Monday (11/11), PT Great Giant Pineapple (PT GGP) successfully implemented the first Capacity Building regarding ESG (Environment, Social Governance) for company suppliers online. ESG is an important concept used to assess company performance in implementing sustainable business and good business ethics.

PT GGP has implemented sustainable business governance for a long time. In 2023, through its umbrella brand, Great Giant Foods, the company will begin launching pillars of ESG implementation, which include “Climate Resilience,” “Regenerative Agriculture,” “Circular Economy,” and “Growing with Community.” The implementation of ESG in companies cannot be separated from the supply chain, which plays an important role in achieving sustainability goals.

This Capacity Building event is the first initiative from PT Great Giant Pineapple to provide an in-depth understanding of ESG. This is also part of efforts to implement a Responsible Supply Chain, ensuring that all goods and services used by the company are produced through ethical and sustainable business processes. Participants in this event came from various suppliers throughout Indonesia.

The event was opened by Mr. Julius Sugarjanto, PJ Sustainability SUV Division Head PT Great Giant Pineapple. In his speech, Julius said that “This capacity building is expected to be a significant first step to strengthen our shared commitment to implementing sustainable and responsible business practices.”

Apart from being opened by management representatives, this event also invited an expert in the field of “Climate Resilience,” Mr. Arrohman, who is an environmental expert. In his presentation, he conveyed various matters related to ESG implementation, including greenhouse gas mapping and relevant mitigation strategies.

With this event, PT Great Giant Pineapple is committed to continuing to maintain and improve sustainable practices in its operations, as well as inviting all suppliers to work together to create a responsible and sustainable supply chain. PT GGP hopes that this collaboration can have a positive impact on the environment and surrounding communities.
