of plants that will be
planted with the land characteristics.
Korindo’s commitment to contribute to
people, environment, and the government
through CSC has been carried out for more
than 50 years of the company’s economic
activities in Indonesia. This program
addresses five pillars, namely education,
health, environment, infrastructure, and
economy.

JAKARTA –Since March 2020, COVID-19 has
hit various countries, including Indonesia.
According to the data on Covid19.go.id,
up untillast August, more than 4 million
positive cases were recorded in Indonesia
with 3.7 million of them having recovered.
Around 130,000 people have died fighting
the virus.
Numerous efforts have been made by
the government and stakeholders to
suppress the spread of the virus, including
implementing a policy of restricting
activities in crowd places. As a result,
the economic wheels of a number of
community groups have stalled.
As part of an industry that has long been
operating in Indonesia, Korindo Group
wanted to take part in the issue. Through
various Corporate Social Contribution
(CSC) programs, Korindo Group helped the
community to adapt during the COVID-19
pandemic.
One of the activities carried out is
the development of urban farming.
This program was initiated by Korindo
Foundation, a division specifically handles
Korindo Group’s social responsibility
programs, alongside the Arpati Farmers
Group of RT 08/001, Pengadegan Urban
Village, Pancoran, South Jakarta.
Korindo Foundation also teamed-up with
Saparno, a resident of Pengadegan who
had previously been active in hydroponic
activities, as a mentor for Arpati Farmers
Group. Six years ago, Korindo Foundation
sent Saparno to attend a training on
hydroponic at the Bogor Agricultural
Institute (IPB).
The first urban farming program began in
March 2021 by building hydroponic and
aquaponicsinstallations with a capacity of
200 plant hydroponic plant holes and 1,000
freshwater fish. Two months after, Arpati
Farmers Groups had already harvested five
kilograms (kg) of bok choy and kale plants
as well as hundreds of catfish.
General Secretary of Korindo Foundation,
Seo Jeongsik said that the development
of urban farming on the Ciliwung
riverbank could be an example of
reforestation activities as well as economic
empowerment for the community. This
activity tends to be easy to do with results
that can help meet the community food
needs and drive the wheels of economy.
“This can be a part of urban
farming development program
in the current new normal era,”
Seo Jeongsik said.
Efforts to encourage the community’s
economic independence during the
pandemic are also carried out through
a partnership program called Korindo
Green Sponsorship 2021. This program
is being run for the first time by Korindo
Foundation with the aim of supporting
development, including Micro, Small, and
Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Greater
Jakarta area (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok,
Tangerang, and Bekasi).
Through the program, Korindo Foundation
provides an assistance fund of a
maximum Rp 30 million for two selected
organizations for two years. Kajang Mandiri
Sejahtera and Komunitas Peduli Yatim dan
Dhuafa are the two organizations that
managed to pass the selection process.
The two selected organizations are both
developing catfish farms. Mandiri Sejahtera
prioritizes its harvest for the welfare of the
local community. Meanwhile, Komunitas
Peduli Yatim dan Dhuafa shares some of its
harvest to orphans and the poor.
The Manager of Korindo Foundation,
Setiyono said explained that Korindo
Green Sponsorship 2021 emphasizes
the sustainability aspect in accordance
with Korindo Group’s CSC values. This
program is not merely ceremonial, but
instead considers the long-term impact
on the community and the surrounding
environment. “Therefore, we also provide
assistance,” he concluded.
Korindo Group’s contribution in handling
the COVID-19 pandemic has often been
done since last year. Various donations of
medical equipment have been distributed
to many different regions in line with the
community empowerment program (pr)

