Empowering communities
Eramet firmly believes economic diversification is essential for fostering stability and driving local economic growth. Each of our subsidiaries is developing economic projects in close collaboration with the authorities and the communities. The objective is to contribute to the local development in terms of health, education, local businesses opportunities and infrastructures.
To support this vision even more, we have introduced the Eramet Beyond for Contributive Impacts program, aimed at promoting job creation and entrepreneurial opportunities beyond our core operations. This initiative enhances our activities’ direct and indirect employment opportunities, providing a deliberate and complementary approach to empowering communities.
Scholarship Program
In 2024, Eramet Indonesia, in collaboration with the Kitong Bisa Foundation, has launched a scholarship program for 42 university students from Eastern Indonesia, the majority of whom are focusing on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
This two-year program provides financial support and equips students with essential skills to prepare them for the professional world. These skills include English proficiency, digital literacy, financial management, communication, and project management.
Women for Future: supporting Women Entrepreneurs
In 2025, Eramet rolled out its flagship global Women for Future program in Indonesia, following its successful implementation in Senegal, Gabon, and Argentina. In Indonesia, the program is implemented under the name LAKSMI (Micro Social Capacity Action Steps for Inclusion), focusing on empowering women micro-entrepreneurs through capacity building and skills development. The initiative is carried out in collaboration with Yayasan Cinta Anak Bangsa (YCAB).
The program is designed to enhance participants’ capabilities while expanding their access to markets and financing. Over the next two years, it will provide online training in financial literacy and digital marketing to 600 women micro-entrepreneurs, complemented by masterclasses and networking opportunities to help professionalize their businesses.
