“The factory’s commitment to environmental sustainability has also taken a significant leap forward with the implementation of electric heavy machinery,” he said in a statement, Wednesday.
GulaVit’s collaboration with Formula E, the world’s first sport to be certified net zero carbon since inception, reflects the brands commitment to sustainable transformation.
GulaVit has already implemented changes including the use of solar power in its sugar mills and incorporating water recycling technology and the use of rainwater in production mills.
GulaVit also has a strong commitment to social sustainability, providing scholarships to the Indonesian community for children of low-income families to attend university, as well as supporting healthcare clinics in affected communities.
Matt Scammell, Chief Commercial Officer, Formula E, said: “We are excited to welcome GulaVit as the title sponsor of the spectacular Jakarta E-Prix event in this important Southeast Asia market. Our partnership is based on positive shared beliefs and values in sustainability and electrification and we are looking forward to exploring new ways to collaborate.”
“We are thrilled to welcome GulaVit as title sponsor for 2023 Jakarta E-Prix,” said Iwan Takwin, President Director, PT Jakarta Propertindo (Perseroda).
He noted, the partnership, between the two institutions, is based on Business to Business (B2B) scheme that brings benefits to both corporations, not limited to only marketing opportunities for local product exposure but also to the international market.
The success of this event will be a living proof that local business and companies are ready to enter the global market, with this event as its stepping stone and to many more international events in the coming future. Most importantly, we are together, hand-in-hand, for the success of a world championship motorsport event that will elevate the name of Jakarta and Indonesia to the international world.”
