Labuha, 22 December 2025 – Harita Nickel reaffirmed its commitment to human capital development through the awarding of the Harita Gemilang Scholarship 2025, held in Labuha, South Halmahera Regency. The program forms part of the Company’s ongoing Community Development and Empowerment Program (PPM) in the education sector, implemented sustainably as a strategic initiative to support human development in its operational areas.
In 2025, the Harita Gemilang Scholarship was awarded to 100 students from Obi Island who are currently pursuing higher education at various universities across Indonesia. All recipients were selected through a competitive process that took into account academic achievement, family economic conditions, and motivation to contribute to their home region in the future.
This initiative is particularly relevant in the context of human development in South Halmahera Regency. Based on official indicators, the region’s Human Development Index (HDI) stands at approximately 66.66, indicating that efforts to improve the quality of education, healthcare, and decent living standards remain key priorities in local development. This figure underscores the importance of cross-sector collaboration, including scholarship programs, as a strategic approach to expanding access to higher education and strengthening the capacity of the younger generation.
Harita Nickel’s Community Development Manager, Broto Suwarso, explained that the Harita Gemilang Scholarship is designed as a PPM intervention focused on long-term human development. “The Harita Gemilang Scholarship is part of the Company’s social responsibility to support the improvement of human resource quality in communities surrounding our operations. We hope that scholarship recipients will complete their studies successfully and return to their villages to contribute to the development of Obi Island,” said Broto.

The program is implemented in collaboration with local governments, the Education Office, higher education institutions, and village administrations to ensure that it is well-targeted and sustainable.
He further emphasized that Harita Gemilang is not solely oriented toward financial assistance, but also toward sustainable impact. “Through Harita Gemilang, we ensure targeted interventions through a selection process that considers academic performance and family background. The program is also accompanied by monitoring and evaluation to ensure that its benefits are felt over the long term,” he added.
In the same vein, a representative of the South Halmahera Regency Education Office, Fadli Kasuba, highlighted the important role of collaboration between government and the private sector in improving regional human resource quality.
“This scholarship assistance is highly meaningful, especially for students in island regions such as Obi Island, where access is limited. Through collaborations like this, young people continue to have opportunities to pursue higher levels of education,” he stated.
The Harita Gemilang Scholarship 2025 comprises three categories: Gemilang Prestasi, Gemilang Harapan Sarjana, and Gemilang Harapan Diploma, with individual scholarship values of IDR 15 million and IDR 10 million. The assistance is disbursed in a single stage to support students’ educational needs, including tuition fees (UKT), accommodation, and other academic requirements.
For the recipients, the scholarship serves not only as financial support but also as a source of motivation to continue striving for excellence. One recipient, Lista Bororing, a student from Air Mangga Village who is currently studying at Manado State University, shared that the scholarship has had a tangible impact on the continuity of her studies. “With the scholarship from Harita Nickel, I feel greatly supported, especially in covering tuition fees, accommodation, and other academic needs. This assistance motivates me to complete my studies and later return to contribute to the development of my home region,” she said.

Through the Harita Gemilang Scholarship, Harita Nickel continues its commitment to human resource development that has been in place since 2024, strengthening it as a sustainable program aimed at delivering long-term benefits for the younger generation of Obi Island.

Harita Nickel Awards the 2025 Harita Gemilang Scholarship to 100 Young Talents from Obi Island

