<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">On a morning in late August 2026, dozens of young people from Obi Island stood before representatives of the North Maluku Provincial Government. They had just completed the fourth and fifth batches of the Youth Skills Training Program (Program Pelatihan Keterampilan Pemuda or PELITA).</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">For them, the PELITA graduation ceremony marked the completion of one stage of their journey. For some, however, the training was also the beginning of new opportunities to enter the workforce, develop their skills, and build a future in their home region.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Through its fifth batch, PELITA has graduated 122 young people from communities surrounding Harita Nickel’s operational areas. The program offers various vocational competencies, ranging from heavy equipment operation and Mandarin language training to air conditioning (AC) maintenance.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">The initiative has also received recognition from the North Maluku Provincial Government. Attending the graduation ceremony, North Maluku Vice Governor Sarbin Sehe highlighted the importance of partnerships between the government and private sector in strengthening the capabilities of the younger generation and creating more opportunities for local communities.</p>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/base64/page_1794442944_eKUkHEWf7Z.jpeg" alt="Wisuda PELITA Batch V" width="850" height="566">
<figcaption>Graduation of PELITA Batch V</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Opening Pathways to Employment</h2>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">For 19-year-old La Difan Rifai, PELITA provided an opportunity to acquire new skills. Having previously helped his parents with farming, he now has the qualifications to work as a residential AC technician after completing training in collaboration with the Ternate Vocational Training and Productivity Center (BPVP Ternate).</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">“After completing this training, I hope to work for a company or start my own AC repair business,” he said.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">A different journey comes from Syifa Sahbila, a graduate of PELITA’s third batch. After choosing Mandarin language training, she is now undertaking an internship in the HRGA Department of PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel. She applies the skills she acquired to translate documents and support communication in the field.</p>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/base64/page_1794442944_prHHPaVvdQ.jpeg" alt="Wakil Gubernur Maluku Utara memberikan Sertifikasi" width="850" height="566">
<figcaption>Certificate Given from Governance of North Maluku</figcaption>
</figure>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">“I am happy to have this opportunity because I can put what I have learned into practice,” she said.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">The experiences of La Difan and Syifa demonstrate how vocational training can create meaningful opportunities to continue learning, gain practical experience, and explore career prospects.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Beyond Job Readiness</h2>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Talent development also continues through the Mechanic Talent Pool Program (MTPP), which provides local youth with opportunities to acquire mechanical skills before entering the workforce.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Mulyono La Hasima is one of its participants. After completing five months of mechanical training, he and nine other young people from Obi were given the opportunity to work as mechanics at PT Trimegah Bangun Persada, Harita Nickel’s mining operating unit.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Today, Mulyono works as an Auto Electrician, handling the electrical systems of heavy equipment.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">“Skills are important. When we have the right expertise, we have more opportunities to work and grow,” he said.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Development opportunities do not end once individuals secure employment. Several local workers who previously held non-skilled positions and participated in heavy equipment operator training through PELITA’s first and second batches have since had the opportunity to work as certified operators.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Similar opportunities for career advancement are also available through the Green Development Program (GDP) at PT Halmahera Persada Lygend. The program provides upskilling opportunities for non-skilled employees, strengthening their technical competencies and understanding of workplace safety. Some participants have subsequently progressed in their careers, advancing to positions such as foreman and supervisor.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">These journeys demonstrate that developing local talent goes beyond preparing individuals to enter the workforce. It requires a continuous process of strengthening competencies, expanding experience, and creating opportunities for long-term growth.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">The future of Obi’s industry is not built solely through investment and production facilities. Behind this growth are people who need to be equipped with the right skills, given opportunities, and continuously supported in their development.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">When young people in Obi have the skills and opportunities to grow, they become more than just part of the industry. They become an integral part of their region’s future.</p>

