PT Unilever Indonesia, Tbk. together with PT Supra Boga Lestari, Tbk. – which houses Ranch Market, The Gourmet, Farmers Market, Farmers Family, and Day2Day – and SMASH.id officially launched the Smart Dropbox Facilities on January 28, 2022, which are available at 10 Farmers Market outlets to educate and invite as many consumers as possible to become part of a shared solution in implementing a circular economy. Today's launch was also attended by Ujang Solihin Sidik, S.Si., M.Sc., Head of Sub-Directorate of Producer Management, Directorate of Waste Reduction.

In line with the strategy of 'The Unilever Compass', one of the pillars of which is Building a More Sustainable Planet, Unilever believes that plastic waste has its own place in the economic chain, but not in our environment. Globally, by 2025 Unilever has targets to: (1) Halve the use of new plastics; (2) Designing 100% of our product plastic packaging to be recyclable, reusable or biodegradable; (3) Help collect and process more plastic packaging than is sold; and (4) Increase the use of recycled plastic content (PCR) in our packaging by at least 25%.

To achieve this, Unilever consistently carry out various efforts from upstream to downstream, including collaboration with PT Supra Boga Lestari, Tbk, and SMASH.id to bring digital-based innovations in the plastic waste collection process. This collaboration is based on the shared goal in promoting education about the importance of sorting waste to the consumers. Through the Smart Drop Box which was co-developed, Unilever wants to help consumers, the #GenerasiPilahPlastik, to better manage their waste.

In an effort to support the acceleration of stunting prevalence in Indonesia, PT Nestlé Indonesia is collaborating with the National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN) in launching a stunting reduction program for communities in West Java, Central Java, East Java, and Lampung which will start in 2022. The launch of this program was marked by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding on Efforts to Accelerate Stunting Reduction on December 14th 2021 at the BKKBN head office. The signing was attended by the Head of BKKBN dr. Hasto Wardoyo, Sp.OG (K) and President Director of PT Nestlé Indonesia Ganesan Ampalavanar.

Along with the MoU, Nestle also launched the program of Nestlé Dukung Anak Lebih Sehat (Nestle for Healthier Kids Program) to Contribute to improve the sustainable nutritional status of Indonesian families. The program is committed to helping Indonesian children live healthier lives by providing nutrition education and growth and development to parents and individuals around their children. Therefore, Nestlé welcomes the collaboration with the BKKBN in efforts to reduce stunting through the signing of this mutual understanding. This collaboration will include efforts to provide education and socialization to the community in the agreed locations in the form of nutrition education, growth and development and food fortification. In addition, this program also includes activities to increase the capacity and basic competence of Human Resources (HR) related to nutrition and child development, to help improve the quality of life and welfare of children through mentoring activities.
