Kawasi Village on Obi Island looked different from its usual days. Colorful costumes, lively music, dance performances, and the enthusiasm of participants filled the atmosphere. Amid their daily work routines, Insan Harita had the opportunity to perform, express their creativity, and enjoy a shared moment together through the 2026 Carnival Festival.
Carrying the theme “From Kawasi, We Embrace the World,” the Carnival Festival conveyed a message about the spirit of globalization growing from Obi. The theme also reflects how ideas, creativity, and potential emerging from Obi Island can reach beyond the island and make an impact on a wider stage.
The spirit was reflected in around 700 participants who joined 17 teams from various departments and mining contractors across Harita Nickel. With diverse backgrounds, each team brought its own concept to life through costumes, music, dance, and performances.
For the participants, the carnival became #CaranyaHarita a way to showcase interests and talents that may not always be visible in their daily routines. From developing concepts and preparing costumes to practicing together, every step became part of an experience that brought together different ideas and personalities.

PIC of the 2026 Carnival Festival, Ryan Monginsidi, said the event is an annual program that consistently provides employees with a space to showcase their ideas.
“The carnival is an annual event organized by PT Trimegah Bangun Persada and one of the most unique platforms, where employees can showcase their creative ideas through costumes, dance, and music,” Ryan said.
One of the standout concepts came from the Human Resource and General Affairs (HRGA) team through its theme, “The Civilization of the World.” The concept took the audience on a journey through human civilization, from traditional life in the past to modernization and the age of technology. Human Resource and General Affairs Foreman at Harita Nickel, Arthur Siwi, said the concept was inspired by the development of human civilization from the past to the modern era.
“Through this concept, the story we wanted to convey is that Obi Island is part of the journey of world civilization. Through the downstream processing of nickel ore, Obi is now connected to the world and has become part of the development of the global industry,” Arthur added.
The idea was brought to life through costumes, music, movement, and visual elements. The combination earned the HRGA team a place among the top three winners of the 2026 Carnival Festival.
Behind the achievement was a process that was equally meaningful. Team members exchanged ideas, shared responsibilities, and practiced together to build a strong sense of teamwork. These moments made the carnival more than just a performance; they became part of the shared experience of Insan Harita.
<figure class="image align-center"><img src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/Sosial/13092026_HN_Carnaval%20Festival%20TBP%202026_245.jpg" alt="The excitement of the 2026 Carnival Festival at Site Obi." width="720" height="480">

Harita Nickel Operations Director, Younsel Evand Roos, hopes that the spirit behind the Carnival Festival will continue to grow.
“I hope the Carnival Festival will not only serve as a place for Insan Harita to express their creativity and ideas, but also as a space to strengthen the bonds of togetherness among employees,” Younsel said.
With 17 teams taking part, the 2026 Carnival Festival became a celebration that brought different stories together on one stage. Through every concept and performance, Insan Harita showed how interests, talents, and a spirit of togetherness can come together in one meaningful moment.
From Kawasi, we embrace the world. Not only through the creativity showcased on stage, but also through the spirit of Insan Harita to keep creating, collaborating, and supporting one another. Let the spirit of the Carnival Festival continue in our daily lives, as we keep creating, keep collaborating, and together build positive energy in the spirit of “One Harita, Looking Out for One Another.”

One Stage, Many Stories: The Spirit of Insan Harita at the 2026 Carnival Festival

