We’re partnering to improve the health of local communities in Indonesia.

We’re a global company providing energy and products for people around the world, but capable of keeping a community focus and building better lives together.

Wherever we operate, we work with the local community to improve lives: like supporting education, local health services and the economy.

Discover how we’re helping to make the Bojonegoro region near our operations in East Java, Indonesia a better place for the people in the region – creating the foundation for a better future.

Health at home

Prevention is the best medicine. What began as a response to community concerns during our early operations has grown into a program that promotes healthier living. Pusat Informasi Kesehatan (PIK) serves as a health information hub for families around the Banyu Urip field, providing education and home-based assessments.

Offering regular screenings for blood pressure, glucose, and cholesterol, it runs campaigns on nutrition and hygiene to reduce chronic disease risks. PIK works with local health workers and village leaders to strengthen community health systems and education.

It equips communities with the knowledge and resources to lead healthier lives and strengthen local health systems.

A new education approach

Persada Kindergarten in Bojonegoro Regency, East Java, Indonesia, teaches children fundamental skills and nurtures creativity.

Supported by the Semai Benih Bangsa initiative and developed through our community program in partnership with the Indonesian Heritage Foundation (IHF), it introduces interactive and character-based learning models to early childhood education centers and has trained hundreds of teachers in the region.

The program has also supported Persada Kindergarten in improving facilities, including a library and an early childhood education center.

A homecoming

The opportunities we’re creating are empowering people to return to their hometowns from big cities like Jakarta and build businesses that strengthen local economies.

Niken Savitri, a Bojonegoro native, once worked in Jakarta with charities and non-profit organizations. But as our presence in Bojonegoro grew, she saw new potential and moved back, starting a locally run events company called ARKA.

Niken became an ExxonMobil vendor, and during COVID-19, supported our food assistance program, delivering locally produced rice to 2,000 underprivileged households. This initiative also created a market for local farmers, helping sustain livelihoods and strengthen the economy during challenging times.