Harita Nickel has recorded a significant milestone in reducing stunting within its operational area. Through the Soligi Zero Stunting program, 21 out of 25 children in Soligi Village, Obi Island, South Halmahera, have successfully overcome stunting and shown improvement in their nutritional status.&nbsp;
This achievement, recorded as of mid-2025, confirms the effectiveness of an integrated approach involving the company and relevant stakeholders in efforts to reduce stunting rates in a sustainable manner.
Harita Nickel Community Development Manager Broto Suworso explained that the Soligi Zero Stunting program has been running since 2022, combining nutritional interventions, health education, and strengthening community health services. "This success is the result of teamwork. We believe that children's health is an important foundation for a stronger and more prosperous future," he said.
The Soligi Zero Stunting Program includes the provision of supplementary food (PMT) based on local food sources, training for community health center (Posyandu) workers, the construction of auxiliary health centers (PUSTU), and the provision of communal clean water wells. All activities are carried out in a participatory manner, involving the community as the main agents of change.
The spearhead of this program's implementation is the Soligi Village posyandu cadres, who play a direct role in assisting families and monitoring child growth and development. Murni, one of the posyandu workers and program initiators, explained that posyandu activities are carried out regularly every month through weighing, measuring children, and distributing supplementary food.
“We also proactively visit the homes of toddlers at risk of stunting and provide counseling to mothers so that they pay attention to their children's nutrition and regularly check their pregnancies at the health center," she said.&nbsp;
"We also proactively visit the homes of toddlers at risk of stunting and provide counseling to mothers to pay attention to their children's nutrition and regularly check their pregnancies at the health center," said Murni. According to her, the most noticeable change is the decrease in the number of children with stunting and malnutrition, from 25 children to now only 4 children. "Our hope is that next year it will be zero, and the children of Soligi will grow up healthier," she emphasized.
In addition to strengthening basic health services, this program also builds community capacity. A total of 13 posyandu workers have been trained in child growth and development monitoring, 354 children have received assistance, and more than 300 supplementary food packages have been distributed to support improvements in family nutrition.
For its impact and innovation, the Soligi Zero Stunting program won the 2025 Subroto Award from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) in the category of Most Innovative Community Development and Empowerment Program (PPM) for Mineral Commodities in the field of Health. This award recognizes Harita Nickel's contribution to supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the national policy aimed at accelerating the reduction of stunting.

The sustainability of the program is also a key focus. The village government is committed to allocating funds for PUSTU operations and maintenance of clean water facilities. At the same time, PUSTU is being developed as an integrated health service center, complete with a child-friendly park and a family medicinal garden (TOGA).&nbsp;
Harita Nickel also implements stunting-reduction programs in other villages surrounding its operational area on Obi Island, in collaboration with local government and community stakeholders.
Through the success of Soligi Zero Stunting, Harita Nickel has demonstrated that a collaborative, community-based approach can be an effective solution in overcoming stunting in remote areas.

From Soligi, Harita Nickel Builds New Hope for a Stunting-Free Obi Generation

In commemoration of National Health Day 2025, Harita Nickel brought free medical services directly to residents of Air Mangga Village and Tabuji Hamlet on 15 December 2025. This initiative reflects the company’s commitment to improving the quality of life in communities surrounding its operational areas through preventive and promotive health programs.
The activity aligns with the Community Development and Empowerment Program (PPM), the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3 on Good Health and Well-Being, and Harita Nickel’s sustainability policy, which places community health as a key foundation for inclusive and resilient social development.
In addition to free health services, the program also included Basic Life Support (BLS) and emergency response training. The training equipped community members with first-aid skills to respond to emergencies such as cardiac arrest, breathing failure, accidents, and bone fractures before professional medical assistance arrives.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/15122025_HN_PelatihanBHDPengobatanGratisDesaAirMangga_86.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="720">

This initiative is especially important for villages that are located far from healthcare facilities. By strengthening community capacity at the village level, Harita Nickel supports the development of resilient communities that are better prepared to respond to emergencies quickly and effectively.
“Many villages are located quite far from healthcare facilities. Through this program, we want to bring health services closer to the community while also strengthening their basic skills to handle emergencies that may occur at any time,” said Ragil Pardiantoro, Community Development Supervisor of Harita Nickel.

<figcaption>Community members participate in free medical services during Harita Nickel’s National Health Day 2025 program.</figcaption>

The free health services included blood pressure checks, basic medical examinations, health consultations, and health education. The program reached around 300 residents from Air Mangga Village and Tabuji Hamlet, including health volunteers, village officials, community leaders, and youth representatives.
High community participation reflected the strong enthusiasm of residents throughout the activity. One resident of Air Mangga Village, Jelny Gusu, shared that the training and health checks provided valuable knowledge she had never received before.
“Through this training, we learned how to help someone who faints, how to handle bleeding, and even how to respond to broken bones. This is very important because if an accident happens, we already have the knowledge to help,” she said.
Cross-sector collaboration was a key strength of the program. Head of Laiwui Community Health Center, Sumarni Malang, emphasized that partnerships between companies, healthcare workers, and local governments play an important role in strengthening health services at the village level.
“This activity strongly supports our ongoing preventive and promotive health efforts. Collaboration with Harita Nickel has a real impact on the community, especially in early disease detection and improving health awareness,” she said.
The Head of the South Halmahera District Health Office, Asia Hasjim, expressed her appreciation for the free medical examinations and treatment provided in the mining area. She hopes that such activities can be increased and expanded in scope in 2026 so that efforts to prevent various diseases can be carried out more accurately and comprehensively.
Similar appreciation was also expressed by the Head of Air Mangga Village, Fransiskus Salauwe. "The community's response has been very positive. We hope that activities like this will not stop at just one moment, but can be sustained and further strengthen health services in the village," he said.
Through this initiative, Harita Nickel reaffirms its commitment to working closely with healthcare workers, local governments, and communities in strengthening promotional and preventive services and building an inclusive health ecosystem around the company's operational areas.

