ENHANCING LIVES

For Its People

AND LIVELIHOODS

BUILDING COMMUNITIES AS WE BUILD BUSINESS

Making the planet a little better also means giving back to the communities we operate in, the people we work with, and the associates who team up with us. It’s our way of appreciating and applauding the role they all play in this inspiring journey.

CREATING JOBS

HELPING OPPORTUNITY KNOCK AT EVERY DOOR

Our involvement in the PKS industry has sustained more than 8,000* jobs directly and indirectly through our logistics partners who have signed up to our supplier policies.

  • Every year, our suppliers in Indonesia and Malaysia employ thousands of local people to procure and transport the PKS to our stockpiles
  • At the stockpiles, more locals are engaged in the screening and loading onto ships bound for Japan, Korea, and Singapore
  • An integral part of our Environment, Governance & Sustainability (ESG) initiative is the management of supply chain data, a job done typically by teams of mainly women – this fosters both new job creation in rural areas as well as diversity in the local workforceWHO HAVE SIGNED UP TO OUR SUPPLIER POLICIES

A POSITIVE EFFECT THAT RIPPLES

We also help alleviate the problem of rural poverty by offering jobs in provinces where much of the population is under the poverty line. This, in turn, slows the flow of people migrating to metros like Jakarta, which are already grappling with overcrowding-related issues such as pollution, traffic congestion and urban poverty.

In keeping with our commitment to improving the quality of life, our suppliers are committed to ensure that their direct employees and indirect workers are paid significantly more than the minimum wage in each province.

ENRICHING SKILLS

BECAUSE LEARNING NEVER STOPS

Employment in the PKS industry also serves as a gateway to human capital development – it educates people on proper work safety practices and encourages them to develop their skills for new roles.

We provide all our employees comprehensive and continuous training on equipment handling, operations efficiency, and safety protocols.

We ensure that everyone working at the stockpiles is trained under a mentorship program to understand workplace safety etiquette and guidelines.

Stockpile employees are required to:

– Identify Fire Hazards

– Practice Fire Safety

– Equipment Safety (Routine checks and inspections to ensure that the equipment’s are up to standard)

– Identifying areas of high risk and hazards in the stockpile

– First Aid

Loading Safety

– Strict protocols and guidelines to follow 

BOOSTING BUSINESS

HELPING LOCAL ECONOMIES GROW

Across both Indonesia and Malaysia, our ever-growing business encourages local enterprises in the less developed regions to blossom and flourish. This takes many heartwarming forms: Logistics providers such as truck drivers being able to expand and grow their businesses through the consistent source of income created by this PKS network. Low-wage workers in plantations who have moved up and become truck drivers. And locals working at our stockpiles picking up learning new skills that help them upgrade and offer the confidence to become entrepreneurs.