JJAKARTA – Environment
preservation is one of the pillars
of Korindo Group in conducting
its Corporate Social Contribution
(CSC) programs. Through various
sustainable initiatives, Korindo
hopes that the community and
the environment will receive
added-value from the company’s
existence.
Greening activity is the main program
carried out within the field of the
environment in CSC. From the
development of hydroponics in community
scale to the development of urban
forest, all were conducted to achieve the
purpose of environment preservation and
community empowerment.
After initiating a hydroponic cultivation
program in a narrow alley in Rawajati
Urban Village, Pancoran, South Jakarta,
which was started four years ago and still
ongoing until today, Korindo held a similar
program once again. In March 2021, the
company initiated an urban farming activity
in Pengadegan Urban Village, Pancoran, by
teaming up with Arpati RT 08/001 Farmers
Group.
In its new program, Korindo developed
hydroponics and aquaponics at the
Ciliwung Riverside. Two months passed,
the urban farming has brought results.
At least five kilograms of bok choy and
kale plants as well as dozens of catfish
have been harvested at the early stage of
the program. Most of the harvest is sold
directly to the local community, while the
rest is consumed with families.
A greening activity in a larger scale was also
carried out by Korindo by developing an
urban forest in Bogor Regency, West Java.
Exactly on the former landfill of Pondok
Rajeg, Cibinong, Korindo Foundation
with the Bogor Regency Government will
develop an open green space of seven
hectares (ha).
In June 2021, Afforestation Division of
Korindo Group has started to conduct a
feasibility study in the area. About two
months afterward, or in early September,
Korindo together with Bogor Regency
conducted a land clearing process on an
area of 2,700 square meters to be used as
a trial area.
When the land clearing process is finished,
the area will be planted with sengon and
trembesi trees. The trial planting activity
is expected to last for one year, which will
end in September 2022.
The development of Pondok Rajeg City
Forest is not only proof of Korindo’s
commitment in environment preservation.
This program also illustrates the
company’s efforts in empowering the local
community.
At least six local citizens were happily
involved in the land clearing activity,
including Abdurahman (65 years old).

involvement of the community is proof of
sustainability that Korindo Group is trying
achieve in each CSC program. “We don’t
want to carry out a social responsibility
that is only ceremonial, but a social
responsibility that provides wide and long
term benefits,” he said.
Greening activities are also actively
being carried out by business units of
Korindo Group. One of them is PT Aspex
Kumbong that is carrying out integrated
greening activity or land rehabilitation of
nonproductive land into productive land
to be utilized as greening zone and fruit
trees cultivation area. The program, known
as Green Corner was carried out on an
open land near company area in Cileungsi,
Bogor.
Outside Java Island, PT Korintiga Hutani
planted 1,000 trees in Sungai Pulau Village,
West Kotawaringin, Central Kalimantan.
There seeds are expected to grow lush
and become water infiltration around
the village water reservoir, so it would be
beneficial to the local community and local
biodiversity.
In the future, Seo said, Korindo will
continue to innovate in carrying out CSC
activities in the field of the environment.
“We ensure to contribute to the
environment preservation for the sake of
providing benefits to the environment itself
and the local community,” he said. (pr)

Pondok Rajeg City Forest is the second
open green space developed by Korindo
in collaboration with Bogor Regency.
Previously, in 2019, Korindo Foundation
has developed Pakansari City Forest,
which is located in the Pakansari Stadium,
Cibinong.
To date, Korindo is still responsible for
the management of the urban forest
by involving the local community. The
responsibility will be handed over to Bogor
Regency in November 2022 to be used as a
place of recreation or open green space by
the surrounding community.

