Implementing social responsibility, also known as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), is the company's operational responsibility for the company's decisions taken. Companies are faced with obstacles, disturbances and constraints in the form of the emergence of conflicts. In reality, companies can operate optimally and sustainably if supported by a conducive atmosphere both from the internal and external environment. This description emphasizes more on the external of the company related to the conducive atmosphere. The implementation of CSR can potentially be an effort to obtain a license to operate from the local community, as well as part of the company's risk management to reduce or avoid social conflict. In addition, CSR also has the potential to give the company a distinctive, good, and ethical image in the eyes of the public; and can create customer loyalty.
Corporate Social Responsibility or PPM has become a new obligation of business standards that must be met (ISO 26000 on Social Responsibility) so that the demands of the business world become increasingly clear on the importance of CSR programs for the sustainability of company operations. National and Aceh Provincial regulations related to corporate social responsibility, CSR or PPM are based on Law No. 11/2006 on the Government of Aceh, which is specifically regulated in Article 159 of the LoGA which states the obligation for mining companies to prepare community development funds. In addition, there are also other legal products that serve as the basis for the implementation of corporate social responsibility, such as Law No. 40/2007 and Government Regulation No. 47/2012 on Social and Environmental Responsibility (CSR).
