Many of Medco Group CSR activities are consolidated under one entity : Medco Foundation.
The activity of Medco Foundation began in 2003. At that time, Yayasan Pendidikan Medco (current Medco Foundation) was focused on education sector by managing schools located in Jakarta. When natural disasters occurred in Indonesia such as the 2004 tsunami in Aceh and the 2006 earthquake in Yogyakarta, the foundation also took active roles.
Since 2007, Yayasan Pendidikan Medco changed its name to Medco Foundation, and this transformation showed that the foundation’s activities had risen. The foundation CSR programs are divided into four main areas : community economic development, community social development, public health, and environmental sustainability program. Some of Medco Foundation activities that been held routinely are book donations to schools and libraries in a remote areas, blood donation, entrepreneurship training for the pesantren community, the reforestration of upper course of the river, and natural disaster relief.
All of the Medco Foundation programs always be done based on in-depth research and planning, in order to know the necessity and potency of the community. By conducting a feasibility study, Medco Foundation hopes that the donation and support can meet the right target.
