On October 23, 2017, BEST held CSR activities for the Environment, namely by planting mangrove trees. This CSR was implemented through MM2100 Peduli, which is run in synergy between BEST and PT Megalopolis Manunggal Industrial Development (MMID), with tenant participation from the MM2100 Industrial Township to plant around 11,120 mangrove trees in Pantain Bahagia Village, Muara Gembong Regency, Bekasi. This activity wa carried out by the MM2100 Industrial Estate Lovers (FPAKI) and the #Savemugo Muara Gembong Movement.

This Mangrove Tree Planting Movement is a BEST CSR program that has run for 3 consecutive years. We recognize that the mangrove tree planting carried out by BEST is still insufficient to compensate to rate of environmental damage, and therefore it is still necessary to work with various parties concerned with the sustainability of coastal ecosystems in Bekasi and its surroundings, and this program is expected to continue.

This recently implemented Environmental CSR activity, as well as other CSR programs such as education, social and community will be implemented in the future through the MM2100 Peduli organization together with the involvement of tenants and other companies / institutions, in order to deliver better results directly as well as indirectly to those in need.