Amid a prolonged dry season and unpredictable weather, the Millennial Farmers’ Group in Buton Village, Obi District, has achieved a rice yield of at least 6.5 tonnes per hectare, exceeding the national target of 5.7 tonnes per hectare.
The harvest covered 12.5 hectares of farmland and was part of the “Synergy to Build the Nation” Rice Harvest Festival held on Monday (7 September). The event brought together South Halmahera Agriculture Agency Head Suryatmi Aldjokja, representatives of the Obi Agricultural Extension Centre (BPP), the sub-district leadership coordination forum (Forkopincam), and village government representatives.
Based on crop-cutting sample results conducted by the field support team, yields reached at least 6.5 tonnes per hectare across several varieties, including Inpari, upland rice and Mentik Wangi. The harvest marked the first for the Millennial Farmers’ Group, which was established earlier this year.
Group Head Ruslan Kasman said the achievement came despite challenging weather conditions. The group’s initial planting was lost after heavy rainfall, while replanting was followed by a prolonged dry season.
“We almost gave up. We are grateful for the continued support from the government and the company, including assistance with irrigation, which has helped ensure a steady water supply,” Ruslan said.
Suryatmi said the first harvest demonstrated the group’s rapid progress while contributing to food security efforts in South Halmahera. She said agricultural development is aligned with the South Halmahera Government’s Agromaritime concept, which integrates the region’s agricultural, marine and fisheries potential in a coordinated and sustainable manner.
“Support and collaboration from various stakeholders, including the private sector, are essential. We are committed to improving farmers’ welfare,” Suryatmi said, while expressing her appreciation for Harita Nickel’s continued support for local food security initiatives.
The support is provided through the Obi Food Security Centre (SENTANI). The initiative has grown from two initial farmers’ groups to three: Milenial, Akemoriri and Batu Putih. Together, they have 42 members cultivating 30 hectares of farmland.
<figure class="image align-center"><img src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/Lingkungan/07092026_HN_Panen%20Raya%20Desa%20Buton_104.jpg" alt="The Head of the South Halmahera Agriculture Agency, Suryatmi Aldjokja, performed a symbolic rice-cutting ceremony while attending the grand rice harvest in Buton Village, Obi District." width="720" height="480">
<figcaption>The Head of the South Halmahera Agriculture Agency, Suryatmi Aldjokja, performed a symbolic rice-cutting ceremony while attending the grand rice harvest in Buton Village, Obi District.</figcaption>
</figure>
This harvest season, the three groups are expected to harvest around 25 hectares. In addition to the Millennial group, Akemoriri and Batu Putih are also scheduled to harvest, with crop-cutting results from some plots exceeding 8 tonnes per hectare.
Harita Nickel Community Development Manager Broto Suwarso said the harvest amid abnormal weather conditions highlighted the importance of climate-resilient agriculture supported by local knowledge.
“Obi’s farmers have valuable local knowledge for reading weather patterns, understanding land conditions and managing water availability. This knowledge needs to be further developed to make agriculture more climate-resilient and strengthen food security,” Broto said.
Adaptation measures include selecting varieties suited to local conditions, managing irrigation on a rotational basis and using dryland areas for secondary crops. Interest in farming is also growing, with around 15 residents planning to establish a new farmers’ group.
Darwan Aduhasan, Chairman of the Pelangi Community (Pioneers of Obi Food Sovereignty) and a pioneer of agriculture in Buton Village, said this growing interest needs to be supported by an ecosystem that gives farmers greater confidence to invest in and expand their agricultural activities.
“For us, agriculture is the future, not the past. We want to build modern farmers and an agricultural sector that brings greater prosperity to the community,” he said.
The Millennial Farmers’ Group’s first harvest offers an early indication of Obi’s agricultural potential. With cross-sector collaboration, local knowledge and sustained support, agriculture can become an increasingly important contributor to food security and new economic opportunities for communities in Obi.