Pondok Rajeg
City Forest, a
Synergy of Bogor
Regency Govt.
and Korindo for
the Environment
BOGOR – Bogor Regency Government
and Korindo Group once again formed
a synergy to preserve the environment
through the development of an urban
forest. After successfully converting a
vacant land into green open space in
Pakansari, Cibinong, now both parties
carried out an attempt to revamp the
former landfill of Pondok Rajeg, Cibinong,
Bogor, West Java.
A collaboration between Bogor Regency
Government and Korindo stems from a
strong commitment to build a green area
that is beneficial for the wider community.
An urban forest will not only provide an
added value from the aesthetic side, but
also functions as an air purifier, ensures
the availability of ground water, protects
against the heat of the sun and acts as a
habitat for animals in the city.
Those benefits has now began to be felt
in Pakansari City Forest. The two hectare
(ha) open green space near the Pakansari
Stadium is now covered with Eucalyptus
deglupta. The shady tree cover creates a
cool and comfortable atmosphere to rest.
The Pakansari City Forest has entered its
second year. Korindo Foundation has also
been handling the management for the
same period of time. Next year, around
November 2022, Korindo Foundation will
officially hand over Pakansari City Forest
to the Bogor Regency Government to be
used as a place of recreation for the local
community.
Korindo keeps showing its commitment
in a tireless and continuous manner. Two
years after the inauguration of Pakansari
City Forest, Korindo together with Bogor
Regency Government held a collaboration
to build a Pondok Rajeg City Forest.
2020 is the year when Korindo began its
involvement in the development of Pondok
Rajeg City Forest. At that time, Korindo
Foundation sent a Letter of Interest (LoI) to
the Bogor Regency Government regarding
the company’s interest in supporting the
development of urban forest.
After going through a number of
discussions, the two parties started the
preparation stage. In June 2021, the
Afforestation Division of Korindo Group
together with the Regional Development
Planning Agency Research and
Development (Bappedalitbang) as well as
the Environmental Service Office (DLH) of
Bogor Regency conducted a land survey.
In the survey, as many as three plots sized
30 meters x 30 meters were created for
the trial area. Each plot is covered with 100
trembesi and sengon trees. A feasibility
study needed to be done in advance given
the land characteristics in the former
landfill of Pondok Rajeg tend to be soft, as
opposed to the one in Pakansari City Forest
or the other open green space areas built
by Korindo.
In mid-September, on Monday (13/9),
Korindo Foundation and Bogor Regency
Government inaugurated the trial
planting of Pondok Rajeg City Forest
through the signing of a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU). This signing process
was held in the Office of Bappedalitbang of
Bogor Regency.
The trial activity started on Monday (25/9)
followed by intensive monitoring. The
process is targeted to run for a year and
will end in September 2022. When the trial
process is finished, both parties will enter
into the next stage, namely the signing of
the MoU for the official planting stage.

The General Secretary of Korindo
Foundation Seo Jeongsik hoped that the
trial process can run smoothly and show
good results so that the development
process can be continued on the entire
land. “Therefore, the existence of
Pondok Rajeg City Forest will be able to
immediately provide benefits to the entire
community,” he said while giving a speech
at the inauguration of the trial planting of
Bogor Regency Government through the
Head of the Environmental Service Office,
Asnan expressed his deepest appreciation
and gratitude to Korindo Foundation for
actively contributing to the development of
Bogor Regency.
“Hopefully all stages will run smoothly so
that Pondok Rajeg City Forest can provide
optimal benefits for the community in
order to create a comfortable Bogor
Regency,” he said on behalf of the Bogor
Regent Ade Yasin, who was unable to
attend the event.
Asnan mentioned that the green
collaboration carried out by Korindo
has helped realize Bogor Regency
Government’s commitment to set up a
number of Open Green Spaces (RTH) in
Bogor Regency. In the future, he hopes that
Korindo can continue to participate and
create a synergy in various development
program from the local government,
especially in greening activities.
Urban Forest for the Community
In building an urban forest, Korindo Group
does not only consider the benefits to the
environment. On the other hand, Korindo
also takes concern about its impacts
on the local community. Therefore, the
empowerment of the local community is
something that must be done.
While managing Pakansari City Forest,
Korindo invited the local community to
participate in its maintenance. They are
involved in the clean-up activity of wild
plants, cutting of the lower limbs, to the
provision of fertilizers.
Korindo also provides flexibility to the
community to utilize the weeds in the back
area of Pakansari City Forest as livestock
feed.
“This is proof of our efforts to always
provide a positive and optimal impact for
the local community in each of our CSC
activity,” said Seo Jeongsik.
Korindo’s participation in the development
and management of Pakansari City
Forest received an appreciation from
the Bogor Regency Government. This
appreciation was given in the form of an
award certificate for Korindo Foundation
as an agent for social and environmental
responsibility, which has been instrumental
in the development in Bogor Regency
within the period of 2019-2020
As has been previously done in Pakansari
City Forest, Korindo once again
empowered the local community in the
development of Pondok Rajeg City Forest,
Bogor. Six local residents were involved in
the land clearing activity for a trial area.
They cut down the banana plants that
previously covered the area. The banana
stems are used as a border of the trial
area.
Korindo’s commitment is in line with
Bogor Regency’s wish. The Head of Pondok
Rajeg Village Suhendi ensured that the
local residents would be involved in the
development and management process of
Pondok Rajeg City Forest in the future.
This involvement is expected to help
the community who are looking for an
additional income during the pandemic.
Especially those who have been receiving
income from utilizing banana plants in the
area of Pondok Rajeg former landfill.
“With this urban forest, they (re: the
cultivating community) hoped to be
empowered and we will facilitate that,”
said Suhendi. (pr)