Developing Local Talent, Preparing for the Future of Obi’s Industry

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">The growth of the nickel industry is bringing significant changes to North Maluku. Amid the expansion of industrial estates and processing facilities, one aspect must remain central: the people who work in the industry and the communities living in the surrounding areas.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">For this reason, the success of downstream nickel processing should not be measured solely by production capacity and investment. It must also reflect worker safety, respect for community rights, and responsible environmental management.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">This perspective was highlighted in a Human Rights (HR) audit of nickel companies in North Maluku, conducted by the SETARA Institute for Democracy and Peace in collaboration with the Sustainable-Inclusive Governance Initiative (SIGI). Among the five companies assessed, Harita Nickel recorded the highest composite score of 63.60, making it the only company to achieve the Established category.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">This achievement was supported by several governance foundations that received positive assessments from SETARA, including human rights policies, ethics and anti-corruption measures, security, stakeholder engagement, responsible sourcing, and the implementation of Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD).</p>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/base64/page_1794445001_lo1vVadFPd.jpeg" alt="Sumber: http://setara-institute.org" width="850" height="374">
<figcaption>Source:&nbsp;<a href="http://setara-institute.org">setara-institute.org</a></figcaption>
</figure>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">At the operational level, these principles are reflected in grievance mechanisms for employees and communities, occupational safety systems for employees and contractors, as well as environmental management initiatives through the Dry Stack Tailing Facility (DSTF), sedimentation ponds, mine reclamation, and emissions monitoring.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">These governance practices continue to be tested through independent assessments. One of them is the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA) audit, which is currently at the Corrective Action Plan (CAP) stage. This phase provides an opportunity to address findings and strengthen the practices required to improve performance.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">Beyond the Numbers</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Behind the score of 63.60 lies a more tangible measure of how the industry should grow.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">“The success of nickel downstream processing is ultimately reflected in actual conditions on the ground: workers can carry out their duties and return home safely, communities retain proper access to their livelihoods, and the environment remains well protected,” said SETARA Institute Executive Director Halili Hasan.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">According to Halili, strengthening human rights and environmental governance is essential to ensuring that Indonesian nickel remains competitive and sustainable.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Therefore, achieving the Established category is not the finish line. SETARA recommends strengthening remedy mechanisms for affected communities and the environment, including greater transparency in grievance resolution and preventive measures to ensure that similar issues do not recur.</p>
<figure class="image align-center"><img src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/base64/page_1794445001_72RIccJRDN.jpeg" alt="Konsolidasi Skor dan Tingkat Kematangan Akhir" width="850" height="339">
<figcaption>Harita Nickel achieved the highest score and the only one company with established level based on audit results of Setara Institute &amp; SIGI.&nbsp;</figcaption>
</figure>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">SETARA also encourages cumulative impact assessments across industrial areas. Given the close interaction between mining operations, smelters, power plants, and coastal areas in North Maluku, the impacts of industrial activities need to be assessed from a broader, integrated perspective.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">“Without continuous improvement, Indonesian nickel could lose its competitive edge,” Halili said.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">Established as a Starting Point</span></h2>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">For Harita Nickel, these recommendations are part of its ongoing improvement journey.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Harita Nickel President Director Roy Arman Arfandy stated that the results of SETARA's audit serve as motivation for the company to continue improving its practices. The same commitment is reflected in the ongoing IRMA audit process, which remains at the CAP stage as the company works to address findings and strengthen the necessary practices.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Ultimately, the Established recognition is more than just a position in an assessment. It reflects the governance foundations that have been established while serving as a reminder that good governance must be continuously demonstrated through concrete actions.</p>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/base64/page_1794445001_gtKwH3KKBY.jpeg" alt="Penyamapaian Keluhan Masyarakat di bantu oleh Harita Nickel" width="850" height="566">
<figcaption>Community members can submit complaints directly through the community grievance service post or by phone.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">On Obi Island, these principles are reflected in everyday practices: ensuring workers return home safely, providing communities with opportunities to voice their concerns and aspirations, and protecting the environment amid the evolving dynamics of the industrial area.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Because as the industry continues to grow, its success should not be measured only by the scale of what is built, but also by how well people and the environment are protected throughout the journey.</p>

