Hankook completes its CSR streetlight project in Bekasi, improving safety and supporting SDG goals for sustainable communities.
Hankook Indonesia’s CSR Initiative Aligns with the UN’s SDGs
Hankook Tire has completed its “Streetlight Installation Project” in Indonesia, aimed at improving the local traffic environment.
The project was launched in 2024 as part of Hankook‘s global CSR initiative and was designed to improve nighttime safety for residents living near Hankook’s Indonesia Plant in Cikarang Pusat, Bekasi Regency, West Java.
This year, in collaboration with the local police, Hankook installed 30 high-efficiency LED streetlights along two sections, totalling 3 kilometres, starting in September. The areas where the streetlights were installed have long been prone to flooding and street crimes, making nighttime walking and driving dangerous.
“With this donation, Hankook Tire not only ensures safer and more convenient travel for residents and employees of its Indonesia Plant but also anticipates that the brighter streets will help boost the nighttime economy, thereby contributing to the local community,” the company wrote in its official statement.
Hankook Indonesia‘s CSR initiative aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030, especially the “Sustainable Cities and Communities” objective. In total, since last year, Hankook has installed 60 streetlights in the region.
Before this project, in August 2025, employees from Hankook’s Indonesia Plant participated in a mangrove planting initiative at Sederhana Beach in Bekasi, where a total of 5,000 mangrove trees were planted to contribute to climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation.
In addition, Hankook Tire has been donating tyres annually to local public and private organisations to support safe and efficient operations. The company is also conducting beneficiary-focused community initiatives, such as educational and medical support programs for children from low-income families and sponsorship activities for vulnerable communities.
Looking ahead, Hankook Tire plans to actively fulfil its corporate social responsibility by maintaining close communication with local communities across its global production bases, including Indonesia, the United States, Hungary, and China.
