Re.juve Commemorates World Cancer Day with Community Fun Run and New Store Opening in Yogyakarta

Yogyakarta, 4 February 2023 – In commemoration of World Cancer Day 2023, Re.juve held a community fun run in collaboration with Indo Runners Yogyakarta under the theme “Standing Together to #LiveHappier.” The event also marked the opening of Re.juve’s second store in Yogyakarta, located at Plaza Ambarrukmo.

“After receiving a very positive response at the opening of our first outlet at Pakuwon Mall Yogyakarta in December 2022, we are excited to begin 2023 by opening our 86th store nationwide at Plaza Ambarrukmo. This expansion reflects our commitment to making Re.juve products more accessible, helping more people live happier and healthier lives through honest, healthy, and delicious food and beverages. Commemorating World Cancer Day with this initiative is the right moment for us to make a meaningful contribution to the people of Yogyakarta,” said Richard Anthony, CEO & President Director of Re.juve.

The World Cancer Day campaign serves as a global reminder of the importance of maintaining health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, with an estimated 20 million new cases and 10 million deaths in 2021.

Representing the local running community, Robertus Indra, Chairman of Indo Runners Yogyakarta, highlighted the impact of the collaboration:

“We are delighted to partner with Re.juve for this fun run. This activity is a breakthrough to raise public awareness about making wiser food and beverage choices. For those of us who are active, Re.juve provides practical and nutritious solutions that support both our hobbies and our health.”

To complement the fun run, Re.juve also hosted a health talk titled “Standing Together to #LiveHappier” with dr. Noviani, SpGK (clinical nutrition specialist) and Richard Anthony. The session discussed the role of nutrition in reducing cancer risk.

“Fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and beta-carotene. Research shows that regular consumption helps lower cancer risk, as phytochemicals protect cells from harmful compounds and prevent damage or mutations,” explained dr. Noviani.

Closing the event, Richard Anthony reaffirmed Re.juve’s mission:

“Through this activity and our store expansion in Yogyakarta, we hope more people become aware and wiser in choosing nutritious food and beverages to prevent diseases such as cancer. We are committed to continuing similar initiatives in Yogyakarta and other cities across Indonesia, encouraging a balanced lifestyle through healthy eating and active living.”

Sunpride Strengthens Commitment to Reducing Food Waste and Building a Sustainable Fresh Fruit Ecosystem

Jakarta, December 22, 2022 – The National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) reported in 2021 that Indonesia produces 115 to 184 kilograms of food waste per capita each year over the past two decades. Fruits and vegetables are the most wasted commodities in the food chain, with nearly half lost before reaching consumers across the Asia-Pacific region.

This issue has a major economic impact. According to Bappenas, losses from food waste cost Indonesia between IDR 213 trillion to IDR 551 trillion annually, or about 4–5% of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This reality is a serious concern for Cindyanto Kristian, CEO of Fresh Fruit & GTM at Sunpride, who highlighted the problem during Sunpride’s 27th anniversary celebration at Pakubuwono Hotel, Jakarta.

“Indonesia still faces a huge challenge with food waste, especially fruit. Often, after harvest, fruit is not sold even though the quality is good. Through Sunpride, we want to create a fresh fruit ecosystem that helps maximize farmers’ production while reducing waste,” said Cindy.

To address this, Sunpride is developing a comprehensive fresh fruit ecosystem that focuses on:

  • Reducing food waste by optimizing fruit production and post-harvest handling.

  • Ensuring quality so harvested fruits reach consumers in the best condition.

  • Supporting a circular economy, where every part of the production process is utilized to minimize waste.

Cindy added, “From one banana tree, we cannot consume everything it produces. The question is, how can we make all parts useful so nothing is wasted? That is part of our circular economy commitment.”

Sunpride is also strengthening its partnerships with local farmers, offering solutions such as proper capacity planning, optimized harvest timing, and improved packaging and transportation methods.

In addition, Sunpride is implementing blockchain-based traceability technology for selected flagship products. This innovation allows the company to monitor fruit quality at every stage—from farmer to retail—ensuring transparency and freshness for consumers.

Jane Fransisca, CEO of Farmers Empowerment & Partnership at Sunpride, emphasized the collaborative approach:

“We have three forms of collaboration to empower local farmers and build a stronger fresh fruit ecosystem in Indonesia. Through these partnerships, we aim not only to support farmers’ livelihoods but also to contribute to the national economy.”

Through these initiatives, Sunpride reaffirms its mission to empower farmers, reduce food waste, and provide safe, high-quality fruits to Indonesian consumers, while contributing to a sustainable circular economy.