Putting People First Amid the Growth of the Nickel Industry

<p dir="ltr">Access to clean drinking water is a basic necessity that has a direct impact on public health and quality of life. In an effort to support this need, Harita Nickel, in collaboration with the Kawasi Village Government, has established a water treatment facility equipped with Reverse Osmosis (RO) technology in Kawasi Village, Obi Island, South Halmahera, North Maluku.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The facility was inaugurated by South Halmahera Regent Hasan Ali Bassam Kasuba on Wednesday (October 28, 2026), in the presence of local government officials and Harita Nickel management. It complements the existing Water Treatment Plant (WTP), further strengthening the water supply infrastructure available to the community.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With a raw water treatment capacity of 40 cubic metres per day, the facility incorporates several treatment stages, including automated filtration, reverse osmosis membrane technology, and disinfection using ultraviolet (UV) light and ozone. These combined processes are designed to improve water quality, enabling the treated water to be used as a source of drinking water for local residents.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="width: auto; height: auto;" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Teknologi%20RO%20Air%20Minum%20Harita%20Nickel.jpg" alt="" width="2000" height="1333">
<figcaption><em>The facility, with a raw water treatment capacity of 40 cubic metres per day, combines automated filtration, RO membranes, and UV and ozone disinfection to improve water quality.</em></figcaption>
</figure>
<p dir="ltr">At the inauguration ceremony, Regent Hasan Ali Bassam Kasuba commended the collaboration between Harita Nickel and the Kawasi Village Government. He emphasised that meeting basic needs, including access to clean water, is an important part of regional development, alongside economic growth.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Access to clean water is essential to people's daily lives. We appreciate the establishment of this water treatment facility and the technology it brings. We hope similar technologies can be introduced and implemented in other areas across South Halmahera,” he said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">South Halmahera Regional Drinking Water Company (PDAM) Director Soleman Bobote also welcomed the initiative. He described the use of RO and membrane technology as a positive step towards improving raw water quality in areas surrounding the industrial complex. However, he emphasised that the facility's long-term benefits would depend on proper operation, regular maintenance, and routine water quality monitoring.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Local resident Ahmad Sabar also expressed his support for the facility. He described the provision of water infrastructure as a long-term investment in public health. He added that regular maintenance and collective awareness of the importance of protecting water resources would be essential to ensuring that residents could continue to benefit from the facility.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="width: auto; height: auto;" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Peresmian%20Reverse%20Osmosis%20Harita%20Nickel.jpg" alt="" width="2000" height="1333">

<p dir="ltr">The RO facility is part of Harita Nickel's efforts to support access to basic services and improve the quality of life of communities in and around its operational areas. Collaboration with local governments, village authorities, and other stakeholders is essential to ensuring that the infrastructure delivers lasting benefits to the community.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Beyond introducing water treatment technology, the initiative is expected to strengthen Kawasi residents' access to drinking water and contribute to improved living conditions in the village.</p><script src="https://cdn.n1ed.com/widgets.js?apiKey=FLMNFLMN" data-ts="1794351057782"></script>

Harita Nickel’s Reverse Osmosis Facility Strengthens Drinking Water Access in Kawasi

<p dir="ltr">Around 1,500 Harita Nickel personnel and residents of Kawasi village took part in a large-scale emergency response exercise on Obi Island, with local authorities joining efforts to strengthen coordination and disaster preparedness.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Located relatively far from major emergency assistance centres, Obi Island requires specific measures to ensure readiness in the event of an emergency. The ability to respond swiftly and in a coordinated manner is therefore essential for both the company and surrounding communities.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As part of these efforts, Harita Nickel once again held its Large Scale Exercise (LSE), a large-scale emergency response drill. The exercise brought together employee representatives from all business units operating in the Obi Industrial Area, along with residents of Kawasi Village. It was designed to test emergency response procedures and strengthen coordination among stakeholders in addressing various potential emergency situations.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="width: auto; height: auto;" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/05112026_HN_Drill%20LSE%20Kawasi_36.jpg" alt="" width="7008" height="4672">
<figcaption><em>Harita Nickel’s medical team provides assistance to a simulated victim during an emergency response exercise in Kawasi village, Obi Island.</em></figcaption>
</figure>
<p dir="ltr">Harita Nickel's Vice President of OHS &amp; Management System, Supriyanto Suwarno, said the exercise was designed based on the characteristics of the company's operational area and evaluations of previous exercises. Potential emergencies may arise from both operational activities and natural hazards, making it essential to continuously strengthen personnel readiness and community support.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“In an emergency, no party can act alone. Everyone needs to work together to ensure an effective response,” he said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This year's exercise involved approximately 1,500 personnel undertaking various roles, from planning and management to incident control and evacuation. The scenarios covered potential emergencies arising from natural disasters and operational incidents, with a focus on landslide-prone areas, residential settlements and power generation facilities. The exercise also took into account developments in the operational area, including newly established facilities that had not been covered in previous drills.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Head of Prevention and Preparedness at the South Halmahera Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), Riski Triandini ASM, ST, highlighted the importance of such exercises in ensuring that personnel understand their respective procedures and responsibilities during emergencies. He also noted improvements in participants' understanding compared with the previous year's exercise.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Exercises like this help test procedures while familiarising personnel with the appropriate responses, enabling them to act quickly and effectively without panicking,” he said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">According to Riski, regular exercises are essential to maintaining these capabilities. Community preparedness also deserves attention, as residents living near operational areas may be directly affected when a disaster occurs.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In Kawasi Village, community involvement has been further strengthened through the establishment of the Village Disaster Preparedness Team (Tim Siaga Bencana Desa or TSBD). Kawasi Village Secretary Frans Datang welcomed the LSE, noting that it provided residents with an opportunity to better understand the steps they should take in an emergency.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Yunince, one of the residents who participated in the exercise, expressed hope that similar activities would be held regularly to help the community become more familiar with emergency response and self-evacuation procedures.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“I hope exercises like this can be held every year so that residents always remember what to do when a disaster occurs,” she said.</p>

