Petrokimia Gresik Hosts Fun Walk and Free Medical Check-up for Local Communities

Petrokimia Gresik, an Agroindustry Solutions company and a member of the Pupuk Indonesia group, organized a fun walk and free medical check-up event with the local community around the Water Treatment Plant (IPA) Petrokimia Gresik Gunungsari in Surabaya, East Java, on Sunday (3/9). The event was officially opened by Dwi Satriyo Annurogo, President Director of Petrokimia Gresik, along with the local Forkopimcam.

Dwi Satriyo expressed gratitude for being able to organize the "Fun Walk" event again after being postponed for three years due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This fun walk, also held as part of Petrokimia Gresik's 51st Anniversary celebration, signifies the company's commitment to supporting the creation of a healthy community.

"The growth of Petrokimia Gresik for over half a century would not be realized without the contribution of the community playing a role in the company's progress. Fun Walk not only provides physical benefits but also strengthens social relationships among all of us. It is a good opportunity to gather, share stories, and build closer relationships between Petrokimia Gresik Insan and the surrounding community," emphasized Dwi Satriyo.

Around 2,000 participants from the Gunungsari and Jajartunggal sub-districts, which are within the radius of IPA Petrokimia Gresik Gunungsari, took part in the fun walk. The event was also enlivened with various grand prizes, such as an electric bicycle, LED television, refrigerator, mountain bike, washing machine, and various other attractive prizes.

"We also involve SMEs from Gunungsari and Jajartunggal to liven up food and beverage bazaar stands. This is Petrokimia Gresik's commitment to advancing SMEs as drivers of the people's economy," explained Dwi Satriyo.

In addition to the community fun walk, he added that the event also included the "Healthy Juice" program, which provided free health check-ups for fun walk participants. This activity was a collaboration with Grha Husada Hospital, which is part of the Petrokimia Gresik Group.

"Petrokimia Gresik always actively encourages the surrounding community to adopt a healthy and active lifestyle. This activity is also a form of our commitment to supporting the improvement of the welfare and health of the community around the company. We believe that investing in health and fitness is an investment in a better future, both for individuals and the community as a whole," said Dwi Satriyo.

Meanwhile, one of the fun walk participants, Mediana, expressed joy in being able to enliven this fun walk. She stated that the event was very lively because it was attended not only from the Gunungsari sub-district.

"This year's fun walk is much more lively than before the pandemic. Moreover, the prizes are big. Besides being healthy together, here we can also reunite with friends we haven't seen for a long time," she said.

Similarly, Siti, another participant in the fun walk, considered this activity very beneficial for the participants. In addition to the fun walk, there were also free health check-ups.

"We can participate in free health check-ups. Hopefully, this activity will be held regularly by Petrokimia Gresik," she concluded.

Finally, Dwi Satriyo expressed his gratitude for the support of the Gunungsari community, which ensures the fulfillment of water needs for production in Petrokimia Gresik's factories runs smoothly, thus fulfilling the responsibility to distribute subsidized fertilizers effectively.

"Thanks to the well-operated Gunungsari Water Treatment, the water needs in all Petrokimia Gresik factories can be met. This is undoubtedly one of the crucial factors for the company to consistently produce quality products and contribute the best to the nation," he concluded.

Moreover, the fun walk and free medical check-up are also planned to be held together with the community around the Babat IPA, Lamongan on Sunday (10/9). Thus, the benefits of Petrokimia Gresik's presence can be felt by many communities around the company.