Pakansari City Forest Brings Many
Benefits Ahead of Its Second Year
BOGOR – Pakansari City Forest, Bogor
has started to bring many benefits to the
surrounding community, from economic to
environmental aspects. This green space is
part of the Corporate Social Contribution
(CSC) programs from Korindo Foundation
in collaboration with Bogor Regency
Government.
One of the benefits that was felt is the
empowerment of the local community. In
managing Pakansari City Forest, Korindo
Foundation invited several residents to
take part in its maintenance. They were
involved in fertilization, cutting of lower
branches, and controlling of weeds that
have the potential to interfere with the
tree growth.
Hendrik (52 years old), one of the
residents empowered by Korindo, said
that he was happy to be involved in
managing Pakansari City Forest. In addition
to providing help in terms of income,
this activity is a meansto participate in
environmental preservation in his living
area.
“I am happy to be able to help here,” said
Hendrik, who regularly visits the urban
forest to check the condition of the tree
growth.
In the future, Hendrik hopes that the green
space located in front of the Pakansari
Stadium can be more lush so that it
can provide many benefits for the local
community.
In Pakansari City Forest, only one type
of tree is planted, namely Eucalyptus
deglupta. The planting process began in
2019 on an area of 2 hectares (ha). As of
February 2021, more than 1,800 trees have
been planted.
Seo Jeong Sik stated that Pakansari City
Forest is a fruit of commitment from
Korindo Foundation to participate in
preserving the environment while also
empowering the local community.
He explained that since the beginning
the management of the urban forest has
been carried out together with the local
community while still being supervised
by Korindo Foundation. “We invited
several residents to take care of the place
together,” he said.
With this intensive management,
Eucalyptus deglupta trees have grown
lush in Pakansari City Forest. Especially the
trees planted for the first time in the front
area of the urban forest.
In fact, the growth of several trunks of
trees, which are known as the rainbow
trees, has passed the target. SeoJeongSik
estimated that currently, the height of
several trees has reached seven meters,

almost two years.

exceeding the expectation and target set
by Korindo Foundation.
“We targeted that the growth of these
trees would be five meters in one year,
but many area already taller than that,” he
said.
In addition to optimal management, many
environmental factors help trees to grow
lush such as sunlight and rain intensity.
The benefits that are now starting to
be felt by many are the use of weeds as
animal feed. At the back part of Pakansari
City Forest, there is an area that is difficult
to absorb water, or known as wet area.
When the rain falls, water often pools
around the trees, causing weeds to grow
quickly.
Despite the risk of damaging tree growth,
Korindo Foundation still conducts selective
control on weeds. This is done so the
surrounding community can utilize is for
animal feed. “People who own goats or
cows can cut the grass here to feed their
livestock,” he explained.
He continued by saying that there are
many potential benefits that can be
created from the existence of Pakansari
City Forest. For example, when the trees
have grown more lush, the area can
become a location for water absorption.
This is because Eucalyptus deglupta has
the characteristics of roots that are able to
absorb large amount of water.
On the other hand, Pakansari City Forest
can be used as a recreational area for the
surrounding community. The leafy canopy
of Eucalyptus deglupta allows the visitors
to do exercise or just relax under it. The
color of the trunk shows colorful streaks,
which add a visual sense of comfort.
Korindo Foundation will hand over the
urban forest management to the Bogor
Regency Government in November 2022.
“So we are managing it for three years
(2019-2021) and will hand it over to the
regency government in November 2022,”
he concluded. (pr)
Pakansari City Forest is
a fruit of commitment
from Korindo Foundation
to participate in
preserving the
environment while also
empowering the local

Korindo Requires
All Employees to
Be Vaccinated
JAKARTA – Starting on August 10, 2021,
the management of Korindo Group
headquarters in Jakarta requires all
employees to be vaccinated with at least
one dose. This policy is mainly prioritized
for those who are required to come to the
office or Work from Office (WFO).
“Employees who work from the office
(WFO) must be vaccinated against
COVID-19, with at least 1 (one) dose,”
as stated on the HR circular letter dated
August 10, 2021.
The vaccination requirement is enforced in
all business units of Korindo Group. “This
aims to help the government program in
accelerating vaccination in order to achieve
herd immunity,” said Vice President
Director of Human Resources Development

