Through Golf Tournament, DAIKIN Mobilizes Support for School Supplies for Children

Jakarta – PT. Daikin Airconditioning Indonesia (DAIKIN) continues to demonstrate its commitment to community social issues. Through its annual corporate golf tournament, the DAIKIN Annual Charity Golf, the Japanese air conditioning specialist mobilized support to provide school supplies for children in need across several regions in Indonesia.

In partnership with BenihBaik Indonesia Foundation, known through its Benihbaik.com platform, these school supply donations will be distributed to students at three elementary schools located in Sidoarjo, Surabaya, and Bekasi. The provided school kits consist of uniforms, backpacks, and shoes.

“Beyond serving as a communication space for DAIKIN partners, we designed this golf tournament to simultaneously foster shared concern regarding the condition of schoolchildren in Indonesia,” said Shinji Miyata, President Director of PT. Daikin Airconditioning Indonesia, during the event. Attended by 144 participants, the DAIKIN Annual Charity Golf was held on September 21 at Sentul Highlands Golf Club in Sentul, West Java.

As strongly implied by its name, the DAIKIN Annual Charity Golf is an annual corporate golf event organized for DAIKIN’s partners. From its inception to its fourth edition this year, the tournament has been designed around two core focuses: synergy and contribution.

The synergy focus is cultivated through networking and communication in a recreational setting between DAIKIN and its business partners who participate. On one hand, this is reflected in the diverse backgrounds of the attendees, which include contractors, building owners, architects, developers, and consultants from various specializations. On the other hand, it is evident through the collaborative organization by DAIKIN’s business groups in Indonesia, comprising PT Daikin Airconditioning Indonesia, PT Daikin Applied Solution Indonesia, PT Daikin Manufacturing Indonesia, and PT Daikin Industries Indonesia.

Alongside fostering synergy, the DAIKIN golf tournament also carries a mission to contribute to the development of Indonesian communities. “This contribution does not come solely from the company. Rather, through this initiative, we aim to cultivate a sense of social responsibility among all participants as part of the greater DAIKIN family in Indonesia,” stated Giam Tee Kiat, President Director of PT Daikin Applied Solution Indonesia.

Aligned with this focus, the school supply support is not merely a corporate donation but an accumulation of contributions from all DAIKIN golf tournament participants. A total of IDR 150 million was successfully raised through this event. These funds will subsequently be converted into school supplies for children from low-income families in the three aforementioned regions.

“The donations collected from all participants and the company represent our efforts as the greater DAIKIN family in Indonesia to further synergize and contribute to social community issues in Indonesia,” added Shinji Miyata.

The entire accumulated fund from the 4th DAIKIN Annual Charity Golf was symbolically received by Firdaus Juli, Chief Marketing Officer of Benih Baik Indonesia Foundation. Also known through its fundraising platform Benihbaik.com, the foundation co-founded by Andy Flores Noya serves as DAIKIN’s partner in distributing these donations.

“We recognize that this support alone cannot solve all community social issues,” noted Shinji Miyata. However, he added, “Regardless of the amount, our hope is that this initiative will inspire and spread the same spirit to more parties to collectively share and contribute to future efforts in developing Indonesian communities.”
