November 9, 2024

PT Bekasi Fajar Industrial Estate Tbk (BEST), in collaboration with PT Megalopolis Manunggal Industrial Development (MMID) through the MM2100 Peduli platform, has successfully planted 26,058 mangrove trees in Pantai Bahagia Village, Muara Gembong District, Bekasi, West Java.

The mangrove planting initiative, which began in 2015, has made a significant contribution to the environment, economy, and society.

This activity involved the participation of 39 tenants from the MM2100 Industrial Area, such as Jotun Indonesia, Mayora Indah, and Toyota Boshoku Indonesia, and collaborated with the MM2100 Industrial Area Nature Lovers Forum (FPAKI), Human Resource Coordination and Communication Forum (FKKSM), and the Lion Club MM2100. Collaborating with many parties in this important CSR initiative, this collaboration demonstrates our commitment to environmental sustainability and positive contributions to the local community.

The mangrove planting program aims to enhance coastal protection from erosion and abrasion, while also storing carbon and supporting local biodiversity. Thanks to this ongoing effort, the coastal area is now better protected from the negative impacts of climate change.

"In addition to providing natural protection, the planted mangroves also support the local economy by increasing fishery yields and ecotourism potential. With improved water quality and a healthier ecosystem, the benefits are directly felt by the local community."
