FMC Ungaran Puts Words Into Action

FMC’s Ungaran (Indonesia) plant – PT. Bina Guna Kimia – has set lofty goals to work closely with the local community to achieve responsible economic, social and environmental benefits for its residents. And the company has already produced several noteworthy results.  For example, the company has:

  • provided numerous educational tools for area schools, including the donation of state-of-the-art classroom computers
  • donated infrastructure development, including the repainting of the local elementary school building
  • presented scholarships to junior high, senior high and college-level students
  • provided classroom instruction on environmental education for the local elementary school
  • collaborated with local NGOs and USAID to facilitate educational programs on HIV prevention
  • assisted with improvement of local sanitation systems, including installation of a 10 cubic meter freshwater supply tank for the community
  • supported and cooperated with the government health minister’s program on dengue prevention

These and other daily efforts have helped to distinguish FMC Ungaran as a faithful, committed neighbor and partner. The company’s ongoing objectives ensure that it will remain an important thread in the fabric of the local community.
