The award is a recognition for Intiland’s effort and commitment realized in the company’s pro-active contribution to the environment and the citizens of Jakarta. “The programs we design and execute are just the small things we can do to help the city. We at Intiland believe that positive contribution to the people will directly lead to a synergy with the company’s growth in the future. There is no such a thing as bad investment if it is for the development and progress of the community,” he explained.
Through Intiland Foundation, the company has since last year conducted several CSR activities with its Intiland Teduh program. With this program, the company allocates some of its net profit to provide homes for those in need or to construct community facilities.
