CSR is a corporate responsibility, due to counter the impact of the community’s and environment policies and activities through a transparent and ethical behavior; consistent in sustaining the development and community’s welfare; obey the law; consistent to the international norms and integrated with the organization’s process.

The CSR Concept of PT Indominco Mandiri (IMM) relates to the company value, which is the 3P: Profit, People, and Planet. In this case, the Profit stands for the value of a community empowerment, where the community has to accept the positive effects (benefits) from the company’s activities. People is about where the community gets their education and owned their own specialties to develop SDA (natural resources) and the benefit value of the company’s CSR program. Planet is about the earth environment, our place to stand, to live, so it must be managed properly. These three aspects must be integrated in the CSR process so the sustainable development could be achieved.

Since 2002, the Ministry of Environment has launched the Performance Rating in Environmental Management (PROPER) as an instrument setup base by the UU law No. 32 year 2009 about the environmental conservation & management. The CD/CSR contribution in achieving the GREEN PROPER has become the main target that needs to be achieved. One of the criteria in judging the GREEN PROPER is to do the right and responsible social (CD/CSR) effort.

The measures that have been, are, and will be carried out are:

1. The CD policy in allocating their budget.2. CD structure and responsibilities.3. Yearly action plan, RENSTRA in every 5 years until the mine closure.4. Evaluation and reports.5. Implementing the programs from the CCC meeting.

We hope that by maximum synergy and collaboration, in implementing and developing the CD-CSR, we will achieve the GREEN PROPER and also the community’s independence.

Green Regards

management also presents a study of local wisdom. In the implementation of this local content learning process, IMM is working together with PKBM Malahing through a program called COMDEV to perform a cooperative agreement in giving the social aspect a priority called the CSR. In addition, there is a local life skill training program implemented by the IMM Mitra PKBM Malahing. All of this is written in a book about how a manager also a member of PKBM could reflect their creativity in utilizing mangrove peeling for home industry products. The planned learning process and the one started to be implemented is training for journalist. This journalist training will be introduced to the community through a learning program A, program B, and program C about journalistic. IMM Mitra PKBM Malahing made a wall magazine at PKBM, called The Wall Magazine of Mitra Malahing Community Children (KAMI). IMM is more focus on the development of non formal and informal education, so the quality its graduates have the same level as the formal school graduates. For next steps, the tutor and management have to be more creative and innovative in developing the process so it would allure the participant’s interests and skills.

The Community Education process is a must for all the citizens living in the city,

country, and even for those who live in the coastal area, everyone deserve a proper education as written in the UUD (Law). The road and process to education program which become the pioneer of PT Indominco Mandiri (IMM) has been implemented in integrated phase with the involvement from CSR IMM partnering with PKBM Malahing as an effort in changing the paradigm of the community especially those who live in the coastal and country area, so they would have better social, economy, and culture condition beneficial with the community development program. As the foundation of community development together with the main locomotives; The Community Educational Directorate, Non formal and Informal Educational General, The National Education Ministry in supporting the program, has managed to do revitalization and increasing the institutional capacity of the community education program providers, especially through the Community Learning

Center (CLC) institutional quality improvement programs, also a number of partnership development program between IMM, private sector, and the community. PKBM is the community learning activity; manage to empower the community’s potential in developing their social, economy, and culture.The main purpose of PKBM is to expand the community’s opportunities, especially the needed, in increasing their knowledge, skill, and their mentality needed to develop their innerself. In an effort to make the same perception and harmonizing the PKBM, with PKBM basic idea as the center activity of education outside the school, PKBM grows and develops based on the community’s interests and capabilities, and so the CLC needs to be developed into a new form just like the ones implemented in Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore.But the main challenge in the learning and teaching process in non formal education is the participant’s discipline in the learning process. Because of that, the management and tutor have to have innovation in teaching the participants. Besides creating innovation, the management and tutor also need to spread the importance of education in their life. One of the efforts to prevent boring learning phase, besides performing social activity such as training and creativity, the

hopes from the Education Department represented by Juhariah related with the participant’s member from outside the TCM ring I, so they could reach out to the Mahakam upstream, because there are still many young people who does not have the right kind of skill to work in a company operating in their surround village area. This TCM and UT program has proven that it is able to create reliable workers for companies available; either it’s the mining company, farms, wooden industry using heavy equipment, especially in mechanic forces. This program also proved that in each of TCM operational location there are local forces who needs to be trained so they could become a reliable and trusted heavy equipment workers, so the company would not have to deliver any workers from outside the West Kutai Regency. Thanks to good cooperation and well support by the government of West Kutai Regency, we closed the show with a group photo from all parties. Final words, a good program if it were really done honestly could mean a lot also useful for every person who is willing to try to develop themselves for their better future.

Through the CD program, the company has become one of the promotional agents of local cultural heritage. Local arts can be one of the “selling points” of an area if it can be preserved. With the right kind of mentoring and training also using the appropriate promotional media, surely the cultural heritage of Dayak, either it is Gantar Dance, Belian Dance and also Rijoq will not fade in time.

Meanwhile the parents are searching and gathering durian as many as they can to ease up the gatherer as soon as they come buying all of their durian, they would take it all to Barong Tongkok, West Kutai Regency.