<figcaption><em>Personnel from the regional disaster management agency (BPBD), Harita Nickel’s Disaster Preparedness Team and the Kawasi Village Disaster Preparedness Team attend a briefing ahead of an emergency response exercise on Obi Island.</em></figcaption>
</figure>
<p dir="ltr">From the provincial government, Policy Technical Reviewer at the North Maluku Provincial Disaster Management Agency, Gamal Hadi, ST, MPA, emphasised that disaster preparedness requires the involvement of multiple stakeholders, including businesses and local communities. He also encouraged improvements in early warning system coverage, the provision of backup systems in the event of power outages, and broader communication of emergency procedures to ensure they are understood by all employees and community members.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Feedback from BPBD will contribute to evaluations aimed at improving preparedness for future exercises. Through the LSE, Harita Nickel seeks to continuously strengthen emergency procedures, coordination and the allocation of responsibilities. In doing so, the company aims to build preparedness not only across its operational environment but also among the communities living in its surrounding areas.</p>

Harita Nickel, BPBD and Communities Strengthen Disaster Preparedness on Obi Island

<p dir="ltr">Environmental restoration requires long-term commitment and sustained action. In support of the National Ecological Repentance Movement (Gerakan Nasional Tobat Ekologis), Harita Nickel carried out a tree-planting initiative at the former Pit Anyer mining area on Obi Island, on Wednesday (November 4, 2026).</p>
<p dir="ltr">The initiative forms part of the company's efforts to restore post-mining land through reclamation and revegetation. The trees selected were suited to local environmental conditions and included cemara laut, ketapang, mebau, kayu putih and kenari species native to Obi Island.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Harita Nickel's Operations Director, Younsel Evand Roos, emphasized that tree planting reflects the company's commitment to responsible mining practices.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“This is not merely a tree-planting activity, but part of our commitment to responsible mining practices,” Younsel said.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="width: auto; height: auto;" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/mceu_77115979421794294507101.jpg" alt="" width="1500" height="999">
<figcaption><em>Harita Nickel Operations Director Younsel Evand Roos takes part in tree planting activities in support of the National Ecological Repentance Movement</em></figcaption>
</figure>
<p dir="ltr">Harita Nickel's Environmental Manager, Dedy Amrin, explained that the National Ecological Repentance Movement is a government initiative aimed at encouraging large-scale reclamation efforts. To achieve the targets, the activities will be implemented in phases through the end of 2031.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“The Ecological Repentance Movement is a government program to carry out large-scale reclamation. Harita Nickel has been tasked with undertaking reclamation and revegetation across 180 hectares. Therefore, we have divided the implementation into several phases through the end of 2031,” Dedy explained.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Beyond its support for the initiative, Harita Nickel continues to implement various environmental restoration programs. To date, the company has reclaimed 272 hectares of post-mining land and rehabilitated 2,591 hectares of watershed areas.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Ecosystem restoration efforts also extend to coastal and marine areas, including the cumulative installation of approximately 2,185 artificial reef units and the planting of 72,031 mangrove seedlings since 2022.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The company's commitment to environmental management is also reflected in its Blue PROPER rating from the Ministry of Environment, which recognizes the company's compliance with applicable environmental management laws and regulations.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Within the workplace, environmental awareness is also encouraged as part of Insan Harita's daily habits. Dedy noted that caring for the environment is not limited to reclamation programs or large-scale initiatives, but can also begin with simple actions taken by individuals.</p>
<figure class="image"><img style="width: auto; height: auto;" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Gerakan%20Nasional%20Tobat%20Ekologis.jpg" alt="" width="1500" height="1001">
<figcaption><em>Tree planting at the former mining site reflects Harita Nickel’s commitment to responsible mining practices</em></figcaption>
</figure>
<p dir="ltr">“Protecting the environment can start right around us. For example, we can make use of open spaces around our residential facilities to grow trees or vegetables, as well as use water and electricity responsibly. These simple actions should become shared habits,” Dedy said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Through these initiatives, Harita Nickel continues to strengthen its environmental responsibility, both in its operational activities and within the workplace. The spirit of the National Ecological Repentance Movement serves as a reminder that restoring nature requires collective participation and consistent efforts to safeguard natural resources for future generations.</p>