For its consistent contribution to accelerating efforts to reduce stunting, Harita Nickel received a Gold Rating at the GENTING Collaboration Summit 2025, hosted by the Ministry of Population and Family Development (BKKBN) on Wednesday, 10 December 2025.
The award recognizes pentahelix partners that have demonstrated strong cross-sector collaboration in supporting the GENTING Program (Foster Parents Movement for Stunting Prevention). Held under the theme “Synergy for the Nation, Toward a Stunting-Free Indonesia,” the summit highlighted the vital role of the private sector in strengthening inclusive and sustainable community health systems.
Vice President of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) &amp; Management System at Harita Nickel, Supriyanto Suwarno, emphasized that this achievement reflects the company's approach in implementing its Community Development and Empowerment Program sustainably.
"For Harita Nickel, this achievement does not stand alone. The Gold rating is the result of a systematic community development and empowerment approach based on the needs of the community in the operational area, through collaboration with local governments, health workers, and the community," he said.&nbsp;
The award was given to pentahelix partners, who were deemed to have made a positive contribution in supporting the implementation of the GENTING (Foster Parents Movement to Prevent Stunting) program through cross-sectoral synergy. With the theme "Synergy for the Country, Realizing a Stunting-Free Indonesia," this forum highlighted the crucial role of the business world in strengthening an inclusive public health system.
As part of the implementation of the community development and empowerment program in the health sector, Harita Nickel undertakes various initiatives aimed at preventing stunting, focusing on strengthening local capacity and promoting long-term behavioral change. These programs include family nutrition counseling, strengthening maternal and child health services, empowering healthcare workers, and assisting families at risk of stunting. A community-based approach allows for sustainable and more targeted interventions.
The implementation of a measurable community development and empowerment program is reflected in the Soligi Zero Stunting program in Soligi Village. This program was developed as a community-based health intervention that integrates family assistance, community health worker empowerment, and nutrition education through collaboration with local government and health workers. This approach promotes measurable improvements in the health status of children previously identified as stunted.
For this achievement, Soligi Zero Stunting received the 2025 Subroto Award from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) in the category of Most Innovative Community Development and Empowerment Program in the Health Sector, further validating that a systematically designed community development and empowerment program approach can produce measurable social impact.
Supriyanto added that this Gold rating serves as an incentive for the company to continue improving the quality and scope of its community development programs. "This award is not the end of our journey, but rather motivation to expand collaboration and ensure that every intervention provides long-term benefits, especially for the communities in the vicinity of Harita Nickel's operations on Obi Island," he said.
Achieving the Gold rating at the GENTING Collaboration Summit 2025 reaffirms Harita Nickel's commitment to implementing a community development program as part of its sustainability strategy. Based on the philosophy of Satu Harita Saling Menjaga (One Harita, Looking After Each Other), Harita Nickel positions itself as part of the community, growing together through collaboration and initiatives based on local needs to promote improved quality of life for the community.

Reducing Stunting in Obi, Harita Nickel Receives Gold Rating at GENTING 2025

Harita Nickel's commitment to empowering communities surrounding the mining area has once again been proven through the graduation of 22 participants of the third batch of the PELITA (Youth Skills Improvement) Vocational Program. This time, the program was focused on mastering the Mandarin language to meet the strategic needs of the nickel downstream industry.
In the graduation ceremony that was held on Thursday (27/11) in Harita Nickel’s site on Obi Island, the graduates officially obtained HSK 3 (Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi level 3) equivalent competency after undergoing six months of intensive training, covering 112 sessions or the equivalent of 192 hours of learning.

