Hankook Tire completed its Water Pump Installation Project in drought-hit Naga Cipta Village, improving clean water access for over 300 households.
Hankook Has Supplied Clean Water to More than 230 Households
Hankook Tire has completed its “Water Pump Installation Project”, a local water infrastructure support initiative, in Naga Cipta Village of Serang Baru, Bekasi Regency, Indonesia, on December 5, 2025.
The Bekasi region has been severely affected by extreme drought and water shortages during the dry season due to El Niño, creating an urgent need for water infrastructure. Naga Cipta Village is home to more than 300 households, including employees of Hankook‘s Indonesia Plant. Among them, approximately 50 households depend on rainwater collection for their daily water needs.
The project aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. Launched last year, the “Water Pump Installation Project” aims to provide reliable access to clean and safe water for local communities near Hankook’s Indonesia Plant.
To complete the project, Hankook Tire collaborated with the local community to install a modern water pump system and storage tank. The new water infrastructure is expected to significantly improve the quality of life for residents by reducing household expenses previously spent on purchasing water and by enhancing local living conditions, which have long suffered from insufficient infrastructure.
As of August this year, Hankook Tire has supplied a total of approximately 2.8 million litres of clean water to more than 230 households, serving over 1,100 residents, since the programme began last year in Pasirranji Village, near Cikarang Pusat.
The water pump installation is not the only CSR initiative Hankook Tire has carried out in Indonesia. In October this year, the company installed high-efficiency LED streetlights to enhance nighttime safety. In August, Hankook conducted a coastal forest restoration by planting more than 5,000 mangrove trees along the shoreline. All of these CSR initiatives align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
In addition, Hankook Tire also donates tyres annually to local public and private organisations to support safe and efficient operations. The South Korean-based company also engages in beneficiary-focused, community-based initiatives such as providing infrastructure support for educational institutions, offering free health checkups for vulnerable groups, and delivering charitable contributions.
“Hankook Tire plans to continue fulfilling its corporate social responsibility by maintaining close communication with local communities in regions where it operates global production bases, including Indonesia, the United States, Hungary, and China. At the same time, the company remains committed to creating sustainable value in partnership with local communities worldwide,” the tyre manufacturer stated.
