As an organization that
grows along with its surrounding community, Astragraphia’s existence is inseparable
from the support of the community. In its endeavor to be responsible corporate citizen,
awareness activities for the community have been implemented since Astragraphia started
the Xerox business in Indonesia.
During 2005, Astragraphia has been fortunate to have had the opportunity to partake in a
number of Corporate Social Responsibility activities, comprising social, environmental and
economy fields. Following are a number of important activities that have colored the
Company’s journey in 2005
Blood Donation
The blood donation program has been implemented since 1979, cooperating with Indonesia Red
Cross (PMI) DKI Jakarta. The program implements every three months. In 2005, records
indicate that 82 Astragraphia employees from Head Office donated blood on March 2, June 2,
September 15 and December 12, 2005
Financial Aid For Surrounding Community
Astragraphia, as an integral part of the surrounding community in the vicinity of its
office, has provided appropriate financial contributions for surrounding community
activities. These funds were to cover activities organized by the District, and Sub
District, Youth Organizations, Religious Organization and the local security authorities.
In additional to the provision of financial aid, every Idul Adha the Company donates
sacrificial animals to the surrounding community; while at Idul Fitri and Christmas, the
employee are all directly involved in a voluntary drive to hand out and distribute
material donations to those in need.
Export Of Used CRU To Thailand
As an effort to reduce industrial waste, Astragraphia collects Consumable Replaceable
Units or CRU from Customers and exports them to Fuji Xerox Eco Manufacturing Thailand for
recycling. Implemented in 2004, this RCU recycling program is part of the activities of
Eco Manufacturing Program of Fuji Xerox Co. Ltd. , Japan. Records indicate that in 2005
totaling 35.900 used CRU units have been exportes in the whole year.
Green Product & Green Purchasing
There is no question that as a company genuinely concerned for the environment,
Astragraphia ensures that the products it purchases and sells are safe for the community
and the environment, and free from toxic and hazardous material. This is in line with Fuji
Xerox environmental program. All products manufactured by Fuji Xerox are stringently
tested for safety and environmental friendliness. One actual sample of an environmentally
friendly product manufactured by Fuji Xerox and also marketed by Astragraphia is the solid
ink for certain laser printers, which is manufactured from soybean residue.
Astragraphia has implemented the Green Purchasing Program for internal Company purpose
when purchasing office supplies, as well as other supporting operational office supplies,
as well as other supporting operational equipment. Thus, when purchasing goods, priority
is on environmentally friendly goods in their manufacturing process, the raw material as
well as their operational aspect.
Two certification institutions, namely Japan Audit and Certification Organization for
Environment and Quality (IACO) and PT Sucofindo, certify all environmental related
activities. In 2003, Astragraphia was awarded the ISO 14001:1996 certificate, which has
been renewed with the latest version, namely the ISO 14001:2004 in December 2005.
Green Company
Astragraphia actively participates in a program organized by Astra International in
relation to the Environment, Health, & Safety. Introduced over the past few years the
program evaluates the “Green Company” philosophy implemented by Astra’s
subsidiaries, comprising green strategy, green process, green product and green employee.
FXAP-AG Foundation Activities
For environmentally related activities, Astragraphia in conjuction with Fuji Xerox
Asia-Pacific established the Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific- Astra Graphia Foundation (FXAP-AG
Foundation) over ten years ago. Activities include extending scholarships, organizing
environmental seminars and providing funds for environmental preservations to various
institutions.
The feasibility of FXAP-AG Foundation participating in the Tree Bank Program by the
Ministry of the Environment was still in progress towards the end of 2005. this program is
intended to reduce the critical land around the forestry areas. FXAP-AG Foundation has
selected to plant coffee and ‘surren’ trees because both are known not only to
be capable of improving the quality of critical land, but also generate extra income for
the community that will be nurturing these plants eventually.
Other activities still in the discourse stage in December 2005 were plans to inject funds
for research purposes for a Magister Institut Pertanian Bogor student’s program, who
are either in the process of, or about to conduct studies related to the encironment.
Both program are scheduled to be realized in February 2006.