Obi’s Millenial Farmers Exceed National Rice Yield Target

Among Harita Nickel's diverse employees, dance has become a language that brings people together. Through traditional movement, they learn about different cultures, share stories, and build a stronger sense of togetherness.
In a workplace that brings together people from across Indonesia, Sanggar (dance studio) Masigaro offers a space to explore the nation's rich cultural heritage through dance. It is not devoted to the culture of a single region. Instead, it embraces the many art forms that its members bring and share.
The dance studio was founded on 29 November 2025. The name Masigaro comes from a local language of Ternate, North Maluku, and means "to invite." That meaning reflects the group's spirit of inviting employees to learn about, study, and preserve Indonesian culture together.
The idea came from Saddam Hi Kasim, an Industrial Relations staff member at PT Karunia Permai Sentosa (KPS), a Harita Nickel business unit. Saddam noticed that, amid busy work schedules, some employees had an interest in and experience with dance but no place to pursue it.
"I know that our colleagues here enjoy more than just basketball and singing. Some love to dance as well. So there is nothing wrong with the company providing a space for them to pursue their passion for traditional dance," said Saddam.
The invitation received a positive response. Today, about 20 employees have joined Sanggar Masigaro. They come not only from North Maluku but also from other parts of Indonesia, each with a different background and cultural experience.
<figure class="image align-center"><img src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/sorotan/image1_6.jpg" alt="The Katreji dance, a blend of local culture and European influence that is part of Maluku's history." width="720" height="480">
<figcaption>The Katreji dance, a blend of local culture and European influence that is part of Maluku's history.</figcaption>
</figure>
For Syahril Abd Rauf, one of the members, this diversity is a big part of the appeal. The dance studio has connected Syahril with colleagues who share the same interest. It has also opened the door to learning about art forms from other regions.
"I am happy to meet people who share my interest in dance. Here, I can also learn about and get to know dances from other regions that I did not know before," said Syahril.
Learning takes place in two classes, one for professionals and one for beginners. Those with experience share their knowledge, while beginners have room to learn and grow together.
That togetherness was then brought to the stage. At Herophoria #6, held to celebrate the 81st anniversary of Indonesian Independence, Sanggar Masigaro performed the Katreji dance. This art form from Maluku blends local culture with European influences.
In its latest performance, the group presented the Dendang Ba Lala dance, also known as Ba Dendang Cobo Lala. This art form belongs to the Malay cultural family and has been part of life for centuries in the territory of the Bacan Sultanate. It is a traditional cultural expression typical of South Halmahera and has been protected as communal intellectual property.
The company supports the group's growth, including by providing a rehearsal space and opportunities to perform at various company events.
<figure class="image align-center"><img src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/sorotan/image3_8.jpg" alt="The Dendang Balala dance of South Halmahera, performed at the Harita Nickel Appreciation Dinner." width="720" height="481">
<figcaption>The Dendang Balala dance of South Halmahera, performed at the Harita Nickel Appreciation Dinner.</figcaption>
</figure>
Looking ahead, Saddam hopes Sanggar Masigaro can grow into a broader platform. He envisions employees from Harita's various business units sharing their knowledge and love for regional arts.
More than a way to pursue a hobby, the dance studio has become a place where people meet. For its members, dance can be a way to learn about other cultures, strengthen fellowship, and ease the longing for their hometowns.
At Sanggar Masigaro, differences in regional origin do not remain mere differences. Through dance, employees get to know one another, share their cultures, and nurture their love for the heritage of the archipelago. That spirit also strengthens fellowship and brings to life the value of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity) and the spirit of One Harita, Looking Out for Each Other.<script src="https://cdn.n1ed.com/widgets.js?apiKey=FLMNFLMN" data-ts="1790045612802"></script>

