Jakarta, December 21, 2015 – Today (21/12), PT Shell Indonesia officially kicks off its residential environment quality improvement program, which takes form as the development of “Desa BERSEMI” (Clean, Healthy, Independent Village) in Segaramakmur Village and Pantai Makmur Village, both of which are located in Tarumajaya, Marunda, Bekasi. The program aims to increase community awareness and initiative in realizing a clean, healthy, environmentally friendly, and productive residential area.

The launching of Desa BERSEMI program is symbolized by the signing of a ‘Joint Initiative Charter’ by Lubricants Supply Chain (LSC) Manager of Shell Indonesia-Alex Marpaung, General Manager of Industrial & Warehousing Area of Marunda Center-Agus Susanto Mulyono, and Head of Tarumajaya Sub-district, Bekasi-Dwy Sigit Andrian, and subsequently followed by a ceremonial handover of gardening tools to the representative cadres from Pantai Makmur Village and Segaramakmur Village.

“The Desa BERSEMI program is a testament to Shell’s commitment to supporting any attempt of community development within our operational area, including in the surrounding area of our Shell Lubs Oil Blending Plant (LOBP) in Marunda. We hope this kind of program, which cultivates community potentials and initiatives, will encourage more active participation from the community. Our initial target is to train 100 cadres from the two villages to act as the catalyst that has the capacity and capability to build and develop Waste Bank, Compost (fertilizer), Creative Industries based on the 3R’s Principle, and Urban farming ,” said Alex. These cadres are then expected to help with the program dissemination to the wider community.

Meanwhile, Head of Tarumajaya Sub-district-Dwy Sigit Andrian said, ”We’re delighted to have the BERSEMI program conducted here by PT Shell Indonesia in cooperation with Pusdakota Universitas Surabaya and Marunda Center in Pantai Makmur and Segaramakmur Villages. This is a testament to the commitment of business actors to be actively involved in community development in Bekasi. In addition, the BERSEMI program is a concrete example of how the companies in Bekasi realize their commitment to being directly involved in waste management by engaging the community. We hope what Shell does could be replicated by other companies in Bekasi, as these activities are in aligment with District Head-Hj. Neneng Hasanah Yasin’s program to further achieve the BERSINAR (Clean, Safe Innovative, and Religious) concept for Bekasi.”

Agus Susanto Mulyono, General Manager of Industrial & Warehousing Area of Marunda Center and executive partner of the program, added, “The Desa BERSEMI Program in the two villages in Tarumajaya Sub-district, Bekasi is expected to be a positive influence and benefit the environmental, social and economic aspects of the community, particularly for the local community surrounding the Industrial & Warehousing Area of Marunda Center.”
