LPCK COMMITS TO DEVELOPING ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY TOWNSHIP AREAS
Jakarta, November 8, 2022 – PT Lippo Cikarang Tbk. (LPCK), a subsidiary of PT Lippo Karawaci Tbk. (LPKR), is committed to developing eco-friendly integrated township areas that consistently prioritize comfort for all residents. This includes creating lush and harmonious environments across its residential, commercial, and industrial developments. The commitment is reflected in its green open space planning, waste and wastewater management, and efficient use of resources such as energy, water, and materials like paper.
More than just addressing the needs of property owners within the township, LPCK’s environmental approach also contributes to tackling global environmental issues such as global warming and plastic waste reduction. Throughout 2021, LPCK allocated IDR 14.96 billion to support its environmental management programs. These include landscaping and maintenance services, waste collection, drainage system cleaning, and disinfection efforts.
To meet the area's water needs, LPCK operates Water Treatment Plants (WTPs) sourced from Cikarang River and West Tarum Canal, which are treated into clean water in accordance with quality standards outlined in Ministry of Health Regulation No. 32 of 2017. The treated water is then distributed to industrial, commercial, and residential areas for various purposes, including domestic use, factory production processes, food and beverage manufacturing, and commercial activities such as restaurants, shops, hotels, hospitals, and malls. LPCK does not extract groundwater for its operations, thus reducing the risk of groundwater depletion in surrounding communities.
John Riady, CEO of LPKR, stated, “For our company, conducting business sustainably is key to achieving long-term growth. We define sustainability as a way of doing business responsibly—not only to deliver economic value to the company but also to create value for all stakeholders. That includes employees, consumers, shareholders, business partners, the government, communities, and the environment. As a developer that has transformed more than 3,000 hectares of land into a self-sustained township with industrial zones as its economic foundation, we are committed to driving sustainable development.”
As of the end of 2021, LPCK had successfully developed over 17,615 homes and 11 eco-friendly apartment towers, complemented by 2 malls, 21 schools (including international institutions), 1 university, 3 modern hospitals, and 5 star-rated hotels.