Sanggar Masigaro: When Dance Becomes a Language That Unites

Water flows 24 hours a day as part of daily life for residents of Kawasi Village's New Settlement. From basic needs like bathing and washing to cooking, a clean water supply is available whenever it is needed.
"Water is always there for bathing, washing, and cooking. Even if I want to bathe five times a day, there is still enough," said Yunince, a resident of Kawasi Village's New Settlement.
For Tina Nomor, a small business owner in the settlement, stable access to water and electricity supports her daily activities and her business. Even though both are available around the clock, she understands the importance of using them wisely.
"Reliable water and electricity help our business a lot. Everything is provided, so it eases our daily needs. Even so, we still use only what we need," she said.
Behind this supply is a series of steps that ensure water from the Akelamo River is treated before it reaches residents' homes. Raw water is pumped through a water intake facility to the Water Purification Plant (WPP), which is operated by Harita Nickel.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/sorotan/image2_7.jpg" alt="UGM Community Service (KKN) students and a media group observed the water treatment process firsthand at the Water Purification Plant (WPP), which supplies clean water to residents of the Kawasi Village New Settlement." width="720" height="480">
<figcaption>UGM students and media observed the water treatment process firsthand at the Water Purification Plant (WPP), which supplies clean water to residents of the Kawasi Village New Settlement.</figcaption>
</figure>
At the WPP, water first goes through a clarification process in a Rectangular Clarifier. Coagulants and flocculants help settle particles out of the water. The clarified water is then held in a Reservoir Pond before undergoing disinfection with Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl) to control microorganisms.
Amiruddin, Head of Technical Support at PT Obi Sinar Timur, explained that each stage is part of the water treatment process before distribution to the community and the industrial area.
"Raw water first goes through treatment and clarification before it is distributed. Its quality is also monitored regularly," he explained.
Quality is monitored from the water source, through the treatment process, to the point of distribution. Testing is carried out by an internal team and verified periodically through an accredited external laboratory.
To meet the needs of residents in Kawasi Village's New Settlement, the WPP supplies about 42,000 cubic meters of clean water each month. The same facility also supports the industrial area's water needs, with average use of about 1.75 million cubic meters per month.
Water management does not stop at treatment and distribution. Resource efficiency is also part of the system, through the reuse of process water in operational activities.
<figure class="image align-center"><img src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/sorotan/image3_9.jpg" alt="Clean water processed from the Akelamo River flows 24 hours a day to residents' homes in the Kawasi Village New Settlement." width="720" height="421">
<figcaption>Clean water processed from the Akelamo River flows 24 hours a day to residents' homes in the Kawasi Village New Settlement.</figcaption>
</figure>
Clean water service is also provided to residents who still live in Kawasi Village's Old Settlement. Water quality in that distribution network is monitored regularly through internal testing and verified periodically by an accredited external laboratory.
For residents, the benefit feels simple: water is available when needed. Behind that flow, however, is a treatment and monitoring process that runs every day. From the Akelamo River, water passes through a series of stages before it finally flows into the homes of Kawasi residents.
This effort is part of Harita Nickel's support for expanding community access to adequate drinking water and sanitation. It also encourages the efficient and sustainable management of water resources on Obi Island.

From the Akelamo River, Clean Water Flows for Kawasi Residents

The work Harita Nickel employees do on Obi Island reaches beyond our operational areas. When connected to the needs of local communities and regional development, that work can create value well beyond the workplace.
That connection was at the heart of the Harita Nickel–North Maluku Provincial Government Synergy Meeting held in Sofifi on Thursday, 27 August 2026. The meeting strengthened collaboration across a range of areas, including infrastructure, economic empowerment, education, environmental initiatives, fisheries, and skills development for young people.
North Maluku Governor Sherly Tjoanda welcomed the partnership between Harita Nickel and the provincial government, which has been built since 2010, including the company’s contribution to creating employment opportunities and delivering benefits for local communities.
“Harita Nickel is a strategic partner for North Maluku Province. We appreciate the strong cooperation that has created many employment opportunities in North Maluku. Today, we also marked the inauguration of several projects and received various CSR contributions that will provide significant benefits,” said Sherly.
The Governor’s appreciation reflects how collaboration becomes meaningful when it translates into tangible benefits for communities.

