Strengthening Social Responsibility Commitment, United Tractors Distributes Aid to Victims of Floods and Landslides in Manado

Manado, January 30, 2023 – PT United Tractors Tbk (UT) through the CSR program UTACTION (United Tractors for Emergency Response and Action) moved quickly to help victims affected by floods and landslides in Manado, North Sulawesi, last Sunday (30/01). The floods and landslides were caused by high rainfall in several areas of North Sulawesi, including Manado City, and caused many families to experience shortages of clean water, food, and clothing.

This direct assistance was provided by the UT Manado Branch by mobilizing volunteers to distribute it to the community affected by the disaster. This initiative is a commitment of the Company to carry out social responsibility and efforts to realize the welfare of the community in the company’s operational areas.

“The activities carried out are a real manifestation of UT’s concern for the Indonesian people, both those located around the company’s operational areas and those who are not. This is a form of UT’s commitment to continue striving to strengthen ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) implementation to have a better impact on society,” said Administration Department Head (ADH) UT Manado Branch, Demas Andwika Yeremia.

The distribution of aid by the UT Manado Branch took place in Sumompo Village, Tumininting District, and several other points in Manado City. A number of aids distributed by UT are necessities such as instant noodles, rice, toiletries, fast food, and mineral water. The assistance was handed over directly by Demas Andwika Yeremia and SDH UT Manado Branch, Stevanus Ekobudi Prasetyo to the Head of Sumompo Village, Hence. E. Patimbano.
