PT Cita Mineral Investindo Tbk (CITA) awarded the Indonesia Sustainable Development Goals Award (ISDA) 2021 Corporate Social Responsibility Based on ISO 26000: 2013 for SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) GOLD Category which was handed on 17 September 2021 in Jakarta. This award is a tangible manifestation of CITA's contribution in achieving SDGs for increasing business and employment opportunities for the community. The event was initiated by the Corporate Forum for CSR Development (CFCD) with the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia and the Ministry of National Development Planning/National Development Planning Agency (PPN/Bappenas).

In this event, CITA raised a program with the title CITA INNOVATIVE (Incubation, Verification and Creative Economy) to be included in the award event. CITA INOVATIVE is a program designed to focus on the economic aspects of the SDGs program. Since 2019 CITA through its CSR program has helped many communities and groups to grow and develop into economically independent communities. This is evidenced by several community empowerment programs such as the Food MSME Program, Rice and Palawija Agriculture, Cattle and Chicken Farming, and the Fishery Cultivation Program.

GM External and Permit CITA, Agus Rusli, is grateful for CITA's achievement in winning this prestigious award. This proves that the CSR programs that have been carried out so far can contribute to supporting sustainable development launched by the government.

“This award is clear evidence of CITA's contribution to the success of the sustainability development program, especially in the economic aspect. CITA will continue to strive to improve the quality of its programs so that more people can benefit from the presence of corporations in their environment. We realize that the government cannot work alone, it is necessary for other parties to be actively involved in making the SDGs a success,” he added.

On the same occasion, Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Airlangga Hartanto, expressed his appreciation to companies that have proven their actions in supporting sustainable development. "As the government, we are aware that we cannot work alone, we need joint action and efforts from all parties to be able to realize these SDGs," he said.