<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Opening Doors, Creating Opportunities</h2>
One example was the symbolic inauguration of four bridges built in collaboration with local communities: the Dodoku Horikiwo Suspension Bridge in Bobo Village, along with the Rijang Bridge, Dial Bridge, and Merah Putih Sungai Doko Bridge in Gambaru Village. These infrastructure projects are expected to improve connectivity and support community activities.
In coastal communities, the Soligi fishermen’s group received a 10 GT fish carrier, built with the involvement of local fishermen and workers.
“All Soligi fishermen have an equal right to use the vessel to help increase their family incomes,” said Ibrahim, a representative of the Soligi fishermen’s group.
Collaboration is also creating opportunities for young people to build their skills and pursue new opportunities. Through the PELITA Programme, participants from Batches IV and V graduated after completing their training. Among them was Sri Ayuni Zakaria, a young woman from Soligi who completed Mandarin language training and is now undertaking an internship at Harita Nickel.
“I hope the PELITA Programme will continue and create even more opportunities for young people in Obi to grow and develop,” said Sri.
For Harita Nickel, investing in people is an important part of community empowerment. Harita Nickel President Director Roy Arman Arfandy said the company aims to create more opportunities for young people in communities around its operations to build their capabilities and play a role in the region’s future.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/sorotan/image1_3.jpg" alt="Harita Nickel's help for residents of North Maluku, South Halmahera, and Obi Island" width="720" height="480">
The collaboration also includes the opening of Harita Nickel-supported MSME outlets at the North Maluku Governor’s Office, the handover of two waste collection trucks for Ternate and South Halmahera, and a partnership with Khairun University covering education, social development, community engagement, and environmental initiatives.
These initiatives demonstrate that meaningful impact does not come from one party alone. It grows when companies, governments, communities, educational institutions, and other stakeholders work together.
Behind every collaboration are Insan Harita, each playing their respective roles. Ultimately, our contribution to North Maluku also begins with doing our work well, every day.
From Obi, our work connects to something bigger: opening opportunities, creating value, and helping shape a better future for North Maluku.

From Obi to North Maluku: Collaboration That Creates Impact

Amid the busyness of working on Obi Island, Independence is celebrated in many ways. Beyond the flag-raising ceremonies, it comes alive through laughter, creativity, and shared moments that bring Harita employees closer together.
The celebrations for the 81st Anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia began even before August, with a variety of competitions across our business units. More than simply adding to the festivities, these activities allowed Harita employees to express their creativity, connect with colleagues, and take a break from their daily routines.
The celebrations continued with flag-raising ceremonies held across each business unit. In a solemn atmosphere, Harita employees were reminded that today’s field of contribution is the workplace: from mines and processing plants to ports, workshops, and offices.
We honour Independence through meaningful work and our best efforts. From Obi, every role contributes to a larger endeavour to create value and support Indonesia’s progress. This spirit is reflected in #CaranyaHarita: putting safety first, caring for the environment, and looking out for one another as Satu Harita.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/sorotan/image2_5.jpg" alt="The flag-raising ceremony commemorating independence was held in a solemn atmosphere. " width="720" height="480">
<figcaption>The flag-raising ceremony commemorating independence was held in a solemn atmosphere.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">When Togetherness Becomes Our Strength</h2>
On the evening of 17 August, the grounds of the PT Trimegah Bangun Persada (TBP) office became a gathering place for a gala dinner themed “Together, Building Synergy for a Stronger Harita”. Employees came together with management and colleagues from other business units, sharing a variety of dishes and conversations in a relaxed setting.
“Independence celebrations are a meaningful opportunity to strengthen our sense of togetherness. We come from different backgrounds and have different roles, but we are all part of one Harita family,” said Younsel Evand Roos, Harita Nickel Operations Director.
For Agung Aribowo, Deputy Head of Technical Support at PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF), this sense of family is also reflected in everyday life.
“We come from different parts of the country, but here in Obi, we are a family. As part of that family, every Insan Harita cares for one another and is ready to help when a colleague needs support,” he said.
Mustafa Ghafur, GA Transport at PT HJF, who has worked in Obi for more than five years, has experienced this sense of togetherness first-hand.
“It is great to meet colleagues from different ethnic and regional backgrounds. At first, we did not know each other. Over time, we worked together and became like one family,” said Mustafa.
The spirit of self-expression was also evident at Herophoria at PT HJF, which provided a stage for Harita employees to showcase their talents, from traditional dance performances by Sanggar Masigaro to music and DJ performances.
Meanwhile, Sunset Merdeka at the PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL) Living Quarter offered a more relaxed setting, with local food, traditional games, and a laid-back atmosphere reminiscent of home.
The celebrations were closed with a showcase of Indonesia’s cultural diversity. At HPL, Nusantara Fest featured a fashion show highlighting traditional attire from across the country. At TBP, Karnaval Budaya returned for its fifth edition.

