Jakarta, July 10, 2025. The Accounting Study Program of Universitas Bunda Mulia successfully held a Community Service Program (PKM) online in collaboration with SMK Pelita Raya Jambi City with the theme “Implementation of ESG in the Context of School Sustainability.” The event was attended by 12 staff members of SMK Pelita Raya Jambi City and took place with great enthusiasm.

The program began at 10:00 AM WIB, opened by Mrs. Catheryn Iona Nelson, S.Ak., M.Ak., a lecturer from the Accounting Study Program of Universitas Bunda Mulia. In her opening remarks, she emphasized the importance of implementing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles in the educational environment as a concrete step to support school and environmental sustainability.

In her presentation, she provided a comprehensive explanation of the vital role of educational institutions in preserving the environment and fostering a culture of sustainability within schools.

The session was facilitated by Marvin Luckianto, a student of the Accounting Study Program at Universitas Bunda Mulia. The staff member with the lowest carbon footprint was Mr. Ando, demonstrating a personal contribution to reducing carbon emissions.
