CSR Programs
We strive to improve the welfare of the communities where we operate through continuous contribution to developments in education, healthcare, and economic infrastructure.
PT. BIA operates in a rural area where poverty is prevalent. Every day, we work to ensure that our operations generate positive impacts for the communities through the creation of job and the development of infrastructure. More importantly, we seek to directly contribute to their welfare and well-being through our CSR programs.
Our CSR programs are focused on three areas of development, which are education, healthcare, and economic infrastructure.
PT BIA implements a conservation incentive program aimed at improving the welfare of local communities through cultural, economic, health, and educational approaches. We place professional village facilitators full-time in each village to assist the community, provide technical training, and encourage their involvement in the planning and implementation of the programs. The program includes initiatives for alternative livelihoods and market access, health programs and stunting prevention, as well as efforts to improve literacy.
Currently, the program has involved 4 villages (Kindiki, Selil, Muting, and Pachas), with active participation from 65 households in economic activities. In the health sector, the program has successfully reduced the number of stunted children from 22 to just 3. Additionally, children’s literacy skills have improved, with reading skills increasing by 22%, writing skills by 25%, and arithmetic skills by 22%.