<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Celebrating independence from Obi Island to Jakarta</h2>
The spirit of togetherness in celebrating the 81st anniversary of Indonesia’s independence was not felt only on Obi Island. A series of celebrations was also held at Harita Nickel’s Head Office (HO) in Jakarta, featuring various competitions and a closing ceremony involving Harita staff across all business units and departments.
In Jakarta, the 81st Independence Day activities began with competitions running from early July through the end of August 2026. There were various competitions, from sports tournaments such as badminton, tennis, chess, and a fun run, to writing and content-creation competitions, fun games, and a Mobile Legends tournament. The series of activities concluded with a closing event on Friday, August 21, 2026, featuring the announcement of winners and the awarding of prizes.
This Independence Day festival is one way for Harita staff to strengthen their sense of togetherness outside of their daily work routines. The participants’ enthusiasm was evident in every match, which not only served as a platform for competition but also fostered sportsmanship, teamwork and camaraderie amongst employees, reinforcing the spirit of “One Harita, Looking Out for One Another”.
"I was really glad to take part in this year's Independence Day celebration. Besides being fun, we can take part in the competitions, the atmosphere was lively and full of togetherness. Getting to meet and gather with friends from other departments and business units was also a pleasure," shared Rendy Sipahutar, Harita Nickel Logistics Manager, who took part in the 81st Independence Day celebration at HO Jakarta.
<figure class="image"><img src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/sorotan/DSC05008.jpg" alt="Indonesian Independence Day celebrations at the Jakarta Head Office with Fun Run event." width="720" height="480">
<figcaption>Indonesian Independence Day celebrations at the Jakarta Head Office with Fun Run event.</figcaption>
</figure>
Together, these activities show that Independence celebrations are about more than festivities. Amid their daily responsibilities, Insan Harita have a space to express their creativity.
Ultimately, togetherness grows through simple things: greeting one another, sharing stories, and offering help when needed. In a place that brings together people from diverse backgrounds, this spirit of care can make life far from home feel a little closer.
“Satu Harita, Saling Menjaga” comes to life when our differences become a source of strength and everyone feels part of the same family. This is one of the ways we honour Independence: by doing our work well, taking pride in what we create, and making sure no colleague has to walk alone.

81st Indonesian Independence Day: Celebrating freedom, Strengthening Togetherness

Improvement does not always begin with a major change. Often, it starts with a simple observation at work: a process that could be made safer, time that could be saved, or a way of working that could be more effective. This is where Harita Continuous Improvement (HCI) gives Harita employees the opportunity to turn ideas into meaningful impact.
HCI is part of Harita Nickel’s effort to foster a culture of continuous improvement across the organisation. This year, HCI features two categories: Risk Mitigation &amp; Process Improvement and Productivity &amp; Cost Efficiency. Both create space for ideas that not only improve efficiency, but also strengthen safety, risk management, process quality, and operational sustainability.
Following the proposal judging stage, HCI has now moved into the presentation phase. In the Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL) business cluster, 10 proposals across the two categories have been presented. Presentations at Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF) and Trimegah Bangun Persada (TBP) are also underway, while Megah Surya Pertiwi (MSP) is scheduled to hold its presentations in early September.
The range of ideas demonstrates that opportunities to improve can be found in everyday work, from optimising processes and resources to managing risks and promoting more sustainable practices.
<h2 dir="ltr">When Improvement Becomes the Way We Work</h2>
HCI is more than a competition to select the best ideas. It encourages Harita employees to look at their work more critically, understand the root causes of challenges, and develop solutions that respond to real needs in the field.
“Continuous Improvement must be an ongoing process. We need to keep improving and never stop adapting,” said Kiagus Muhammad Firdaus, Deputy Head of Site at PT TBP.
Agung Aribowo, Deputy Head of Technical Support at PT HJF, sees HCI in much the same way. He believes its strength lies in encouraging Insan Harita to turn challenges in the field into opportunities for improvement.
“Improvement becomes more meaningful when it comes from real needs in the field. We encourage our people not only to identify problems, but also to develop solutions that can create a tangible impact on operations,” said Agung.
This spirit can be seen in the diverse ideas submitted by participants. Rivaldo Mogot, for example, submitted a proposal titled “Optimalization the Cathode Preparation Procedure to Increase Premium Product Cobalt Electrowinning.” Drawing on his experience in the work area, he sees HCI as an opportunity to further optimise an existing process.
“Through HCI, I have the opportunity to review the processes we currently carry out and identify opportunities to make them more effective. I hope the idea can go beyond being a proposal and deliver tangible benefits,” said Rivaldo.
Meanwhile, Milah Hudiyah brings an environmental perspective through her proposal, “Eco Life Compost,” which focuses on turning organic waste into compost as part of a more environmentally friendly and sustainable lifestyle.
“Through Eco Life Compost, I want to show that organic waste can still be turned into something useful. I hope this idea can encourage more environmentally conscious habits,” said Milah.
Together, these ideas show that improvement can emerge from different needs, from enhancing operational processes to promoting more sustainable practices.
Ultimately, HCI is not simply about winning a competition. It is about building the habit of asking: Is there a better way to do this?
Observation leads to ideas. Ideas create opportunities for meaningful change.
That is #CaranyaHarita to continually improving, embracing change, and turning ideas into value as Harita Nickel moves towards Operational Excellence.<script src="https://cdn.flmngr.com/widgets.js?apiKey=FLMNFLMN" data-ts="1788163623067"></script>

