JAKARTA - The Special Economic Zone (KEK) Industropolis Batang has once again confirmed its position as a pioneer of a sustainable future industrial area. In the prestigious TOP CSR Awards 2026, the Industropolis Batang Special Economic Zone successfully brought home four of the highest awards at once.
This achievement is a recognition of the company's real consistency in integrating the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program and the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into the core of sustainable business strategies.
In the award ceremony, KEK Industropolis Batang successfully brought home the highest title of TOP CSR Awards 2026 Corporate Level STAR 5 as well as a special award, the Golden Trophy. Not only at the corporate level, the visionary leadership in the region also received appreciation through the TOP Leader on CSR Commitment 2026 award for President Director AA Putu Ngurah Wirawan, and TOP CSR Manager 2026 for Head of Corporate Secretary Division M. Burhan Murtaki.
This great success is inseparable from the progressive strategy carried out, namely "Pentahelix Collaboration: Building a Resilient and Sustainable Future". Through this concept, KEK Industropolis Batang integrates the roles of industry, government, and academia tactically to create an inclusive, adaptive, and highly competitive regional ecosystem in the global arena.
Head of the Corporate Secretary Division of KEK Industropolis Batang, M. Burhan Murtaki, explained that the implementation of social responsibility programs has now transformed into measurable social investment. Using the Social Return on Investment (SROI) method, it is recorded that every Rp1 of CSR investment allocated is able to generate a social welfare impact of Rp3.74, with a total value of community benefits reaching more than Rp5 billion.
"The STAR 5 and Golden Trophy awards are the fruit of collective hard work in embodying the Pentahelix concept. For us, collaboration between industry, government, and educational institutions is no longer an option, but rather the key to creating an ecosystem that is resilient to changes in time and is able to respond to future economic challenges in an inclusive manner," said M. Burhan Murtaki, in his statement, Monday, May 25.
As part of a tangible ESG integration, KEK Industropolis Batang also carries out a number of bold and measurable environmental initiatives in the Green Industrial Park area. One of its concrete breakthroughs is the implementation of a firm policy that prohibits the use of groundwater by all tenants. This policy requires the optimal use of surface water and the implementation of an integrated waste management system to maintain long-term conservation of natural resources.
Director of KEK Industropolis Batang, AA Putu Ngurah Wirawan, emphasized that the massive economic growth of the region must be in line with the improvement of the living standards of the local community around it. Through the Sustainable Livelihood Approach (SLA), the focus is directed to strengthening the buffer villages to be economically and socially independent.
"This award is a driving force for us to continue to move forward. KEK Industropolis Batang is fully committed to building a harmonious relationship and growing together with the local community. Through the macro program 'Industropolis Bright' which includes the pillars of education, employment, the economy of MSMEs, health, to the environment, we want to ensure that the local community is the main actor who feels the benefits of the progress of this industry, not just being a spectator," said AA Putu Ngurah Wirawan.
