Samsung Electronics Indonesia received the “Best CSR Award 2016” for its contributions to the Indonesian community. The award was presented to Samsung by several organisations, which included the Indonesian Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprises, the Indonesia Investment Co-ordinating Board, the Korea Trade Investment and Promotion Agency and the South Korean Embassy.

The corporate social responsibility programme organised by the company focuses on various aspects such as skill development of the underprivileged, building up of smart libraries equipped with smartphones and gadgets, aiding small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to develop their business and compete in higher markets, and encouraging students to submit potential mobile application ideas that could help make daily life activities easier for users by incorporating these into Samsung mobile devices.
