SundaGas believes in active and constructive social engagement in the countries and regions within which it is active. Our long running commitment to social responsibility predates the establishment of SundaGas and is part of our business ethic.
Fundamentally, social responsibility means a commitment to run environmentally and socially responsible businesses wherever where we may operate. This includes ensuring all activities are carried out in a compliant and transparent fashion and working closely with all social and business stakeholders. SundaGas believes in safeguarding the interests of the communities within which it operates, including ensuring genuine opportunities for employment and development of national staff.
On a direct level, SundaGas is active in support of groups that provide meaningful assistance to communities in the SE Asia region. For example, SundaGas management founded and are trustees to “Kurnia for Hope” (www.kurniaforhope.com), a charity that disburses funds to areas or communities that are most in need.
One charitable project that SundaGas is particularly proud to support is the Vega (www.sailvega.com), a group that distributes humanitarian aid throughout isolated areas of Indonesia and Timor-Leste, using a historic sailing clipper. The materials distributed include educational tools for schools and medical equipment to local healthcare providers in remote locations.
