JAKARTA - CEO of Olahkarsa, Unggul Ananta has been named one of 30 inspirational young figures in the Young Age 30 award event initiated by the Pijar Foundation. He is considered to have shown an extraordinary commitment to creating a positive impact for the community through the initiative of the projects he made.

This award was given after Unggul passed a series of rigorous selections from the jury some time ago. For his hard work so far, Unggul received an award trophy which was handed over directly by the Executive Director of the Pijar Foundation, Ferro Ferizka.

The award ceremony took place at Thamrin Nine Ballroom, Central Jakarta on Saturday, March 9.

Young people 30 is an award event designed to recognize, commemorate, and celebrate 30 inspiring young people who are part of the Young Townhall throughout Indonesia. This award is to encourage appreciation for the spirit and dedication of young people who create meaningful changes in various sectors.

Since 2021, Unggul has pioneered Olahkarsa as a company that end-to-end helps the business sector in carrying out sustainability practices by utilizing the digital platform created. In addition, through innovation and services provided to its partners, it is hoped that it will also be able to contribute to creating a sustainable business ecosystem and contribute to improving the quality of life of the community.

Because he received good responses from his partners, Olahkarsa continues to develop various services and products ranging from research and consulting support, sustainability project assistance, and development of monitoring applications for the company's environmental and social performance.

"Until now, we have partnered more than 100 companies with companies with more than 300 sustainability initiatives. One of the innovations we created was Social Responsibility Application (SR APP), the first application in Indonesia to assist companies in monitoring and managing the company's social performance aspects within the framework of ESG," explained Unggul.

Previously, Unggul had also won the Big Indonesia CSR Star Award from the La Tofi School of CSR in 2023. This award was given after he was considered to have made a tremendous contribution in encouraging innovation in the CSR sector.

On this occasion, Unggul also advised the younger generation to start working and create innovations that have a positive impact on society. According to him, youth is a time when a person has great energy. He advised not to waste such great energy by wasting time on less useful things.

"To the younger generation, start working for no reason. It is wasting time to wait for ideal conditions. Of course, everyone has their own limitations. But starting a step is something we believe is the key to the birth of a work. Because often what makes us reluctant and slow to create a work is our attitude that often waits for what we feel is ideal. Until finally stuck and doesn't go anywhere. And it will only be a waste of time, "said Unggul.

To the younger generation, he also reminded a Javanese saying that he was "Silent, Ing Pamrih, Rame ing Gawe". According to him, although this philosophy sounds classic, his superior values and advice are very relevant in various roles that we live as young people.

"Whether it's an entrepreneur, consultant, or organizational leader, it feels like the spirit to try to give the "best deliverer" unconditionally is important that we need to maintain as a young generation. Focus on doing the best job, then the results will follow," he added.

Unggul also thanked the Pijar Foundation for giving this award. He also hopes that Young Town Hall can be a place for collaboration for young people to work together to build a sustainable future.

"Thank you Pijar Foundation. This award is a trigger for our enthusiasm to continue to carry out sustainability initiatives. We hope that with participation in this Young Townhall, we can further strengthen networks and collaborations so that in the future we will continue to contribute to creating a sustainable future," he concluded.
