Integrating Social Inclusion, Food Security, and Alternative Livelihoods for Holistic Community Development

In our pursuit of comprehensive community development, DSN’s efforts go beyond engaging suppliers in the palm oil and wood product sectors. We also recognize the importance of social inclusion, food security, and alternative livelihoods in fostering sustainable growth. By implementing a range of CSR activities, we actively support various projects aimed at enhancing the quality of life for local communities. These projects include initiatives in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and income diversification, ultimately creating a well-rounded foundation for holistic community development.

Since 2022, DSNG has provided business opportunities for local entrepreneurs and business training for the local youth community to meet the needs of the local community and those who support our operations. The Company cooperates with the Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDES) Muara Wahau and Miau Baru in developing business opportunities through the food industry, AC services, and community-based ecotourism.

In 2023, DSNG and Village-Owned Enterprises Uyeng Lahai Miau Baru Village supported 267 farmers and local businesses by purchasing 281 tons of rice, amounting to Rp3.8 billion to supply employees’ food needs. Besides, the Company also provides VillageOwned Enterprises administrators with assistance related to capacity building. Through the involvement of the Local Agriculture Office to give land and improve the capacity building for Good Agricultural Practices, the Company and Village Owned Enterprises plan to expand paddy fields to 300 ha and paddy productivity (yield) from 6 tons/ha to 7 tons/ha by 2024.
