JAKARTA - PT Industri Jamu and Pharmacy Sido Muncul Tbk. again won an award from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK). The producer of Tolak Angin was rewarded by KLHK Adi Niti 2024 because it was considered consistent in preserving the environment and biodiversity.

Adi Niti is an award given to business actors, community groups and partners of the Standardization Agency for Environmental and Forestry Instruments (BSILHK) for their performance in the field of environmental and forestry.

Sido Muncul through the Sido Muncul Semarang Agrotourism Conservation is considered successful in implementing the standardization of LHK in the standard absorption business category.

In fact, the largest and most modern herbal medicine producer in Indonesia is considered to have implemented the LHK standards before the stipulation of the standardization.

This award was also handed over directly by the Minister of Environment and Forestry, Siti Nurbaya to the Director of Sido, Muncul Irwan Hidayat in the 2024 Environment and Forestry Standards Week (PESTA) at the Manggala Wanabakti Auditorium, Tuesday, September 10.

Director of Sido Muncul, Irwan Hidayat, expressed his gratitude for the Adi Niti 2024 award in the category of Standard Implementation Business Actors to Sido Muncul.

This award, said Irwan, is a manifestation of Sido Muncul's real commitment to supporting economic sustainability and environmental sustainability.

"Today we are grateful together, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry has standards for environmental regulations, so it will make it easier for all parties, especially entrepreneurs, to follow that standard. From Sido Muncul itself, we actually followed before this standard existed, since 2011. That is one of the things that made us receive the award," said Irwan in his written statement.

Irwan emphasized Sido Muncul's commitment to integrating the principle of sustainability in all operational aspects. Thus, Sido Muncul is not only oriented to profit only but also to environmental sustainability.

"For us, what I said earlier, protecting the environment, following the rules is as important as our business. So that in doing business, we not only benefit but not damage the environment either. Even if we can, we contribute to the environment," said Irwan.

Irwan also positively welcomed the existence of LHK standardization which could serve as a guideline for companies in environmental management. Sido Muncul, said Irwan, will continue the various environmental conservation programs that have been implemented.