</figure>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">At the bazaar, ten local MSMEs offered a variety of traditional foods and snacks from Obi and North Maluku. Women entrepreneurs supported by Harita Nickel also showcased their products, including Obi Snack and nutmeg-based specialties.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">The enthusiastic response from visitors resulted in all products selling out in less than an hour.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">Showcasing Obi Island’s Marine Potential</span></h2>

Residents and employees then gathered to enjoy the meals together.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Harita Nickel VP of Environmental Marine, Windy Prayogo, emphasized the importance of preserving the island's cultural and natural heritage.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">“For us, Obi Island is more than just a place where the company operates. It is also home to communities whose culture, potential, and sense of togetherness deserve to be continuously preserved and nurtured,” he said.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Through Festival Harmoni Obi 2026, local communities and Harita Nickel shared a space to celebrate cultural heritage, support local enterprises, and showcase Obi Island’s marine richness. The spirit of togetherness reflected in the festival also reinforced a shared commitment to protecting the island’s natural environment and preserving its local traditions.</p>

Festival Harmoni Obi 2026 Celebrates Culture and Promotes Marine Conservation

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Obi Island in South Halmahera, North Maluku, is known for more than its abundant nickel resources. Its surrounding coastal and marine areas are home to diverse forms of marine life, ranging from coral reefs to various species of reef fish.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Marine biodiversity plays an important role in maintaining ecosystem balance. The greater the variety of organisms within an ecosystem, the more ecological interactions take place among them.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">For coastal regions such as Obi Island, marine ecosystems are also closely connected to local communities. The sea serves as a source of livelihood, a place for daily activities, and an integral part of the environment in which people live. Therefore, maintaining healthy marine ecosystems is also part of ensuring environmental sustainability on Obi Island.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Exploring the Marine Biodiversity of Obi Island</h2>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">The waters surrounding<a href="https://tbpnickel.com/id/kondisi-laut-obi-dan-pengelolaan-lingkungan-harita-nickel"> Obi Island</a> are part of a coastal ecosystem that supports a wide variety of marine life. Coral reefs, reef fish, mangroves, and other marine organisms are interconnected within this ecosystem.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">One of the most recognizable and interesting groups of marine life is reef fish. Different species have distinct shapes, colors, sizes, and characteristics. Their presence is also closely linked to the condition of their natural habitats.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Coral Reefs as Habitats for Marine Life</h3>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Coral reefs are more than just a beautiful underwater landscape. These ecosystems provide places for various marine organisms to live, find food, seek shelter, and reproduce.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Healthy coral reef conditions can support the survival of many marine species living in the surrounding waters. Therefore, protecting coral reefs also means maintaining an essential part of the marine ecosystem.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">In the waters around Obi Island, coral reef ecosystems are an important part of the region's marine biodiversity that deserves greater recognition and continued protection.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Various Species of Reef Fish in Obi Waters</h3>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">The waters surrounding Obi Island are home to a wide variety of marine life, contributing to the richness of its underwater ecosystems. From different fish species to other marine organisms, each has its own characteristics and role in maintaining ecosystem balance. Some species are particularly fascinating to discover, including tiger sharks and Napoleon wrasse.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Another important group of marine life in Obi's waters is reef fish. These fish are closely associated with coral reef ecosystems, which serve as their natural habitats.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">The<a href="https://tbpnickel.com/id/keanekaragaman-hayati-laut-obi-dari-hiu-macan-hingga-ikan-napoleon"> diversity of reef fish</a> offers a glimpse into the rich marine life beneath the ocean's surface. Each species has distinct characteristics and plays its own role within the ecosystem.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Getting to know different reef fish species is therefore about more than simply learning their names or identifying their appearance. It can also help deepen our understanding of the richness and condition of Obi Island's marine ecosystems.