To the people of Indonesia and the world, Royal Golden Eagle (formerly Raja Garuda Mas) represents a multi-billion dollar empire spanning multiple industries and countries.

What is lesser known is its commitment to ‘Social Stewardship’—working together with local communities to alleviate poverty and advance Indonesia’s quality of life. RGE pursues this strategy through a range of programmes focused on crucial development areas, such as education, healthcare, skills and training upgrade, and infrastructure development.

RGE is also keenly focused on empowerment, mainly through its partnership with the Tanoto Foundation. The partnership supports SMEs as well as craftsmen and farmers in its operations. To date, RGE has supported over 200 SMEs in 40 villages by providing financial and technical aid and generating more employment opportunities for those communities.

Bracell, meanwhile, supports a range of programmes to increase and diversify income and skill sets of the farming community, and further promote sustainable policies.
