Chandra Asri Group collaborates with 23 culinary MSMEs from Ciwandan District, Cilegon City, and Anyar District, Serang Regency, Banten to open stalls within the petrochemical plant during the scheduled plant maintenance period, known as Turn Around Maintenance (TAM), to provide food for the workers. The hygiene of the food and drinks sold is monitored by the Safety Health and Environment (SHE) Team and Chandra Asri Group Clinic Doctors. This initiative was carried out by the Chandra Asri Group as a form of contribution to improving the welfare of the surrounding community and supporting MSMEs as one of the foundational pillars of the Indonesian economy.
The MSMEs involved reported a significant increase in income and succeeded in establishing wider relationships through interactions between business actors. Henny, from Kp. Pangabuan, Kel. Gunung Sugih, which is one of the MSMEs, said that its daily income had increased by 250% from usual. The involvement of MSMEs is the Company's effort to participate in improving the economic level of local communities by involving culinary business actors.