Pancoran area, South Jakarta to use
the PeduliLindungi app on their mobile
phones. This app allows the government to
monitor and detect movements of people
who are exposed to COVID-19 from the
past 14 days. This will make it easy for
the government to identify and detect
the community through the tracking of
location data and information in digital
manner.
Up until this news, Korindo Group
headquarters still imposes the Work from
Home (WFH) policy. This policy is taken
along with the decision of the central
government that still applies Imposition of

Level Three.
If in the future, there are tasks that cannot
be performed at home, employees can
carry out the tasks at the office. However,
they must obtain permission from their
respective division head with maintaining
the limit of number of workers in every
office space in accordance with the
applicable government regulations. The
implementation of the health protocol
should also be applied in a disciplined
manner.
Seo emphasized to all employees of
Korindo Group to maintain productivity
while implementing a clean and healthy
lifestyle during working from home. “I
also hope that we are all healthy and safe
wherever we are,” he said.
Vaccination Support
Korindo Group’s efforts to promote
a successful vaccination program are
not only shown through the vaccine
requirement regulations for all employees.
On the other hand, Korindo Group through
its business units also provides vaccination
facilities for the workers.
One of which is PT Bimaruna Jaya by
collaborating with DKI Jakarta Health

all employees at the company in mid-
July 2021. These activities reached the
entire division, ranging from the staff to

in fertilization to control of weeds, which
have the risk of damaging tree growth.
Not only helping to increase people’s
income, the activity is an educational
forum for residents to participate in
preserving the environment in their living
area.
One benefit that is now also widely felt is
the use of weeds for animal feed. At the
back part of Pakansari City Forest, there
is an area thatis difficult to absorb water
(wet area). When the rain falls, water often
pools around the trees, causing weeds to
grow quickly. Korindo Foundation conducts
selective control so the community can use
it for animal feed without hampering the
growth of trees.
Korindo’s CSC in Bogor Regency also covers
health aspect. Through its subsidiary, PT
AspexKumbong, Korindo Group often holds
Supplementary Food Provision (PMT) and
health counseling for pregnant women,
breastfeeding mothers and toddlers. This
activity is expected to build a synergy in
improving the health conditions of mothers
and toddlers.
SeoJeongSik hopes that the series of
Korindo’s CSC programs held in Bogor
Regency can provide benefits to many
people. On the other hand, the company’s
social responsibility can help the local
government in achieving targets of regional
development.
“In the future, Korindo is committed to
keep continuing to hold CSC programs that
have more significant impact on various
parties,” Seo explained.
This commitment has been proven with
Korindo Group’s plan to develop open
green space in Bogor Regency.Exactly
on the former landfill of PondokRajeg,
Cibinong, Korindo Groupalong with the
Bogor Regency Government will build an
urban forest.
As an initial stage, Korindo Group’s
Afforestation Division is conducting a
feasibility study. The process is targeted to
last for six months starting in June 2021.
This study aims to determine the right
types of trees that can be planted in the
area of former landfill of PondokRajeg.
“We hope that the preparation process can
run quickly so the urban forest can be built
immediately and be enjoyed by the local
community,” Seo concluded.(pr)

Bambang Soesatyo is trusted to be the
Chairman of Indonesia-Korea Network
(IKN) as a gathering forum for around 29
South Korean companies to assist the
development and relocation of the State
Capital City in East Kalimantan. The budget
needed for building and relocation of
the National Capital City reached Rp 466
trillion, while the state fund (APBN) only
allocated around Rp 89.4 trillion (19.2
percent).
“The rest is around Rp 253 trillion (54.4
percent) through the Government
Cooperation with Business Entities
(KPBU), and the Rp 123.2 trillion (26.4
trillion) from private funding. Opening
opportunities for investors to be involved,
as well as reducing the country’s burden,
Indonesia-Korea Network for the National
Capital City (IKN for IKN) will assist the
building and relocation of the National
Capital City, especially in the development,
construction, and financial sectors,”
Bamsoet explained after receiving
representatives from Indonesia- Korea
Network in Jakarta, Monday (3/5/21).
Also attending were the Chief of Staff of
the South Korean Cooperation for the
Relocation of the Indonesia’s National
Capital City from the National Agency for
Administrative Construction, Mr. Hyung
Wook Choi, the Director of Korindo Mr.
Youngman Kim, General Manager of Korea
Land and Housing Corporation Mr. Hee

