With the theme: Social Responsibility to Accelerate Stronger Recover, BISRA 2022 gives appreciation to companies that are committed to contributing to vulnerable communities and low-income communities (Masyarakat Berpenghasilan Rendah=MBR), especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.
President Commissioner of Bisnis Indonesia Group, Hariyadi Budi Santoso Sukamdani, said that CSR is an important program that is mandated in Law No. 40/2007 concerning the responsibility of limited liability companies in implementing CSR programs. According to Hariyadi, CSR programs have proven to have a positive impact on economic and environmental improvements. Currently, only Indonesia and India have made CSR a mandatory program that companies must implement. “This becomes our reason to help strengthen the implementation of CSR programs through the 2022 BISRA award,” said Hariyadi at the opening of the 2022 BISRA Award event in Jakarta, Wednesday (29/6/2022).
Meanwhile, Susanto Samsudin, National Director of Habitat for Humanity Indonesia who is also one of the judges for BISRA 2022, said that the number of registered institutions is growing. This is reflected in the increase in participants which is 34% higher compared to last year. “This shows that the CSR program is getting attention as well as becomes commitment for companies doing business in the country,” he said.