<figcaption>Harita Nickel’s management presented a Mandarin language vocational certificate to one of the program’s outstanding graduates.</figcaption>

Harita Nickel’s Deputy Head of Technical Support, Agung Aribowo, affirms that this program was designed for the local communities to become more than just spectators amid the rapid growth of the nickel industry, but to become active participants.
"We understand that the success of downstreaming depends on strong human resources. These Mandarin vocational graduates are prepared to become vital communication bridges in a work environment that is integrated with international partners. This is a strategic added value for local people to enter the competitive global job market," said Agung.
The impact of this program was felt directly by Kasman La Jaani (18), a young man from Soligi Village. Facing economic challenges and difficult terrain to arrive at the language school, Kasman almost gave up halfway through. However, intensive assistance from the Community Development team of Harita Nickel managed to revive his spirit to study again, enabling him to become the second-best graduate.
“At the beginning, it was difficult because of the distance and weather; I felt like giving up. But the support from my mentors at Harita Nickel helped me get back on my feet. I believe that Mandarin language skills are the key to a brighter future for us, the children of Obi,” said Kasman optimistically.

The Head of the North Maluku Provincial Education Office for South Halmahera, Saimah Kasuba, expressed her deep appreciation for the program. She called it a significant breakthrough in regional vocational education.
“Ladies and gentlemen, you should take pride in the fact that the PELITA Mandarin vocational program at Harita Nickel is the first of its kind in South Halmahera. It is precisely this kind of collaboration that is needed to produce competent and competitive local human resources,” Saimah affirmed.
PELITA is part of Harita Nickel's Community Development and Empowerment (PPM) program, which aims to improve local human resources through vocational education.
Prior to this third batch, the program has successfully transformed unskilled workers into certified skilled workers. A total of 14 graduates from the first batch are now working as wheel loader operators, while 28 graduates from the second batch are operating overhead cranes at a smelter owned by one of Harita Nickel's subsidiaries.
Harita Nickel's commitment to education does not stop at vocational training. In addition to PELITA, the company is also providing scholarships for 100 university students from Obi this year, building school infrastructure, and providing incentives for assistant teachers. All of this is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in creating quality education.
This educational ecosystem is built with the aim of producing local human resources who are not only technically competent but also highly competitive in responding to the increasingly competitive challenges of the global nickel downstream industry.

Harita Nickel Prepares Mandarin-Speaking Obi Youths for Global Industry Competition

Harita Nickel continues to strengthen its commitment to supporting sustainable natural resource management through community empowerment programs in the agricultural sector. One example of this commitment is the implementation of the Sekolah Ladang (Field School), an organic farming training program held in Kawasi Village on November 5–6, 2025.
The program served as a learning platform for 45 farmers from Obi and South Obi sub-districts to deepen their understanding of environmentally friendly farming practices. Through training sessions conducted on demonstration plots, participants not only learned theory but also practiced organic farming techniques that can be applied directly to their own fields.
<img class="img-fluid n1ed--selected" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Sekolah%20Ladang%20Harita%20Nickel_1.jpg" width="2048" height="1365" data-fm="true">
A total of 45 participants from the subdistricts of Obi and South Obi took part in the program, accompanied by field agricultural extension officers. They were trained in producing solid and liquid organic fertilizers, making natural pesticides, and applying efficient seedling and planting techniques for horticultural crops using local materials. Beyond technical skills, the activity also fostered collaboration and networking among farmers to further expand sustainable agricultural practices across the Obi Islands.
Head of the Agricultural Extension Center (BPP) for Obi District, Hamka Kamarullah, welcomed the initiative, describing the Field School as an important platform for improving local farmers’ capacity. In his remarks, he encouraged participants to become productive farmers who also care for environmental sustainability.
“The hope is that farmers can be more productive without sacrificing soil fertility. Don’t rely solely on chemical fertilizers, because agricultural sustainability is an investment for the future,” said Hamka.
Hamka added that each participant plays an important role as a change agent within their community. By sharing their knowledge and experiences, the impact of this program can reach a wider audience and bring tangible benefits across the Obi Islands.
Meanwhile, Suryo Aji, Community Development Superintendent of Harita Nickel, explained that the Field School is part of the company’s effort to promote farmer independence through the use of local resources.
“Our goal is simple, to help Obi farmers become self-reliant and reduce their dependence on chemical fertilizers. This way, their farming can be more productive and environmentally friendly,” he said.
The program also featured two local agricultural heroes, Siti Marnia and Darwin Adu Hasan, who have successfully implemented organic farming systems through Harita Nickel’s mentorship. They shared inspiring stories about how adopting sustainable agricultural principles has improved yields while maintaining soil fertility.
One participant, Siti Ria from Fluk Village, expressed her appreciation for the hands-on knowledge gained from the training.

