Imagine if all companies in Indonesia, from Sabang to Merauke, committed to running their businesses with social responsibility. What would happen? Perhaps, we would see a more sustainable environment, better worker welfare, and a more prosperous society.
However, the reality is that many have not achieved this. Based on a Bappenas survey, although the level of corporate awareness of social responsibility is increasing, only around 30% of companies have truly integrated sustainability principles into their operations. This is where the example of companies like Regal Springs Indonesia becomes a real inspiration.
Environmental Sustainability as a Priority
Imagine: a fisheries company that focuses not only on profit but also on environmental sustainability. Regal Springs Indonesia, through the “KAMI PEDULI” program, shows that business can thrive without sacrificing the ecosystem. They not only cultivate tilapia fish using environmentally friendly methods but also promote a responsible aquaculture industry.
Their methods are designed to minimize negative impacts on natural habitats, while making a real contribution to food security. If more companies in Indonesia took similar steps, our water and land ecosystems would be much better protected.
Worker and Community Welfare
Now, let’s imagine the life of a worker in a company that truly cares about their welfare. At Regal Springs Indonesia, employee welfare is not just a slogan. The company actively holds social activities, such as blood donation and free mass circumcision, involving workers and the surrounding community.
Data from the Ministry of Manpower shows that only 22% of companies in Indonesia routinely run employee and community welfare programs. Compare this to Regal Springs Indonesia, which has received an award as the company with the best CSR from the Serdang Bedagai Regency Government. What would happen if there were more companies like this?
Recognition of International Standards
Regal Springs Indonesia is also proof that social responsibility can go hand in hand with international recognition. With certification from the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) and the British Retail Council Global Standards (BRCGS), the company ensures that its products meet the highest standards, both in terms of quality and sustainability.
Imagine if more Indonesian companies obtained similar certifications. This would not only increase the competitiveness of Indonesian products in the global market, but also build a positive image of Indonesia as a country that cares about sustainability.
The Future We Want
With the real-life example of Regal Springs Indonesia, we can dream of a future where all companies integrate sustainability, well-being, and social responsibility into their operations. A future where the environment remains sustainable, people are more prosperous, and businesses grow sustainably.
So, if you are an entrepreneur, a business leader, or even an employee, start thinking: what can you do to bring about this change? Because, as Regal Springs Indonesia shows, social responsibility is not just about what we give, but also about the positive impact we leave behind.
Let’s create a better Indonesia together!
