The event, held at the company's premises, brought together the Board of Commissioners, Board of Directors, Department Heads, and all employees in a warm atmosphere filled with togetherness, mutual respect, and meaningful reflection.
The Halal Bihalal gathering is one of the company's important annual traditions, serving as a valuable opportunity to strengthen relationships after the holy month of Ramadan. Beyond seeking and granting forgiveness, the event also reinforces unity, encourages collaboration, and renews the collective commitment of everyone at PT Kertas Padalarang to face the challenges and opportunities of 2026 with renewed enthusiasm.
In her opening remarks, President Director of PT Kertas Padalarang, Mrs. Puteri Zulieni, extended her heartfelt Eid al-Fitr 1447 AH greetings to the entire PT Kertas Padalarang family. She also expressed her sincere apologies for any shortcomings or mistakes that may have occurred throughout the previous year in the course of carrying out her responsibilities and interactions with colleagues.
"Halal Bihalal is more than a cultural tradition; it is the embodiment of our religious values in preserving brotherhood and mutual respect. Within an organization, harmony between management and employees is the foundation of sustainable growth and lasting success," said Mrs. Puteri Zulieni.
She emphasized that the values embodied in Halal Bihalal are essential to the company's long-term sustainability. Harmonious relationships, open communication, and mutual respect form the foundation of a productive, healthy, and collaborative workplace that supports sustainable business growth.
Three Strategic Directions for All Employees
During the event, the President Director outlined three strategic priorities to guide all employees as they resumed their professional activities after Ramadan.
1. Bringing the Values of Ramadan into Daily Work
Mrs. Puteri encouraged every employee to carry forward the positive values cultivated during Ramadan into their daily professional responsibilities. Discipline, honesty (shiddiq), trustworthiness (amanah), accountability, and a commitment to delivering the highest quality work should continue to define the company's work culture.
She emphasized that work is not merely a corporate obligation but also a form of worship. Therefore, every task should be carried out with sincerity, professionalism, and the spirit of ihsan—the pursuit of excellence in every aspect of one's work.
2. Strengthening Harmony and Collaboration (Ta'awun)
The spirit of forgiveness fostered during Halal Bihalal is expected to eliminate misunderstandings and differences that may have arisen in the workplace. With renewed hearts, employees are encouraged to improve communication, strengthen cross-departmental collaboration, and support one another in achieving the company's shared objectives.
The principle of ta'awun, or mutual assistance and cooperation, remains one of the company's core values in building a harmonious, resilient, and adaptive organizational culture.
3. Maintaining Focus and Renewing Purpose at Work
As the company enters the second quarter of 2026, PT Kertas Padalarang faces a range of business challenges that require dedication, perseverance, and collective commitment. Therefore, the President Director encouraged all employees to continually renew their intentions and remain focused on the greater purpose behind their work.
She reminded everyone that every effort and sacrifice made is not solely for achieving corporate targets, but also for supporting their families, contributing to society, and advancing Indonesia's paper industry.
With sincere intentions and a strong spirit of togetherness, the company believes that every challenge can be overcome, enabling PT Kertas Padalarang to continue growing in a sustainable and responsible manner.
