Ascott and Trilogi University Promote Environmental Education

ASCOTT JABOTABEK AND TRILOGI UNIVERSITY PROMOTE ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION & URBAN FARMING AT WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION DAY CELEBRATION

In celebration of World Environmental Education Day, Ascott Regional Jabotabek reaffirmed its commitment to environmental sustainability and community empowerment by organizing an educational and action-oriented environmental program at Trilogi University. The initiative was carried out in collaboration with Jakarta Berkebun and Trilogi Berkebun, bringing together expertise, academics, and community members to promote environmental awareness through practical action.

The program brought together representatives from more than 20 properties under The Ascott Limited portfolio, including Ascott, Citadines, Oakwood, Somerset, Harris, Vertu, Yello, Pesona Alam, and The Botanica Sanctuary. The collective participation reflected a strong spirit of collaboration and shared responsibility toward building a more sustainable future.

Reza Syah Putra, Corp-Director of Operations Excellence, said “This collaboration is truly meaningful in celebrating World Environmental Education Day. We believe that by working together with like-minded partners, we can inspire positive behavioral change and contribute to creating a more sustainable future for the next generation. We extend our sincere appreciation to all parties who took part in making this initiative impactful.” 

The event began with an interactive environmental education session led by urban farming and agriculture experts from Trilogi University. Participants gained valuable insights into the importance of urban farming, including plant cultivation techniques, maintenance processes, and sustainable harvesting methods. The educational session was followed by a hands-on tree planting activity, where participants were guided by environmental facilitators, Bapak Dr. Ahmad Rifqi Fauzi, S.P., M.Si (Experts Team at the Center for Urban Agriculture Studies) on proper planting techniques to support long-term growth and ecological benefits. As part of this activity, participants planted avocado trees, symbolizing sustainability, nourishment, and long-term environmental stewardship.

As a symbol of long-term commitment, an Ascott Cares signboard was installed at the location. The signboard represents Ascott’s dedication to environmental sustainability, acknowledges collaborative efforts with community partners, and serves as a lasting reminder of the company’s contribution to urban farming and environmental education initiatives. 

The program was aligned with Ascott Cares, particularly the Environment and Community pillars, as a symbol of Ascott’s ongoing dedication to creating positive and long-term impact through education, collaboration, and sustainable practices.