National Agency for Administrative
Construction (NACC), an organization
helmed under the Ministry of Defense,
Infrastructure, Transportation of South
Korea, with experience in the relocation
process of South Korea’s state ministries
and institutions from Seoul to Sejong.
That experience is very much needed for
Indonesia.
“During the ASEAN – South Korea Summit
in Busan, South Korea in November 2019,
President Joko Widodo made an offer to
the President of South Korea, Moon Jae-In
so that South Korean business actors can
be involve in the building and relocation
process of the National Capital City.
Technical cooperation between Indonesia
– South Korea through the Ministry of
Public Works and Housing and South

Chamber of Commerce and Industry
(KADIN Indonesia) said that three South
Korean experts who are experienced in the
building of Sejong City have been working
at the Ministry of Public Works and Public
Housing since February 2020. However up
to this point, according to Indonesia- Korea
Network, a number of experts, 29 public
institutions and South Korean companies
that will assist the building and relocation
of the National Capital has not been fully
utilized.
“Therefore, it is necessary to revitalize the
cooperation system so that the Indonesia-
Korea Network can function optimally. So
that it can make it easier for Indonesia to
realize the National Capital that is a smart
city, inclusive city, and sustainable city,”

WEST KOTAWARINGIN – Regent of
West Kotawaringin (Kobar) Nurhidayah
inaugurated a people’s market built on a
land granted by PT Korindo Ariabima Sari
(KABS), a business unit of Korindo Group,
Tuesday (5/10). The inauguration was part
of the 62nd Anniversary Celebration of
Kobar Regency.
The Bulin River Market is a relocation from
Korindo Market, which was located in
front of the KABS company area. The 1.02
hectare (ha) market is located precisely
at RT 11B Mendawai Urban Village, West
Kotawaringin, Central Kalimantan.
A total of six kiosks and more than 80 stalls
were built by the local government in clean
and neat conditions. Until Friday (24/9), all
stalls have been occupied by sellers. Most
of them have even started selling their
goods.
Nurhidayah said that the completion of the
construction of Bulin River Market is one
of the best gifts in Kobar’s journey. “The
Mendawai community has been dreaming
for the Bulin River Market for so long
considering that Korindo Market or the
old market was less than adequate and it’s
time to be repaired,” she explained at the
inauguration ceremony.
The construction of Bulin River Market
is an effort from the local government
in providing a place to shop for basic
needs for the community. In addition,
the existence of this market is expected
to boost the economic recovery of the
community, especially during the COVID-19
pandemic.
Given the potential benefits of Bulin River
Market, Nurhidayah hoped that the whole
community can work together to maintain
its existence.
Kobar Regency Government plans to turn
Bulin River Market into people’s market
with an environmentally friendly approach.
Later, the government will also build a
Green Open Space (RTH) in the area. All
stages of development use the 2020 Kobar
Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget
(APBD).
In addition, the government will build a
pier in the market location not far from the
Arut River. This facility is intended to create
an easier distributionof fish to the market.
In the future, Kobar Regency Government
will build a few additional kiosks and
stalls for sellers who have not been

accommodated. “This is all intended to
build the economy in West Kotawaringin
Regency,” said Nurhidayah.
The involvement of KABS in the
construction of Bulin River Market
began in March 2019. At that time,
KABS granted a land voluntarily to the
Government of Kobar. After going through
the administration process, the local
government immediately began the
development of the people’s market,
which was completed this year.
The General Manager of KABS Rahmat
Effendy said that the grant of land is proof
of the company’s contribution to improve
the economy and ease the lives of the local
community. “Those who work as sellers
can easily sell their goods here. On the
other hand, residents who did not know
where to buy their daily needs can now
come to the Bulin River Market,” he said.
One of the sellers at Bulin River Market,
Solikin, expressed his appreciation to all
parties involved in the development of the
market. According to him, the company
and the regional government have paid
attention to the needs of small sellers.
Solikin hopes that the construction of
Bulin River Market can continue to be
developed. “If possible, I hope there will be
built a meat grinder and meatball machine
so the market can have more visitors,” he
said.
Meanwhile, another merchant, Willy,
has high hopes for the people’s market.
Although there are only a few buyers at
the moment, he believes the condition
will get better in the future. “There will
definitely be a lot of people. Now it’s still
quiet because it’s new, so it’s normal,” he
uttered.
The inauguration event of Bulin River
Market was also attended by the Chairman
of DPRD of Kobar Rusdi Gozali, Chairman
of Commission C of DPRD Irwan Budiannur,
Community Leader HM Ruslan, Community

