Bank Mandiri Leads Comprehensive Disaster Relief Efforts in Sumatra

Swift Response to Disaster Stricken Areas

Bank Mandiri has taken a proactive and comprehensive approach to disaster relief in Sumatra through its Mandiri Tanggap Bencana program. Since late November 2025, the bank has distributed and prepared over 82,000 relief packages to affected regions in Aceh, West Sumatra, and North Sumatra. This effort demonstrates the bank's commitment to supporting communities affected by natural disasters.

Leadership and Coordination in Relief Efforts

Bank Mandiri's CEO, Riduan, has been directly involved in leading the relief efforts, ensuring effective coordination with local government authorities, regional disaster management agencies (BPBD), and other stakeholders. The bank has deployed 10 trucks as part of a total 30 vehicles prepared for the relief distribution across multiple stages. The distribution process is supported by Bank Mandiri's employee volunteers, known as Mandirian, who are part of the State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Relief Volunteer program.

Comprehensive Relief Infrastructure

To support the relief efforts, Bank Mandiri has established disaster relief posts in Gayo Lues and South Aceh. These posts are equipped with essential facilities such as public kitchens, education and health services, power generators, and internet access. The bank is working closely with local authorities to ensure that the relief efforts are well-coordinated and effective. Riduan emphasized the importance of speed and accuracy in the distribution process, stating that Bank Mandiri is committed to being at the forefront of supporting the affected communities.

Long-term Recovery Plans

In addition to immediate relief efforts, Bank Mandiri is planning long-term recovery initiatives. These include physical assistance, environmental revitalization, and support for damaged educational facilities and places of worship. The bank is also offering financing relaxation measures to help alleviate the financial burden on affected communities and support their gradual recovery.

Bank Mandiri's disaster relief efforts demonstrate its commitment to corporate social responsibility and its role as a responsible corporate citizen in Indonesia.
