Multi Bintang Indonesia Sabet 4 Penghargaan Sekaligus di Sustainable Business Awards 2020/2021

Acara Penyerahan Sustainable Business Award 2020_2021 kepada Multi Bintang Indonesia

Jakarta, 6 Juni 2022 – Multi Bintang Indonesia, produsen dari merek bir BINTANG dan Heineken® di Indonesia, meraih penghargaan untuk empat kategori sekaligus pada ajang Sustainable Business Awards (SBA) 2020/2021:

  1. Winner untuk kategori Sustainability Strategy
  2. Winner untuk kategori Water Management
  3. Significant Achievement untuk kategori Workforce
  4. Significant Achievement untuk kategori Energy Management

“Merupakan kehormatan bagi kami untuk bisa mendapatkan pengakuan pada empat kategori ini. Meskipun pada 2021 kita semua masih berada di tengah pandemi, komitmen kami terhadap keberlanjutan tidak berubah, dan kami bangga telah mampu memanfaatkan periode ini sebagai momentum untuk menuju tahap berikutnya dan menciptakan dampak positif yang lebih besar lagi bagi lingkungan dan sesama,” kata Ika Noviera, Direktur Corporate Affairs Multi Bintang Indonesia.

Penghargaan SBA sendiri merupakan bentuk apresiasi kepada perusahaan-perusahaan yang dinilai telah menjadi yang terdepan dalam praktik bisnis berkelanjutan dan telah berhasil menggabungkan prinsip tersebut ke dalam strategi jangka panjang bisnis mereka.

Komitmen kuat Multi Bintang Indonesia terhadap keberlanjutan mengacu kepada strategi global Brew A Better World 2030 dari HEINEKEN dan terbagi ke dalam tiga area fokus, yaitu Environmental (Tanggung Jawab Lingkungan), Social (Tanggung Jawab Sosial), dan Responsible (Konsumsi yang Bertanggung Jawab), yang diterapkan secara terintegrasi di semua fungsi dalam perusahaan.

Salah satu prioritas di bawah pilar Environmental adalah upaya Multi Bintang Indonesia terkait konservasi air, yang dilakukan dari hulu ke hilir. Mulai dari pengolahan dan penggunaan kembali air limbah di brewery melalui Instalasi Pengolahan Air Limbah (IPAL) dan Effluent Reclamation Plant (ERP), reforestasi di area-area sumber air, hingga berbagai riset dan pengawasan terhadap kondisi Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS), semua dilakukan untuk menjaga sumber daya air, karena setiap tetesnya sangat berharga.

Selain pengelolaan sumber daya air, energi menjadi satu lagi prioritas dalam upaya keberlanjutan Multi Bintang Indonesia. Perusahaan memiliki ambisi untuk mencapai karbon netral melalui penggunaan energi terbarukan dan memaksimalkan efisiensi energi. Saat ini, 28% dari energi yang digunakan dalam proses produksi Multi Bintang Indonesia berasal dari sumber terbarukan, seperti penggunaan biomassa yang memanfaatkan sekam padi dari sawah di sekitar brewery.

“Fasilitas ERP yang digunakan di brewery Multi Bintang Indonesia dibangun pada 2017, dan merupakan yang pertama di jaringan perusahaan HEINEKEN di seluruh dunia. Terkait penggunaan energi, target kami adalah untuk mencapai 100% penggunaan energi dari sumber terbarukan di proses produksi pada 2025,” lanjut Ika.

Tidak hanya terkait lingkungan, Multi Bintang Indonesia juga melakukan serangkaian inisiatif terkait ketenagakerjaan, khususnya untuk memberikan dukungan yang diperlukan para karyawan selama pandemi. Perusahaan menerapkan protokol kesehatan dan keselamatan yang ketat secara menyeluruh di semua lokasi kerja, termasuk bagi para frontliners dan mereka yang bekerja dari rumah. Dukungan untuk menjaga kesehatan fisik juga dilengkapi dengan sarana untuk menjaga kesehatan mental, dengan penyediaan platform layanan konseling dengan psikolog yang dapat diakses oleh setiap karyawan kapan pun dan di mana pun.

“Semua ini tidak akan dapat terwujud tanpa dukungan dari para mitra kami dalam menjalankan berbagai inisiatif tersebut. Kami percaya bahwa melalui kolaborasi, kita semua dapat meningkatkan skala upaya kita dan menciptakan dampak secara lebih luas. Oleh karena itu, tahun ini kami juga meluncurkan serangkaian kegiatan untuk membuka pintu kolaborasi lebih lebar lagi, bagi siapa pun yang ingin menginspirasi dunia yang lebih baik bersama kami. Informasi lebih detail akan kami bagikan dalam beberapa minggu ke depan,” tutup Ika.

Berbagai inisiatif lainnya terkait keberlanjutan dari Multi Bintang Indonesia selama 2021 dapat dilihat di Sustainability Report yang dapat diakses melalui tautan bit.ly/MBI-SR2021-ID.

Located at Sukhumvit, Bangkok, alt.Eatery is a new concept of plant-based community that brings an enjoyable food experience to the digital generation.

According to Sunny Kiatkamol Tangngamchit, Managing Director of Nutra Regenerative Protein Limited (NRPT), alt.Eatery is an experience store for consumers to taste the meat analogue under the alt brand.

NRPT is equally owned by NRF and PTT. The state-owned petrochemical giant PTT is using this venture to enter into the plant-based protein business.

In Thailand, many plant-based producers are still small in size and struggle to enter the big retail chains. alt.Eatery reaches out to these plant-based makers to offer them a platform to display and sell their products to consumers.

At the moment, alt.Eatery has around 70 partners including plant-based snack makers and plant-based ice cream producers carrying a total of around 500 SKUs, added Sunny.

alt.Eatery “does not advertise anything about plant-based but we just advertise that it is the new restaurant, the new cafe and the new community for everyone to come in and just happen to be plant-based,” said Sunny. alt.Eatery’s approach is to draw consumers in, not only vegans but everyone, through its various delicious foods and comfortable dining and shopping environment without an overt emphasis on the plant-based concept.

For the restaurant, alt.Eatery uses its own meat analogue as the ingredient so that consumers can taste the meals and realise that plant-based foods are tasty, said Sunny.

Apart from alt Chic Pop Spicy Flavour, the alt plant-based meat range comprises nugget, gyoza and tender all made by Inter-Oceanic Resource Co., Ltd., one of Thailand’s leading distributors and processors of frozen food and value added products for restaurants hotels and catering.
