“Concern for Early Childhood Education”

The company’s concern for its surrounding environment is one of the obligations that every company in Indonesia must fulfill. In Indonesia, the concern for the surrounding environment is referred to as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). According to Law No. 40 of 2007 on Limited Liability Companies, CSR is the commitment of a company to participate in sustainable economic development to improve the quality of life and the environment, benefiting the company itself, the local community, and society in general.

One of the social concerns of PT. Astom Indonesia for its surrounding environment is the importance of early childhood education for children in the Sukaresmi Village area. Early childhood education is a form of educational implementation that emphasizes laying the foundation for physical growth and development (fine and gross motor coordination), intelligence (thinking ability, creativity, emotional intelligence, spiritual intelligence), socio-emotional (attitudes, behaviors, and religion), language and communication, in accordance with the uniqueness and stages of development experienced by young children (Adalilla, S, 2010).

As a form of application of this concern, PT. Astom Indonesia, together with the Pertiwi Foundation in Sukaresmi Village, has assisted in providing facilities and equipment for the Kober Tunas Mekar XIII early childhood education center in Pegaulan Village, Sukaresmi, to enable its operation. The local community, especially parents in Pegaulan Village, feels greatly helped by this initiative, as it contributes to the development of their children’s education in the village.

Concern for the surrounding environment and others is not only carried out as an obligation based on regulations but also driven by the desire to make the environment and society better. Therefore, PT. Astom Indonesia’s management always encourages all its employees to have a sense of concern and to apply it, even with small actions, which can still be useful for the environment and others.