“I’m happy to learn how to make my own fertilizer and to be taught proper seedling techniques. This knowledge is very useful and can be applied directly in our gardens,” she said.
Through this program, Harita Nickel reaffirms its commitment to supporting sustainable agriculture, particularly through organic land management, as part of its Community Development and Empowerment Program (PPM). The initiative reflects the company’s ongoing synergy with local government and communities to strengthen food security that is competitive, sustainable, and environmentally responsible.

Harita Nickel Promotes Sustainable Agriculture Through Organic Land Management

Harita Nickel continues to strengthen its support for local businesses on Obi Island through entrepreneurship training with the theme of “QCD &amp; Entrepreneur Development”. This activity was attended by 43 participants, comprising MSMEs, agricultural and fishery cooperatives, and local suppliers, all of whom were supported by the company.
With the rapid growth of the Obi Industrial Park, the demand for food ingredients to support company operations continues to increase. Currently, Harita Nickel and its catering vendors have partnered with 67 local suppliers, a figure that reflects the significant role of the community in the company's supply chain. This situation highlights the pressing need to increase business capacity and standards.
Community Development Superintendent of Harita Nickel, Suryo Aji, emphasized that this activity is not merely technical training, but also a long-term investment in community economic empowerment.
"We want to open up networks, increase productivity, and strengthen the capabilities of MSMEs and local suppliers so that they can meet company standards," he said.
He added that aligning quality, delivery accuracy, and cost efficiency are major challenges in the local supply chain.
Harita Nickel's assisted groups are engaged in three sectors, namely food processing, agriculture, and fisheries. To date, these assisted groups have supplied the needs of four of the company's business units, ranging from canteens and cafes to minimarkets.&nbsp;
"The empowerment of MSMEs has generated a monthly turnover of around Rp14 billion, involving 26 business groups and 65 local suppliers. Overall, this program has created 729 jobs," he added.
The Kawasi Village Government also expressed its appreciation for this initiative. Frans Datang, Secretary of Kawasi Village, believes that the training has a direct impact on local businesses. He hopes that collaboration between companies and MSMEs will continue to be strengthened so that economic opportunities for the community will become more widely available.
The participants also felt the positive impact of the training. Putri Ibrahim (36), chairperson of the Pro Mama group that processes coconut oil, said that the company's assistance helped her group improve quality and marketing, making their business more stable and sustainable.
"The assistance from the company has helped us improve quality and marketing. Our business is more stable and has a significant impact on our family's economy," she said.
In addition to business development and food safety materials, this activity also facilitates meetings between local businesses and financing institutions to expand access to capital for MSMEs.

The workshop that was held on November 15, 2025, at the Activity Center of PT Halmahera Persada Lygend featured culinary entrepreneur and founder of Baba Rafi, Hendy Setiyono, as well as speakers from the Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Health (IHOH) team at Harita Nickel. Also in attendance were Primus Priyanto, Head of Mining Engineering at PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk, along with representatives from other business units.
This entrepreneurship workshop underscores Harita Nickel's commitment to strengthening the economic foundation of the community through sustainable Community Development and Empowerment (PPM) programs, as well as ensuring that industrial development goes hand in hand with the growth of local business capacity.
Harita Nickel also scored 89 on the 2024 Community Satisfaction Index (IKM), with an average Social Return on Investment (SROI) of 2.62.

The aroma of spices and freshly grilled fish filled the air at the commercial area of the new residential complex in Kawasi Village. In a spirit of togetherness, Harita Nickel held the Obi Food Festival 2025 under the theme “Torang Baku Sedap” (“Let’s Share the Flavor”), as part of its commitment to preserving traditional cuisine while strengthening the local economy. The event, held on October 28, 2025, provided a platform for the community to celebrate both their culinary heritage and regional identity.
The festival became a special moment for residents—especially the women of Kawasi Village—to showcase their creativity and pride in North Maluku cuisine. Five cooking teams competed by preparing dishes using local ingredients and traditional recipes, from fresh fish and local spices to various agricultural products. Each dish was judged for its taste, presentation, and authenticity, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the region.

