PT Trisula Textile Industries Tbk. (BELL) on its way to implement ‘ESG-Based Business’

23 December 2021, Mumbai:

Textile and garment issuer PT Trisula Textile Industries Tbk. (BELL) said that the urgency of implementing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) based business is very important.

R. Nurwulan Kusumawati, Corporate Secretary of BELL said that considering the current conditions, the implementation of ESG in a company is an important consideration, both in investing and in business sustainability.

This can be seen from how the Government continues to intensively inform the ESG principles even to the extent that private companies support the program.

"BELL itself has implemented the ESG long before the ESG principle was echoed as it is today. Therefore, until now, BELL continues to pay attention to the ESG principle in every strategy and operational process.

The following are some of the certifications that BELL has obtained, including: ISO 9001 Quality Management System :2018, ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System, ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management System, and Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex," he explained, Monday (20/12).

He said that the certification was intended as a form of BELL's commitment to the implementation of ESG and to support the achievement of the SDGs.

He continued, regarding BELL's ESG plans in the future, previously BELL had prepared several plans, among others, exploring the possibility of using renewable energy sources such as the use of solar panels, gas fuel, palm shells, and others in the hope of reducing CO2 carbon emissions.

In addition, it also seeks to gradually increase the use of recycle water. From the production side, prioritize the use of raw materials, environmentally friendly chemical dyestuff through Oekotex Standard 100 certification, Eco Passport, ZDHC and others.

In addition, there is also a plan to participate in the Green Industry certification program from the Ministry of Industry. Then BELL will also improve its CSR program which empowers the community more; improve training programs, employee development and gender equality, and improve marketing, as well as production capacity to ensure the Company's growth through revitalization of machinery, quality improvement, and innovative products.

Regarding the investment, unfortunately, BELL was reluctant to comment further. He said that currently, it is still in the calculation stage. "Regarding investment for ESG going forward, it is currently still being calculated and in the planning process, so we can't share about it yet," he concluded.
