Something very valuable when we can sprinkle water in the middle of a dry field. This is a metaphor that seems ordinary but has a very high value. In its policy, BOG management has a strong commitment to allocate funds of 2.5 percent of the net profit generated each year. The funds are collected in a separate account to be distributed to orphanages, Islamic boarding schools and boarding schools for those who memorize the Qur'an as well as for other social activities in Kalimantan and other regions of Indonesia. The CSR program that has been carried out previously has not been felt to be large and has not been sufficient to meet the needs of what it should be, but it is the initial step of the big activities that will be carried out by management.
PT. Barokah Oil Group has a big desire that cannot be done yet because it must go through perfect preparation. From the large funds collected in the CSR account, it will be distributed to provide interest-free capital loans to people who have small businesses, prioritized for remote and isolated areas. The mapping of the distribution of funds must be prepared well and on target so that the allocated funds can be optimally utilized. For this reason, BIG management must cooperate with local village officials and apparatus.
To achieve all that we have to start gradually, starting from the eastern region of Indonesia which is still quite far behind the western region. Management must create a special team to manage CSR and that team will be responsible for the success of each program activity implemented. The main focus of the targets that receive working capital assistance from our CSR funds are:
⚫ Farmers
PT. BOG provides interest-free working capital loans to farmers by funding a group of farmers to buy fertilizer and rice seeds or vegetable and fruit seeds and buy equipment for farming.
⚫ Fishermen
Likewise for fishermen, PT.BOG provides interest-free capital loans to buy boats, diesel oil, nets and other necessary equipment.
⚫ Craftsmen and Souvenirs.
Specifically for these craftsmen, in addition to providing interest-free capital loans, PT.BOG also allocates part of the CSR funds for skills development of these craftsmen in collaboration with the Indonesian government.
The recipients of the interest-free capital loan assistance are required to repay the loan in installments so that this program can continue to run and develop to reach many regions in Indonesia. PT.BOG management realizes that this program is not easy to implement, but if it is done with careful planning, it will get maximum results.
