Jakarta, 29 December 2021 - For 24 years, the Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia, Ma'ruf Amin said in his speech that Proper has developed into a platform for the business world to carry out sustainable business practices by implementing green economy principles. During its journey, Proper also continues to transform from criteria that are only related to water pollution control, to become more comprehensive criteria that promote sustainable improvement and disaster response.
In 2021, the Proper award will be held again. Based on the report from the Minister of Environment and Forestry, Siti Nurbaya, the Proper rating consists of 2 categories. Namely compliance for Blue, Red, and Black Proper, and beyond compliance category for companies receiving Gold and Green Proper awards.
