Purnomo Yusgiantoro, Energy and Mineral Resources Minister, has said that corporate social responsibility (CSR) should not only be the obligation of natural resources companies.

“CSR should be implemented by all companies without exception,” he said after the launching of the Biofuel Expedition Vehicles Road Show to the Manado-Jakarta route, in Jakarta, on Monday (23/7).

Purnomo stressed that CSR was a company’s activities to build the community’s support around projects.

“Any project,” he said.

According to him, companies in the oil, gas and mining sectors have already applied CSR prior to the Company Decree being passed last week.

“Even without the decree, we have already applied this,” he said.

The State Decree regarding Limited Companies states in article 74 a company is obliged to carry out CSR, or else sanctions will be imposed in accordance with the law.

Companies that must apply CSR are those whose business is related to natural resources.

As regards companies that are not involved in natural resources at all may apply CSR voluntarily.
