Dan Liris is dedicated to ensuring that its success as a textile and garment manufacturer does not come at a cost to the environment surrounding its expansive factory in Solo, Central Java. In keeping with their core belief that a clean and healthy working environment builds for an efficient, performance optimised factory; the company is a keen advocate for environmental awareness in the local community and invests heavily in state of the art technology to minimise waste and pollution.
Among the most notable of Dan Liris’ eco-friendly investments is the implementation of a liquid waste management system in 1995. The 2 billion IDR project ensures that the company’s facilities only release liquid waste that meets environmental standards set by government regulation. Subject to regular monitoring and upkeep since its initial installation, this system was cited as one of the many reasons why Dan Liris was awarded with the Blue category ranking upon undergoing evaluation by the Ministry of the Environment in 2011 – a distinction reserved for companies that demonstrate compliance with Indonesia’s pollution control program.
Dan Liris is also a recipient of the ‘Environmentally Conscious Company’ title, given to them by the Governor of Central Java in 2010 in recognition of their concerted efforts to utilise eco-friendly production processes and encourage environmental sustainability within the surrounding community through projects such as the construction of efficient and well-managed water reservoirs.
Appreciative of the importance of its human resources in a labour-intensive industry, Dan Liris pays close attention to the wellbeing of employees as part of its collaborative and close knit corporate culture. Core values focus on being "Faithful, a Problem Solver, and Gritty" are the guiding principles by which Dan Liris approaches each and every interaction with its human resources and as such the company frequently demonstrates its trademark willingness to go the extra mile in providing the best facilities for employees. As testament to this, the company in 2015 launched a motto for its employees – ‘be the right person’ – with the aim of encouraging them to make the most of their potential by becoming conscientious, ethical and upstanding individuals.
Foremost among Dan Liris’ employee facilities is a training centre, founded in 2007 in collaboration with the Employers Association of Indonesia (APINDO), the Indonesian Textile Association (API), the National Program for Community Empowerment (PNPM) and the Ministry of Industry. Through this training centre, Dan Liris actively encourages employees to gain new skills and develop into well-rounded specialists in textile and garment production. Moreover, should employees wish to pursue training and education not offered in house, Dan Liris also makes available financial support.
Other initiatives to promote stability and a reliable work flow by forming excellent intra-company relationships include the establishment of a company medical centre as well as the introduction of a shuttle service to take employees to and from the factory. Such commitment to human resources does not go without reward; Dan Liris employees reciprocate the time and energy devoted to them by achieving optimal productivity and being open with feedback crucial to the company’s ability to improve. This collaborative corporate culture thus creates a work environment that facilitates Dan Liris’ continued expansion and evolution, and will be a key driver of the company’s success in taking on new projects.
