Indonesian Gas Company Boosts Environmental and Social Care in Sleman

PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN), a subsidiary of Pertamina, is actively promoting environmental and social responsibility in Sleman, Indonesia, through its "Suadesa Peduli Lingkungan" Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program. The initiative, held at Taman Budaya Lohjinawi, involved planting hundreds of tree saplings and offering affordable basic necessities to the community.

The tree planting event took place in Sinduharjo village, engaging local residents, teachers, and students from Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri (MIN) 2 Sleman. Edy Wibowo, the Camat (sub-district head) of Ngaglik, lauded PGN's efforts, expressing hope for continued collaboration between the company, government, and community. He highlighted Ngaglik's potential for development, citing its population of approximately 107,000 and its strategic location in educational, economic, and tourism hubs.

We hope this activity does not stop as the first activity, but can continue so that its benefits are felt more broadly by the community.

Krisdyan Widagdo Adhi, Division Head of CSR at PGN, stated that "Suadesa Peduli" is part of PGN's commitment to building partnerships for sustainable regional development. PGN aims to be a partner not only through social and environmental programs but also by supporting the economic potential of the Ngaglik and Sinduharjo areas, including micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), culinary arts, and tourism.

PGN wants to be a partner for the government and the community, not only through social and environmental programs but also by encouraging economic potential, MSMEs, culinary, and tourism in the Ngaglik and Sinduharjo areas.

PGN's environmental efforts extend beyond simple greening; they aim to create productive green spaces. Fruit trees such as mango, longan, and rambutan were planted, intended to provide economic benefits and support agro-tourism development. In addition to environmental initiatives, PGN offered subsidized essential goods packages, containing 5 kilograms of rice, sugar, cooking oil, coffee, milk, and tea, for Rp50,000. The proceeds from this sale are designated to aid earthquake victims in Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT), embodying the spirit of mutual cooperation.

Krisdyan emphasized that the "Suadesa Festival," of which this event is a part, aims to celebrate community potential while providing tangible benefits to those in need. The festival, culminating on August 22-23, 2026, seeks to unite the community through shared efforts, including support for disaster-affected populations.

“

We want the Suadesa Festival to not only be a space to celebrate the potential of the community but also to provide benefits for those in need. This spirit of gotong royong (mutual cooperation) is also realized through our support for disaster-affected communities in NTT.
