Clariant in Indonesia recently launched its 2011 Responsible Care® program with a new series of community programs focused on education, safety, health and the environment for people living in the vicinity of its manufacturing plant in Tangerang.

So far, Clariant Indonesia has distributed 134 scholarships to students at all educational levels through the foundation. Clariant recently introduced an environmental cleanliness movement, including the planting of 500 trees in public spaces, through close cooperation with other companies in the Cibodas Tangerang region.
