Fun environmental learning with Panda Mobile
HSBC Indonesia collaborates with WWF Indonesia to organize the Panda Mobile program, an educational initiative that aims to raise public awareness of environmental preservation and nature conservation, especially among the younger generation. Panda Mobile is an innovative program initiated by WWF Indonesia that mobilizes a six-wheeled truck for mobile education. This truck is specially designed to deliver environmental preservation messages to public areas and schools.
HSBC Indonesia has mobilized the Panda Mobile to 20 Elementary and Junior High Schools in the Jakarta, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi areas as part of its sustainability measures. During each visit, around 50 students of each school were given education on sustainability, biodiversity, and environmental preservation through attractive and interactive games. This program also involved five volunteering employees of HSBC Indonesia who had previously received training and capacity building as volunteers. Soon, this program will target involving up to 100 volunteers and reaching out to 700-1,000 students.
With more than 100 books on environmental conservation, educational games, and documentaries played on the plasma TV screen inside the truck, Panda Mobile became a fun learning space for children. In addition to providing an exciting learning experience, Panda Mobile has another critical mission: promoting Zero-Waste Schools.

This program targets schools on the selected banks of the Ciliwung River Basin (DAS) with the aim of reducing plastic waste and carbon footprints. A while ago, the Panda Mobile team showed up at Depok State Junior High 29 to share with its students the importance of responsible waste management and invite them to become agents of change for the surrounding environment.

Through initiatives such as Panda Mobile, HSBC Indonesia does more than educate the younger generation since it inspires them to become responsible guardians of the earth. We believe that together, every small step can bring big changes for a greener and more sustainable future.
