Jakarta, July 26th, 2022 – PT United Tractors Tbk (UT), in collaboration with the Karya Bakti United Tractors Foundation (YKBUT), planted mangroves in Muara Tawar area of Bekasi Regency through the Environmental CSR program (UTREES). UT Group remains committed to reducing the spread of carbon in the atmosphere, one method being tree planting. In addition to absorbing carbon, mangroves protect the coast by preventing abrasion and providing habitat for marine life.

This planting was carried out in commemoration of World Mangrove Day where the Indonesian Navy adopted the theme ‘The Mangroves Save Our Earth’. This planting was carried out simultaneously in 77 points spread throughout Indonesia. In Muara Tawar alone as many as 3,500 mangrove trees were successfully planted in this activity.
This program was also attended by Mr. Yudistira as a management representative of PT United Tractors Tbk, Mrs. Endang Tri Handajani as head of Karya Bakti United Tractors Foundation (YKBUT), Mr. Himawan Sutanto as Head of Social Responsibility and Communication (SRCOM), First Admiral Herdiko as Inspector Kolinlamil, Drs.
