A landmark China-Indonesia project under the Belt and Road Initiative has won three awards for its corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs.
Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park (IMIP) announced on Aug 6 that three of its CSR programs earned one silver and two bronze awards at the Indonesia Social Responsibility Awards (ISRA) 2026, spanning economic empowerment, healthcare and education.
Since its inception in 2013, IMIP has turned the region's abundant nickel reserves into a large integrated industrial cluster, creating nearly 100,000 direct jobs. With a planned land area of some 4,000 hectares and having attracted over 50 enterprises, IMIP has coordinated efforts to advance industrial development, green transformation, environmental governance, community development and public welfare investment.
The ISRA 2026 award ceremony, held in Surakarta, Central Java and organized by Prospectus Media, recognizes enterprises across seven categories, including economic empowerment, education, health quality improvement and biodiversity conservation, among others, for their achievements in social responsibility, environmental governance and sustainable development.
The "Jejak Alam dalam Kain" (Footprints of Nature in Fabric) ecoprint project won silver in the Economic Empowerment category. Since launching in 2022, it has helped women's groups in Matansala and Bahomakmur villages in Morowali Regency, Central Sulawesi province, utilize natural materials such as leaves, flowers and mangrove fruits to produce ecoprint products and help develop local specialty handicraft industries.
To date, the project has fostered two ecoprint groups with a total of 27 members, according to IMIP. The park has supported the local community in enhancing its independent development capacity through skill training, production equipment provision, product packaging improvement, operational management optimization and market channel expansion. From 2024 to 2025, one group's sales volume jumped 97 percent, with per capita revenue up by approximately 213 percent.
The "Gerakan Masyarakat Sehat" (Healthy Community Movement) project won the bronze award in the Health Quality Improvement category, providing health education, free checkups and primary healthcare facility improvements in several villages around the park, offering blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol and uric acid tests, as well as physician consultations. In 2025, the project delivered health education to 812 people, renovated two primary healthcare facilities and supplied 19 types of medical equipment to 10 primary healthcare institutions.
The bronze award in the Education category went to the "Sekolah Terpadu IMIP" (IMIP Integrated School) project. Operated by the IMIP Peduli Foundation, the school currently runs kindergarten, elementary and junior high school programs, with a senior high school on the way. The school serves 715 students and 46 teachers, 95 percent of whom are from Sulawesi Island. It has 54 educational facilities, including classrooms, a library, computer laboratories, science laboratories and a gymnasium. The school has produced 358 graduates cumulatively, with 102 students graduating in 2025 and 130 in 2026.
Tommy Adi Prayogo, CSR manager of IMIP, said the awards evaluation process helps assess the effectiveness of CSR programs and continuously refine program design based on feedback to better respond to community needs.
Jeffrey Kamajaya, deputy secretary of the IMIP Sustainable Development Foundation (Yayasan IMIP Peduli), said the awards recognize the park's sustained efforts in social responsibility, adding that IMIP will continue to deepen cooperation with local governments, community partners and other stakeholders to achieve greater outcomes in its social responsibility programs.