From Ideas to Impact: #CaranyaHarita Keeps Improving

Building a sustainable mining industry requires more than innovation at operational sites—it also depends on sharing knowledge with the next generation. Through its Harita Mengajar (Harita Teaches) programme, Harita Nickel brought its industry experts to leading universities to share practical insights, promote responsible mining practices, and strengthen collaboration between industry and academia.
The roadshow visited IPB University, Trisakti University, and Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII). Through guest lectures and interactive discussions, students gained insights into various aspects of the nickel industry, including environmental management, mining and nickel processing innovations, and the role of chemistry in supporting the global energy transition.
The programme began at the Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, IPB University. Retno Dewi Handayani, Vice President of Environmental Green Mining at Harita Nickel, shared the company's experience in biodiversity conservation and environmental management across its operations. Her presentation covered post-mining land reclamation, the development of Loji Central Nursery as a dedicated plant nursery supporting reclamation efforts, and ongoing monitoring of flora, fauna, and aquatic ecosystems.

Retno also highlighted Harita Nickel's innovation in utilising nickel slag as a soil ameliorant, which has been certified under the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 9420:2025). The initiative demonstrates how collaboration between industry and academia can drive more effective and responsible reclamation practices.
"Through well-planned, data-driven environmental management, we want to demonstrate that mining and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand. Academic forums like this provide an excellent platform to exchange knowledge while discussing both the challenges and opportunities of environmental management in the mining sector," said Retno.
The roadshow continued at the Faculty of Earth Technology and Energy, Trisakti University. Speaking to around 80 students, Iwan Syahroni, Executive Vice President of Environmental Affairs at Harita Nickel, introduced the company's integrated nickel value chain—from mining operations and processing through Rotary Kiln Electric Furnace (RKEF) and High Pressure Acid Leach (HPAL) technologies to the company's broader sustainability initiatives, including energy efficiency, solar power utilisation, coal dome facilities, and achievements in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance.

"Today's mining industry requires professionals who not only possess strong technical capabilities but also have a solid understanding of sustainability, environmental responsibility, and good governance. That is why collaboration with universities is essential to preparing the next generation for the challenges and opportunities of the future mining industry," Iwan said.
The final session was held at the Chemistry Study Programme, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII), under the theme Global Energy Transition: The Role of Chemistry and the Next Generation in Sustainable Mining. Iwan explained the critical role of chemistry in nickel processing through HPAL technology, highlighting its application in process optimisation, product quality control, water and waste management, and emissions control.
"The global energy transition presents tremendous opportunities for Indonesia's younger generation to contribute through a wide range of disciplines. We hope students will recognise that modern mining depends on cross-disciplinary collaboration to deliver innovations that support sustainable development," he added.

