PT Mowilex Indonesia was nominated and won in the following categories: Top CSR Awards 2020 #Star 4, Top Leader on CSR Commitment 2020, and TOP CSR Awards 2020 – Program Perlindungan Lingkungan (Environment Protection Program).

Lutfi Handayani, to Chief Marketing Officer of PT Mowilex Indonesia, Anna Yesito Wibowo, on Wednesday, July 29th , 2020, at the Sultan Hotel & Residence, Jakarta.
"The TOP CSR Awards 2020 was attended by over 200 companies with the best CSR programs in Indonesia and of those 100 will receive awards. While other CSR awards have a narrow focus, which is the implementation of ISO 26000, especially its environmental aspect. Meanwhile, the TOP CSR Awards 2020 has a broader focus. Not only is the fulfillment of ISO 26000 and the environmental aspect, but we also look at the GCG (Good Corporate Governance) aspect, but also the harmony between the company's CSR program with the company's strategy as well as the company's business competitiveness," said M. Lutfi Handayani in his opening remarks.
"For us, CSR is an initiative of sustainability. We want to make a better world with our commitment to implement our three sustainability pillars: Kurangi (Reduce), Hindari (Avoid), Imbangi (Offset), and community development that we expect would bring added value to people," said Anna Yesito Wibowo, Chief Marketing Officer of PT Mowilex Indonesia.
