I am pleased to confirm that PT. Citrabahari Nusindo reaffirms its support of the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact in the areas of Human Rights, Labour, Environment and Anti Corruption.

In this our annual Communication on Progress, we describe our actions to integrate the Global Compact and its principles into our business strategy, culture and daily operations. We are also committed to share this information with our stakeholders using our primary channels of communication.

Sincerely Yours,

Nada Faza Soraya

Our company has business line as the agent of sea transport, both passangers and goods, which bases in Batam Island, Indonesia. Our operation services area mainly the transportation from Batam – Singapore – Batam.

We are fully aware that our operation has close relationship with the safety of both the human and nature. The activities may run well and smoothly with the awareness of all related crews and company members on keeping the nature, particularly sea environment. This could possibly be achieved by having understanding of all crews and members on how important this will be for the sustainability of our business in the future.

In our operation, we always avoid any decision and action that will contradict to the ten principles of UN Global Compact Program. The essence of the ten principles is always exposed to our employees and this is intended to be our tradition. Since our operation is related to other company, mainly our Principle’s employees, we also try to ensure that there is no any principle biased from all the operation.

This issue has been our careful attention in creating comfortable work atmosphere.

In order to implement the real practice of the principles, we have CSR programs that cover human building and nature preservation. The CSR is managed by a team which makes sure our principles implemented as being planned.

Since 2012, we have been donating solar power electrics to the coastal people around the island of Batam which have no electric power in their area. The solar power electrics have multi functions for the people in doing their activities, not only limited to their activities at the day time. Most of all, this equipment does not harm the nature. In the last three years, we have donated 150 sets of the equipment including the equipment we cooperated with other institutions. In ensuring the equipment is still in good condition, we have a personal who monitors every month or at least once in two months.

In some occasions, we sponsor the mangrove replantation in some critical islands around Batam which may protect the islands from abrasions.

This year, we sponsor a student of Batam to participate in American Field Service (AFS) as exchange student participant in France for one year. As a developing country, we realize that we need more experience and culture from developed country through this program.

Since in the last two years we have problems in our company’s operation, we have not had the programs which can cover all ten program of UN Global Compact. However, we keep trying to comply with all the principles in our activities and decisions.
