Giving Back

Our social contributions aim to address today’s challenges and build tomorrow’s capabilities. In addition to short-term activities such as orphanage visits and blood donation drives, our long-term initiatives include scholarships and awareness-building programs and facilities. We also fund programs for people with Down syndrome by supporting ISDI, the Indonesian Down Syndrome Association.

As an active member of Indonesia’s vibrant and diverse community, we take our social responsibilities seriously.

M&T sponsored the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition by supporting the Indonesian national winner's participation in the global finals in Washington, D.C. Our lawyers participate in other moot court competitions as judges, coaches or team advisors. They also do volunteer teaching at universities in Greater Jakarta and collaborate with the Indonesian Red Cross on a biannual blood donor program.
