Community Development
Supporting local livelihoods through employment, small-business partnerships, and investment in the regions we call home across Eastern Indonesia.
Our Impact
Creating lasting value beyond business
Basra Corporation is an Indonesian business group headquartered in Surabaya, East Java. The group believes progressive growth and social responsibility go hand in hand — across Eastern Indonesia, its 10+ business units invest in the communities they operate in, because lasting success is measured by the good we leave behind, not only by what we build.
From local employment and education to environmental stewardship and community health, our impact programs turn our commitment to "sustainability for society" into tangible, on-the-ground action.
