Values Champion

ANJ aspires to create a corporate culture based on our three core Valuess of Integrity, Respect for People and the Environment and Continuous Improvement. These three values provide the foundation for all our objectives, policies and operations. At each of our offices and estates, we have appointed one to three Values Champions who, in addition to their regular work for the Company, also help to model and communicate the values to their co-workers. In this way, we aim to ensure that the values are internalized and upheld across the organization. When necessary, they also serve as intermediaries between management and employees, for example, by facilitating employees in making complaints, voicing grievances or finding appropriate assistance. 

There were a total of 35 Values Champions and 4 Cadres of Values Champions in the Company by the end of 2023. The Values Champions submit monthly reports on their observations of actions and behaviors that either embody or conflict with the core values. These reports are reviewed, analyzed and consolidated by an organizing committee and the analysis is forwarded to the Company’s ‘Values Guardians’, currently Commissioners George Santosa Tahija and Anastasius Wahyuhadi, who may take further action if warranted. Values Champions are also responsible for reporting immediately any action or conduct that requires urgent attention. 

In 2023, ANJ Values Champion conducted 27 outreach sessions to employees and stakeholders across all company operational units. These sessions explained the behavioral guidelines for implementing ANJ's values, including collaboration with people from diverse backgrounds, honesty, open-mindedness, and other behavioral guidelines. In the same year, we brought our values champions together in a two-day retreat, providing them the opportunity to discuss the core values, and develop means to ensure consistent and universal appreciation of our values across our business entities. With a theme of “Becoming Great Values Champions: from Values to Corporate Culture”, the retreat in 2023, focused on both celebrating the achievements and looking forward to future challenges and opportunities while adapting to the evolving needs of the Company and its environment.
