Social

Our social sustainability vision:

Building, caring, & respecting the people, communities & cultures we operate within.

As a business situated in some of Indonesia’s most remote regions, we deeply value our collaboration with the local communities. Our pearl farms wouldn’t thrive without their presence and support. It is our priority to establish genuine connections and maintain open lines of communication to incorporate the needs and values of these communities and individuals into our organisational ethos. Through nurturing authentic relationships, our aim is to cultivate a harmonious culture that embraces the rich diversity of perspectives within our community.
Atlas Pearls operates in remote regions where we often serve as the primary employer, deeply ingrained within the communities we operate. This integration is reflected in our employment and training practices, as well as our targeted community engagements. Each of our sites tailors its approach to community involvement to prioritise the specific needs of those communities. This includes various training and safety initiatives, provision of essential resources, access to medical services, financial support towards education, material and labour support for community infrastructure repair and building of new facilities as well as supporting local businesses and economy.
Our corporate social responsibility (CSR) program is centered on impactful projects aligned with our broader sustainability objectives. Our strategy allows for flexibility, enabling each site to customize projects to best suit the unique characteristics and needs of the local community, thus maximizing our company’s positive influence.
