PETROKIMIA GRESIK DISTRIBUTES 175 FOOD PACKAGES TO FLOOD VICTIMS IN GRESIK

Petrokimia Gresik, an Agroindustrial Solutions company and a member of the Pupuk Indonesia holding company, delivered 175 food packages to flood victims from the Lamong River in Gresik Regency. In addition, the company also sent 5,000 sacks and 20 tarpaulins for the construction of emergency embankments. The aid was handed over directly to the Gresik Regency Government (Pemkab) through the Gresik Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) on Wednesday (December 24, 2025).

Separately, Petrokimia Gresik President Director Daconi Khotob stated that flooding in several villages in the Gresik area had occurred since Sunday (December 21, 2025), but community activities had not yet recovered, as hundreds of homes were still inundated.

"In carrying out its business operations, Petrokimia Gresik not only produces quality fertilizers and chemicals for the advancement of national agriculture and industry, but the company's presence must also be felt by the community. This assistance is a form of our concern, as Petrokimia Gresik employees. We want to be present among the people currently experiencing the flood disaster," said Daconi.

Each basic food package distributed by Petrokimia Gresik contains 3 kilograms of rice, instant noodles, cooking oil, and eggs. This assistance is the result of coordination between Petrokimia Gresik and the Gresik Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), ensuring that it truly meets the needs of the victims. The BPBD also assisted in its distribution, ensuring it reached its intended target and made a positive contribution to accelerating the recovery of flood victims.

Daconi also added that, based on coordination with the BPBD, Petrokimia Gresik also sent thousands of bags and tarpaulins to build emergency embankments. The flooding in southern Gresik was caused, in part, by the breach of the Lamong River embankment in Cerme District. According to data from the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), flooding inundated three sub-districts in Gresik Regency due to breached embankments and overflowing rivers: Balongpanggang, Benjeng, and Cerme.

Daconi further stated that, as a company headquartered in Gresik Regency, Petrokimia Gresik is committed to continuously assisting the government in handling the flood disaster in Gresik. Petrokimia Gresik is committed to ensuring that the company's progress is aligned with its contribution to the community.

"We hope this TJSL (Social and Environmental Responsibility) assistance can ease the burden on our brothers and sisters affected by the floods. Petrokimia Gresik is committed to remaining responsive to any situation that occurs in East Java in general and Gresik Regency in particular. Hopefully, the floodwaters affecting our brothers and sisters will soon recede, and the community can return to their normal activities," Daconi concluded.