The 6S method (Sort, Set in order, Shine,
Safety, Standardize, and Sustain) is being
carried out continuously in all locations
of Korindo Group’s business units. This
year, the 6S program in several parts of
Korindo’s business unit is targeted to
achieve level three of sustainability.
As we all know, 6S is the basic tool to
create cleanliness, order, and safety
at workplace. However, most 6S
implementations are ‘seasonal’ and not
being carried out continuously (sustain).
A 6S program can be deemed sustained
if all employees in the company have
made 6S as a work culture. A change of
mindset that 6S is something to do and
not a burden should be embedded in
every employee’s mind. Work habits of
employees at work must also be built in
line with 6S principles.
1. Policy and Commitment from the Top
Management
This effort aims to unite and align a goal
or perspective of an organization toward
the 6S implementation. To maximize its
impact, the company must also create a
work plan, determine the structure of the
organization, the persons in charge, and
the management team of 6S. On the other
hand, 6S policy must be understood by all
employees and serve as the basis while
working.
2. Human Resources Development
Human Resources (HR) is a factor
with great influence to the success in
achieving level three of 6S. Therefore, the
development process must be planned and
realized in a refined manner. 6S human
resource developments that need to be
carried out are as follows:
Training for 6S trainers
Training for 6S auditors
Training for 6S committee
Training for all employees
All the training activities must be reported
to the directors to receive evaluation.
3. Patrol and Evaluation
Once every two months, the 6S Committee
conducts a patrol. This activity aims to
find things that are not in accordance
with the 6S criteria or criteria that require
improvement.
The 6S Committee gives a Red Tag in the
location where the discrepancies found.
All findings must be immediately fixed by
the division or organization related to be
evaluated on the next patrol.
In addition to patrols, each stage of
6S will also be evaluated. This process
is conducted at least twice a year to
determine the division or organization with
the best 6S implementation.
4. Sustainable Improvement and Reports
Every finding of discrepancy must be fixed
by referring to the concept of Plan Do
Check Action (PDCA). Every improvement
result must be reported to the director,
which will be evaluated by the 6S
Committee.
One of the continuous improvement
programs that can be done is Clean Day.
This activity is held once a week.
5. Management Review
This activity is necessary to review all the
changes and improvements that have
been carried out related to 6S. On this
management review, there will also be
evaluation on the conformity between the
plan and the implementation.
This review is conducted once a year and
can be combined with a review on other
management systems.
When everything is done, there will be
a workplace that is clean, organized,
disciplined, and safe. Every employee
will also have awareness on the 6S
implementation in their workplace. That
is where we will see that 6S has become a
work culture.

