HBRI XVI
The HBRI XVI was held on 25 January 2012, hosted by PT. Unilever Indonesia (UI) and attended by 69 participants from 16 companies, two associations, one education institution, and 25 NGOs. Yayasan Unilever Indonesia (YUI) and Yayasan Persada (YP) presented their partnership on “Green and Clean” program – an environment program on waste management in Yogyakarta. One of their sustainability strategies is to develop a pilot project called “Waste Bank” which recycles the post consumer waste to help communities gain cash benefits when support from the company ends.
After the presentation, participants discussed "Engaging Media in Partnerships" mainly discussed why and how to engage media in a partnership program. Some of the results came out from the discussion are: media can help organizations to raise fund, media helps increase coverage on activities, companies can involve media by conducting training for journalists and companies should train program manager to understand on how the media works.
Next HBRI meeting will be hosted by London Sumatra in April 2012.
