Recently, Sukanto Tanoto through his Tanoto Foundation
in cooperation with PT. Riau Andalan Pulp and
Paper (RAPP) has conducted
campaigns to preserve the environment. The campaign was carried
out around the area of Kuansing. The main
agenda of the activity is to prepare trainers from every school to
socialize the importance of having healthy and environmentally friendly school. The program was held for three days, from Tuesday,
November 4, 2014 to Thursday November 6, 2014
at the Hall of Hotel Kuantan. The
environmental awareness program is receiving pretty good appreciation
from many parties and perceived to be a
positive activity.
Sukanto Tanoto Raising Environmental Awareness
The event, which was in
the form of sharing and discussion, aimed at improving the quality of trainers as
well as enhancing their knowledge about the environment and the right way to treat it. These
trainers are supposed to be the facilitators
and pioneers to promote the
environmental health awareness towards the community where they come from.
Sukanto Tanoto and
RAPP have made some partnerships with the other related parties, such as the
Department of Education, Badan Lingkungan Hidup (The Environment Agency), the
Department of Health, and health centers. Some schools that had received the
Adiwiyata Award and other healthy school awards were also invited to share
their experiences to the 20 representatives from 10 different schools.
These schools are assisted under the
supervision of Tanoto Foundation in Central Kuantan District, Benai, Kuantan
Hilir and Inuman, and Kuantan Senggigi District. The event is expected to be a
part of yearly program held by the RGE Group company in Riau Province. Thus, it
will be a continuous program that will educate more and more people to love the
environment.
Inspiring program for environmental preservation
The activity done by Sukanto Tanoto through his foundation and RAPP has an important
role in inspiring the community to do the same thing for the environment. The
Indonesia’s tycoon is quite well known for his cares to the social welfare as
well to the environmental conservation. Therefore, the campaigns can be a
trigger for the other positive programs from the community. This will then be
expected to give broader influences with more and more people aware of
conserving the environment.
Sukanto Tanoto is quite active in promoting
the environment conservation. This is done not only though campaigns, but also
in his businesses. He has encouraged the use of energy more efficiently and the
creation of alternative energy for his business operation. This reflects his
deep understanding about the relation between environment and business
existence in the future.
