Supporting local communities

Dua Kelinci is a source of pride to the people of Pati. It is the town’s largest employer and has put the small town ‘on the map.’ Community support is important to the company and it seeks to return that support in a number of ways.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program

Company employees enjoy high standards of work place comforts. They are encouraged to come forward with suggestions to improve workplace conditions. A free doctor is provided and a scholarship program allows 100 children to attend school.

All staff members have the opportunity to buy houses through interest-free company loans.

The development of staff is important to the company and opportunities to inspire and upskill are sought. Last year employees participated in motivational seminars and Emotional IQ training.

The Dua Kelinci education program for elementary, junior high and high school students allows for students to spend time at the ‘DK Campus’ where they learn about the factory, peanut and snack food processing and good business practices.  Local leaders and organizations have also been guests at the DK Campus.

Indonesia has had a spate of serious earthquakes in the past decade, many of which occurred in Java. Dua Kelinci has supported victims by sending staff to disaster-affected areas to dispense food and provide medical assistance.

Four times a year the Red Cross sets up a mobile blood donation centre at the Pati factory. Last year 400 staff gave blood to save lives.

Children from local orphanages are invited each year to visit the plant. In 2009 150 children received a tour of the plant and enjoyed entertainment and free products. A donation was also given to the orphanages by Dua Kelinci.
