During the visit, the director expressed confidence about the quality of the commodities provided by the company.

“We are pleased to support the procurement, packaging, and storage of 50,000 social assistance packages consisting of the nine primary commodities. We will ensure that every process runs perfectly, especially in terms of quality and authenticity of each product, which should be in line with the our motto, #DijaminOri (original guarantee),” said Sandy Permadi, CFO of JD.ID, who also joined the warehouse tour.

“We also hope that, in the future, JD.ID can contribute more to other social activities, which can have a positive impact on communities in-need, especially those who are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Permadi.

JD.ID is widely known as a platform for authentic products in Indonesia.
