Great Giant Foods is one of the five big companies that received an award in the 2022 Tempo Circular Economy Award. For the initiation of the Circular Food Estate and Waste to Energy programs, GGF won 2 awards. As the Head of Sustainability, Arief Fatullah, was present to receive the award.

The Tempo Circular Economy Award 2022 is an event to give awards to companies that apply circular economy principles in their business activities. Indonesia is currently carrying out a circular economy development that focuses on several sectors as an effort to help save the environment, reduce waste, and efficiency of existing resources.

This award was held for the first time at the end of 2022. However, Director of Tempo Media Group, Arif Zulkifli said that this program would continue to be carried out in the following years.

“We will develop the Tempo Circular Economy Award for the following years. In the future there will be other categories from different industries. Tempo will also run a circular economy from time to time,” said Arif Zulklifi when giving a speech at the 2022 Tempo Circular Economy Award at the Tempo Building, Tuesday, December 20, 2022.

The main purpose of this award is to give appreciation to those who have taken valuable initiatives in implementing practices that are in line with the circular economy.

This award is important because the initiators who play a role in the circular economy appear in the midst of the majority of industries or organizations that still carry out their business activities in a linear manner.

Obtaining this award is of course the best cooperation and support from all PT GGP employees who have helped provide data and reports to fill out surveys from BPS.

“This survey aims to obtain reliable and timely statistical data for information development planning around the manufacturing industry sector,” said Retno.

“PT GGP is of course grateful because BPS has appreciated what it has done regarding data presentation,” Suharto said.
Suharto said, preparing data was not a simple matter, having to coordinate with departments regarding the requested data, if the moment was not right, miscommunication could occur, especially with regard to important data.

“Of course thanks also to friends in the relevant departments because they can understand what statistical data needs to be presented. And so far the department has been smooth in providing support for these data, “he said.

PT GGP often gets awards every year from BPS, both from the district, province and national levels. PT GGP is a responsive company, if there is a request for data from BPS the response is good then it is timely in providing survey data, concludes Suharto

The Central Lampung Regency Government has obtained an operational permit from the Lampung Health Office for the use of automatic realtime PCR machines. This was revealed by the Head of the Lamteng Health Office, dr. Othniel Sriwidiatmoko.

“The permit to use the PCR machine has been issued. So it has started to be used,” he said. However, said Otniel, this initial stage is still being tested first. “But it’s still testing first. After everything is ready, we will tell you later,” he said.

The PCR was handed over to the Senior Manager Legal and Corporate Affairs of PT GGP Hendri Tanujaya and Senior Manager of Sustainability PT GGP Arif Fatullah to the Deputy Regent of Central Lampung Ardito Wijaya at the Demang Se Island Raya Hospital.

This PCR tool is eagerly awaited by the public to check the Covid-19 swab sample which was previously sent to the Lab. Lampung province. Arif Fatullah representing PT GGP hopes that this CSR assistance can help the Central Lampung Regency Government-run smoothly in the health sector. “With this tool, it can increase time efficiency in examining Covid-19 samples. Previously it took a long time to be fast and precise,” he said.

Ardito Wijaya thanked PT GGP for trusting him to provide a set of PCR equipment to be used at the Demang Se Island Raya Hospital. This tool will certainly be useful for the wider community.

“With this tool, I hope that the leaders of private hospitals in Central Lampung do not need to send the results of the PCR examination to the Lampung Provincial Lab. Enough at the Demang Se Island Raya Hospital. Besides being close, the inspection time only takes 1-2 days,” he said.