Harita Mengajar Roadshow Visits Three Universities to Share Responsible Mining Practices

For many young people, the future often begins with an opportunity—an opportunity to learn, develop new skills, and demonstrate their potential. Expanding these opportunities requires strong collaboration between government and industry stakeholders to prepare a competent workforce that is ready to meet the evolving demands of the industrial sector.&nbsp;
Efforts to advance human capital development in North Maluku were further strengthened during the Job Fair organized by the North Maluku Manpower and Transmigration Office (Disnakertrans). As part of the initiative, Harita Nickel and the North Maluku Provincial Government signed a cooperation agreement on vocational training and workforce placement, marking a strategic step toward enhancing local talent competitiveness and expanding employment opportunities across the province.&nbsp;
The agreement, signed by North Maluku Governor Sherly Tjoanda Laos and Latif Supriadi, Executive Vice President of External Relations at Harita Nickel, marks a joint commitment to expanding access to skills development, creating greater employment opportunities, and strengthening the competitiveness of local talent in North Maluku.&nbsp;

Governor Sherly Tjoanda Laos also expressed her appreciation for Harita Nickel’s consistent commitment to enhancing community skills through a range of workforce development programs that have been implemented continuously over the past several years.
"We would like to thank Harita Nickel for its consistent efforts, year after year, in providing workforce training opportunities for the people of North Maluku," Governor Sherly said in her remarks.
At the same time, during the job fair, Harita Nickel offered 416 job vacancies across a wide range of positions, including heavy equipment operators, mechanics, drivers, and various other operational roles. These employment opportunities serve as an important pathway for local talent to participate directly in the growth of North Maluku’s rapidly expanding industrial sector.
Yet, preparing for the future requires more than simply opening doors to employment. It begins with ensuring that young people have the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to seize those opportunities. Recognizing this, Harita Nickel has partnered with the Ternate Vocational Training and Productivity Center (BPVP Ternate) to deliver a series of capacity-building programs tailored to the evolving needs of industry.
Among these initiatives is the Youth Skills and Competency Development Program (PELITA), launched in 2023 to help bridge the gap between education and employment. Through the program, participants receive hands-on training in heavy equipment operation, overhead crane operation, and Mandarin language skills—competencies that are increasingly valuable in the industrial workplace. Today, many program alumni have successfully transitioned into the workforce, demonstrating how targeted skills development can create lasting pathways to employment and career growth.
For communities across island regions such as Obi Island and other areas of North Maluku, vocational training programs represent more than just skills development initiatives. They serve as a gateway to broader opportunities, helping individuals enhance their competitiveness while preparing the younger generation to navigate the challenges and opportunities of the future.
By expanding access to relevant skills and practical experience, these programs empower local communities to participate more actively in regional economic growth and contribute meaningfully to the development of North Maluku’s evolving industrial landscape.
Harita Nickel’s Executive Vice President of External Relations, Latif Supriadi, emphasized that human capital development remains a key pillar of the company’s commitment to growing alongside the communities where it operates.
"Our success as a company is closely linked to our ability to grow together with the communities around us. When the young people of North Maluku are able to develop their potential and build brighter futures, it is also a source of pride for us," said Latif.

He added that investing in skills development and workforce readiness is not only about meeting industry needs, but also about creating sustainable opportunities that enable local communities to participate in and benefit from the region’s ongoing economic growth.
The spirit of collaboration was also welcomed by Marwan Polisiri, Head of the North Maluku Manpower and Transmigration Office (Disnakertrans). According to him, strong synergy between the government and industry is a strategic step toward strengthening the capabilities of the local workforce while expanding access to quality employment opportunities for the community.
Through this partnership, the prospect of nurturing more competent, adaptable, and competitive local talent continues to grow. After all, development is not measured solely by industrial growth, but also by the extent to which young people are given opportunities to learn, contribute, and become active participants in shaping a more prosperous future for North Maluku.
