InfoSAWIT, JAKARTA – To celebrate cultural heritage of Indonesia and commitment to its basic principles, the workers of Wilmar proudly commemorated national Batik Day on Monday, 2 October 2023. Batik which is full of colors and symbolism is the real evidence on deep appreciation of the company toward various culture in Indonesia.

Head of Human Capital Wilmar, Erlina Panitri said that batik is the traditional icon of Indonesia. It is famous with its beautiful design and deep symbolism. Batik has been acknowledged as masterpiece of oral and intengabile heritage by United Nations of Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
