Mr. Muhammad Ihsan expressed his hope that through this award, companies in various sectors would continue to enhance their implementation of corporate social responsibility programs, focusing on sustainability and addressing challenges through social and environmental innovation.
“This award is based on a survey that scores and ranks companies. We evaluate the best practices from each company.
