Bank DKI Receives Award for Positive Impact CSR Program

AEINews – Bank DKI has once again demonstrated its commitment to corporate social responsibility by receiving a special award in the financial and investment sector from IDX Channel. This award was presented at the IDX Channel ESG Awards 2024, themed 'Optimizing ESG To Drive Value Creation,' highlighting Bank DKI's significant contribution to the implementation of impactful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs.

The award was achieved thanks to Bank DKI's consistent execution of its flagship program, Jakarta Koperasi Hidroponik (Jakonik). This program, operational since 2014, exemplifies Bank DKI's commitment to supporting sustainable development goals (SDGs), particularly goals 1 (ending poverty in all its forms), 2 (zero hunger), and 15 (sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems).

Agus H. Widodo, President Director of Bank DKI, stated that as a business entity, Bank DKI not only focuses on profit but also plays a role as a facilitator of economic growth and equity in Jakarta. "The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs implemented at Bank DKI emphasize strengthening local communities and enhancing the quality of life for residents," Agus said.

Jakonik, Bank DKI's flagship CSR program, engages the local community in developing hydroponic gardens based on community empowerment. By involving local communities, this program not only provides a sustainable food source but also opens new economic opportunities for Jakarta’s residents.

Through Jakonik, Bank DKI helps address issues of poverty and hunger while contributing to the conservation of terrestrial ecosystems. The hydroponic gardens developed under this program yield efficient and environmentally friendly agricultural results, thereby improving community welfare without harming the surrounding environment.

With this award, Bank DKI further strengthens its position as a financial institution committed to social and environmental welfare. Moving forward, Bank DKI is committed to continuing to develop innovative and impactful CSR initiatives for the broader community, particularly in Jakarta.

The recognition of Bank DKI’s CSR program through this award not only demonstrates the company's dedication to social responsibility but also serves as an inspiration for other companies to contribute to creating added value for society and the environment.
