As a growing company, PT Dai-Ichi Kimia Raya continues to demonstrate its commitment to sustainability and community development through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives.
CSR represents a company’s responsibility and contribution toward social and environmental welfare. Dai-Ichi Kimia Raya applies this principle through programs that support education and industrial collaboration.
Recognizing the strong connection between the textile manufacturing sector and educational institution, the company launched the “Dai-Ichi Goes to Campus” program as part of its CSR efforts.
Collaboration with STTT Bandung: Building the Future of Indonesian Textiles
In 2014, Sekolah Tinggi Teknologi Tekstil Bandung (STTT Bandung) was chosen as the official partner for Dai-Ichi’s CSR program. This collaboration aims to advance the Indonesian textile industry by bridging academia and manufacturing expertise.

The objectives of the program include:
- Strengthening cooperation between textile manufacturing companies and academic institutions.
