JAKARTA, INDONESIA - MARI Oceans was invited by the Association for Women in Small Businesses Assistance (ASPPUK) to participate as a resource person in their workshop titled, “Transformation into Responsible and Inclusive Business.” last February 28th, 2024. This workshop was attended by representatives from the Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection, the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs, and other associations committed to fostering positive business practices in Indonesia.
MARI was part of the session “Multi-stakeholder approach in promoting inclusive and Responsible Business in Indonesia” and presented its effort in developing business practices, especially in Takalar, Indonesia where MARI operates and where ASPPUK is also involved with their women’s and youth empowerment program (Ujung Bali Village, Takalar).