“Through this event, we hope to encourage the community to love and preserve North Maluku’s traditional cuisine. Food is more than just a meal—it’s part of our cultural identity and a driver for creative economic potential,” said Suryo Aji, Community Development Superintendent at Harita Nickel.

Harita Nickel Promotes Local Culinary Heritage Through Obi Food Festival 2025

South Halmahera, October 22, 2025 — Harita Nickel reaffirms its commitment to sustainable development by supporting the agricultural sector on Obi Island, South Halmahera Regency. Through the SENTANI program (Obi Food Security Center), the company continues to promote food resilience and improve the economic welfare of communities within its operational area.
To support this initiative, Harita Nickel collaborated with the Obi Subdistrict Leadership Coordination Forum (Forkopimcam), the Obi Agricultural Extension Center (BPP), Brimob Company 3 Battalion C, and the Buton Village Government to carry out a joint rice planting activity across 10.5 hectares of farmland in Buton Village, Obi District. The activity, which involved two farmer groups under the company’s guidance, symbolizes the synergy between the private sector, government, and local communities in strengthening regional food security.
Harita Nickel’s Community Affairs General Manager, Dindin Makinudin, explained that SENTANI is part of the company’s Community Development and Empowerment Program (PPM), designed as a center for sustainable agricultural development. The program provides cultivation guidance, infrastructure and facility support, as well as market access for local farmers.
<blockquote>
“We hope SENTANI can serve as a model for sustainable agriculture that delivers tangible benefits to the community. Harita Nickel will continue to accompany farmers so that their results can contribute directly to regional economic growth,” said Dindin.
</blockquote>
He added that Harita Nickel’s commitment to community empowerment also extends to other sectors such as education, health, infrastructure, and socio-cultural development.
<blockquote>
“We want the people of Obi to be resilient not only in food security, but also ready to seize economic opportunities in various sectors,” he added.
</blockquote>
The Obi Subdistrict Government expressed its appreciation for Harita Nickel’s initiative, noting its broad social and economic impact.
<blockquote>
“SENTANI strengthens the spirit of collaboration and cross-sector cooperation. It is a concrete example of synergy between the company, the government, and the community,” said Ahmad Siombiwi, a representative of the Obi Subdistrict Government.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, Anwar La Jumani, Head of the Batu Putih Farmers Group, shared the tangible benefits of the SENTANI program. The company’s support includes the provision of seeds, fertilizers, plowing machines, and training.
<blockquote>
“Since Harita Nickel began assisting us, farmers’ enthusiasm has increased because we feel supported and guided,” he said.
</blockquote>
The SENTANI program currently involves 30 active members, consisting of farmer groups, the village-owned enterprise (BUMDes), and the Buton Village Government. Previously, Harita Nickel’s assisted farmers received the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Sustainable Village Development (PDB) Awards 2024 from the Ministry of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration (Kemendes PDT) and the Indonesian Social Sustainability Forum (ISSF) for their contribution to strengthening village development through BUMDes-based initiatives.
In addition to SENTANI, Harita Nickel has implemented several other agricultural empowerment programs, including Salam Kawasi as an integrated agricultural learning center in Kawasi Village, Kabar Mapan in Baru Village, Impresif in Jikatamo Village, and Obi Sehati in South Obi District.
Through these initiatives, Harita Nickel demonstrates that industrial growth can go hand in hand with improving community welfare. Support for food security remains an essential part of the company’s commitment to fostering inclusive and sustainable economic growth on Obi Island.

Harita Nickel Supports Agricultural Sustainability in Obi through the SENTANI Program

In the modern mining world, a company's success is measured not only by its production volume or economic contribution. Increasingly, a business's sustainability credentials are also determined by the benefits it provides to communities living in the vicinity of its operations. This principle is implemented by Harita Nickel – a nickel mining company operating on Obi Island, North Maluku – through a range of corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs.
<h2 dir="ltr">The Importance of Corporate Social Responsibility in the Mining Industry</h2>
The mining industry often operates in areas far from urban centers, where local communities’ livelihoods are closely connected to the surrounding environment. Here, the arrival of mining companies can bring both opportunities and challenges. Therefore, CSR is key to ensuring that the benefits of mining operations are truly felt by the community.
For Harita Nickel, CSR is not merely an obligation, but part of a long-term commitment to grow alongside the Obi community. Through social programs, the company strives to support improvements in the community's quality of life, from education and health to economic empowerment.