ethics, and communication in the office,
company regulations, as well as working
attitude in the company can also be found
at the website letslearn.my.id.
Human Resources (HR) Learning Center
Supervisor of the Learning & Innovation
Center (LIC) Department of HR & GA
Support at Korindo Group, Yuki Yusman
mentioned that blended learning is an
innovation to improve the participants’
ability for self-learning. “So they could
learn anywhere and anytime,” he said.
The material presented at NEO varied,
from Korindo Group’s journey to
introduction on the work culture.
Participants were also encouraged to
understand how to communicate well with
everyone, especially in their daily activities
at Korindo Group headquarters.
On the first day, Wednesday, Yuki invited
the virtual NEO participants to get to know
the history of Korindo Group.Through
these materials, a new employee will be
able to know and understand Korindo’s
business journey up to now, which is more
than 50 years old.
Furthermore, on the second day of NEO,
Yuki also delivered material on proper and
effective communication. This material is
expected to help boost the participants’
confidence while communicating both
inside and outside of Korindo Group.
Meanwhile, the Head of LIC, Setiyono
introduced a work culture filled with
discipline, togetherness, and innovation.
Therefore, it is important for Korindo
Group’s new employees to understand the
personalities of their co-workers.
One of the participants of NEO, Mochamad
Fadel said that the online-based training
could ease the new employees in getting to
know Korindo Group, “The new e-learning
system makes it easier for people to
understand the online learning of NEO
Batch #3. Even though there were a few
obstacles, the team handled them swiftly.
This is a new achievement that must be
appreciated,” he said.
Although the e-learning-based blended
learning system is quite efficient,
suggestions and inputs are still needed
for the development of the orientation on
the website letslearn.my.id and the self-
learning method as a handbook for Korindo
Group employees to get to know a number
of important aspects of the company,
including the company’s regulations which
sets out the rights and obligations for each
employee of Korindo Group in order to
create a harmonious family-oriented work
relationship. (pr)

Implementation and Development
of HSEMS in the Company
Korindo Group is committed to applying
the principles of Health, Safety, and
Environment (HSE) in every activity of the
company. Gradually, Korindo also develops
and implements a HSE Management
System or HSEMS that has been set.
HSEMS is an integrated and comprehensive
system that regulates the implementation
of HSE in all company activities, from
upstream to downstream activities.
This management system is established
and outlined in the Regulation of the
Government of the Republic of Indonesia
No. 50 of 2012 on the Implementation
of Occupational Safety and Health
Management Systems.
The implementation of HSEMS is done
through a series of comprehensive
process. The process starts with
workshop of the development of HSEMS,
benchmarking with other companies that
have implemented HSEMS, fulfillment of
competence by general HSE expert and
other HSE experts according to the needs
of the company until the HSE certification
internal auditor obtain a license from
Indonesia’s Ministry of Manpower.
Improvement on employees’ awareness
at each company through HSE-related
training is held periodically. Coaching
on the application of HSE regulations is
in accordance with HSEMS criteria to
the assessment of implementation level
through the mechanism of internal HSEME
cross-audit.
Although constrained by distance due to
the COVID-19 pandemic, the willingness
in meeting all the HSEMS criteria is always
strong.
From September 20, 2021 to March
26, 2021, Internal Audit on HSEMS
implementation was carried out. The
audit was conducted in a professional
manner with a cross-system to maintain
independence and objectivity.
The internal auditors who carried out the
audit are personnel with qualifications
and competence approved by Indonesia’s
Ministry of Manpower. This internal
audit is expected to directly reveal the
implementation of HSEMS in any company.
Lastly, through this process, it is
expected that Korindo’s commitment in
implementing aspects of HSE in all of its
business activities can continue and receive
an official recognition from the Indonesian
Government. (Setiyono)

resources, Indonesia has standards called
the Indonesian National Competency
Standards (SKKNI). SKKNI is the formulation
of work ability that includes aspects of
knowledge, skills, and/or expertise, and
work attitude that are relevant to task
performances and determined position
requirements.
SKKNI is an indicator to determine the
competence of a person in skills and
abilities needed for work. The skills and
abilities certainly must correspond to the
field of work of each individual.
This system was prepared by the
government to optimize the competence
of human resources as early as possible,
so they will have high qualifications.
As an end result, they will be able to
compete positively in the field of work and
profession they will take on.
Korindo Group, through the Learning &
Innovation Center, also set SKKNI as one
of the basis for the development of its
human resources. Started in 2017, Korindo
conducts SKKNI-based training.
The training is held for employees in
plantation, from foremen, plantation
assistants, chief assistants, managers,
and general managers. The training is
conducted in cooperation with Stiper
Agricultural Institute (Instiper) as a
facilitator.
In addition to carrying out SKKNI-
based training, Korindo also develops
Competency Test Places (TUK) in the
same year. The development is carried
out under the support of the Professional
Certification Body (LSP) of the Ministry of
Agriculture.
To date, the development of SKKNI-
based training is also carried out in other
Korindo’s business units. Starting from
the development of training modules
that are based on SKKNI such as palm oil
processing, plywood industry, and paper
industry. In the future, a development of
SKKNI-based trainings for other business
fields will also be held.(Setiyono)
