DEFEND ID held a Socialization of Gratification and Prevention of Corruption at the DEFEND ID Holding together with the Indonesia’s Commission for Corruption Eradication (KPK). Deputy for Education and Community Participation of the KPK Wawan Wardiana was the speaker at the event which was held in a hybrid manner via zoom meeting and at the DAHANA Auditorium, Subang, West Java, on Wednesday, November 13, 2024.
DAHANA’s President Director Syaifuddin said that DAHANA is committed to building a culture of integrity in the Company environment. Integrity is the foundation for the sustainability of the Company in carrying out its mandate as part of the country’s defense industry.
“We greatly appreciate DEFEND ID’s for initiation of this event, especially for the presence of the KPK here as a strategic partner in promoting an anti-corruption culture. Through this socialization, I hope that every participant will gain a deeper understanding of gratification and the steps that must be taken to avoid it,” said Mr Syaifuddin.
As a form of integrity commitment, PT DAHANA has implemented an Anti-Bribery Management System (SMAP) based on the ISO 37001:2016 standard in accordance with the direction of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises (SOEs) through the Circular of the Minister of SOEs No. S-35 / MBU / 02/2020, dated January 10, 2020 on the Implementation of the Anti-Bribery Management System in SOEs. SMAP is a guideline for DAHANA personnel in carrying out company activities transparently, accountably, and upholding healthy business ethics.
Meanwhile, Mr Wardiana said that based on research from 1,446 SOEs engaged in the energy, mining, transportation and water sectors from 38 countries, it shows that companies with low levels of corruption can run companies with high levels of efficiency and income.
In accordance with Article 12B and 12C of Law No. 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law No. 20 of 2001, gratification includes money, goods, rebates (discounts), commissions, interest-free loans, travel tickets, accommodation facilities, tourist trips, free medical treatment, and other facilities received domestically or abroad, whether done with or without electronic means.
On that occasion, Mr Wardiawan also specified various forms of corruption, types of gifts that are not included in gratification, the KPK’s supervisory function through socialization and community involvement, to the importance of integrity in national and state life.
“Less intelligence can be fixed by learning, less capability can be eliminated with experience. However, dishonesty is difficult to fix,” said Mr Wardiawan quoting Muhammad Hatta.
