environmentally-friendly working atmosphere as well as applying at their homes.
According to Director of Human Resource AgusRojali,
it includes simple actions in everyday routine of human life, for example, it
says: Treat Tap Water Wisely. Turn
the water faucet off while brushing teeth or washing hands. Never let it flow
unnecessarily. It is suggested to install low pressure faucet."These
tips are very useful to practice on a daily basis, and not only reading it, our
associates also love to practice a new tip every day," said Agus
