To widely promote responsible business practices and CSR across the Korean investors and business community nationwide in Indonesia, the International Labour Organization (ILO) in collaboration with the Embassy of Korean and the Indonesian Employers’ Association (APINDO) is going to organize a half-day Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) forum on Wednesday, 4 July, at the Shangrila Hotel, Jakarta.

The forum will be officially opened by the Minister of Trade, Gita Irwan Wirjawan, the Ambassador of the Republic of Korea for Indonesia, Kim Young Sun, Chair of APINDO, Sofjan Wanandi and Country Director of the ILO in Indonesia, Peter van Rooij.

The forum also marks the joint collaboration between Indonesian and Korean companies through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between APINDO and the Korean Chamber of Commerce (KOCHAM).

The forum brings together more than 100 Korean companies and national business community leaders across Indonesia to further discuss and be more familiar with the guidance provided by global standards compliance and national regulations of Indonesia. The forum also provides a venue for the multinational companies to share experiences on challenges and opportunities faced and to point the way forward in developing sustainable and responsible business practices.
