Good Corporate Citizenship

Good corporate citizenship according to MUC Consulting is about living in harmony with stakeholders, by providing the best values to the stakeholders, as stated in our missions. This covers commitment to the environment, making positive contributions to the community, treating employees well, and conducting business practices with ethical values.

MUC Consulting has started being a good corporate citizen since the company is still in the phase of developing. MUC Consulting believes that good corporate citizenship is a must for a company that wants to operate and survive in a long-term period. For MUC Consulting, such commitment is not only a domination of leading-edge corporations.

Our positive contributions to the community, among others, are as follows:

1. We actively support the improvement on the tax implementation in Indonesia, i.e. our experts provided inputs to the parliament for the drafts of the 2000 and 2008 Indonesian Tax Laws.
2. We encourage our employees to participate in their communities, for example by giving them extra annual leaves for those volunteering in social activities (i.e. humanitarian workers, fund-raisers for underdeveloped areas, etc.), as well as giving our donation.
3. We give our financial support and actively participate in several Non-Governmental Organizations involved in social community improvement, e.g. Center for Indonesian Reform, Institute for Economic Study, and Indonesia Business Links.
4. We support the Ten Principles of United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) related to human rights, labor standards, environmental protection, and anti-corruption.
5. We regularly support and participate in several international conferences on social and economic improvement in Indonesia.

Education:

• For years we have committed to provide free training for students, taxpayers, tax officers, and tax consultants for their specific needs under a program named Generating Real Excellence in the Area of Taxation (GREAT). This program is aimed at creating better tax environment in Indonesia since in Indonesia taxation is often considered non-professional environment.

• Due to our concern for education in general, we established a foundation, Yayasan Buah Hati, which is engaged in elementary education.
• As part of our responsibility as consultants, we participate in socializing the latest government regulations by organizing free seminars and webinars