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Interconnected Coastal Ecosystems</h3>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Marine biodiversity does not exist in isolation. Marine ecosystems are interconnected with other coastal ecosystems, including mangrove areas.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Mangroves provide habitats for various organisms while serving important ecological functions in coastal areas. Meanwhile, coral reef ecosystems provide habitats for a wide range of marine life, including reef fish.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">The interconnected nature of these ecosystems means that coastal conservation efforts need to take a comprehensive approach rather than focusing on just one species or a single area.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Harita Nickel's Efforts to Protect Obi Island's Marine Biodiversity</h2>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Protecting biodiversity requires a continuous effort. A single conservation activity is not enough; ongoing monitoring, environmental management, habitat restoration, and the involvement of various stakeholders are also necessary.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">As part of its operations on Obi Island, Harita Nickel carries out various environmental management initiatives covering coastal and marine ecosystems.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">1. Marine Ecosystem Monitoring</h3>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Monitoring is an important part of environmental management. By regularly assessing ecosystem conditions, changes in the environment can be identified and used as a basis for determining appropriate management measures.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Marine ecosystem monitoring can also help assess the condition of coral reefs and the organisms living within them. This data and information are essential for understanding the dynamics of marine ecosystems around operational areas.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Through this approach, environmental management does not rely solely on occasional observations but takes into account ecosystem conditions over time.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">2. Protecting Coral Reef Ecosystems</h3>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Coral reefs are among the ecosystems that play an important role in supporting marine life. Since they provide habitats for various organisms, maintaining their condition is also part of protecting marine biodiversity.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">One of Harita Nickel's<a href="https://tbpnickel.com/id/cara-harita-nickel-menjaga-laut-obi-yang-kaya-terumbu-karang-dan-ikan"> initiatives</a> involves providing and developing habitats through the use of<a href="https://tbpnickel.com/id/harita-nickel-komitmen-jaga-laut-obi-lewat-program-terumbu-karang-buatan"> reef cubes</a>.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Reef cubes are artificial structures placed in marine environments as part of efforts to support habitat development for marine organisms. In the context of conservation, structures like these can contribute to marine ecosystem management and restoration efforts.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">These initiatives are complemented by ecosystem monitoring to observe changes in marine environmental conditions and the development of marine life in the area.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">3. Paying Attention to Reef Fish Populations</h3>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">The presence of reef fish is closely linked to the condition of their habitats. When discussing reef fish, it is equally important to consider coral reefs as the ecosystems that support their lives.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Recognizing the presence and diversity of reef fish is therefore part of gaining a more comprehensive understanding of marine ecosystems.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Information about reef fish in the waters around Obi Island has also been documented through the publication of a book titled <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/id/buku-ikan-karang-jendela-melihat-ekosistem-laut-obi">The Beauty of the Coastal Waters of Western Obi Island – Series I: Reef Fish, A Captivating Mosaic of Marine Life.&nbsp;</a></p>
<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">4. Protecting Mangrove Ecosystems in Coastal Areas</h3>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Efforts to protect coastal biodiversity are also closely connected to the presence of mangrove ecosystems.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://tbpnickel.com/id/mengenal-mangrove-fungsi-manfaat-dan-upaya-pelestariannya-di-pulau-obi">Mangroves</a> serve important ecological functions in coastal areas and provide habitats for various organisms. These ecosystems are also interconnected with the surrounding marine environment.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">For this reason, mangrove conservation and rehabilitation are another important part of efforts to maintain coastal environments around Obi Island.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Harita Nickel also carries out mangrove conservation activities in several areas, including planting and maintaining mangrove habitats in collaboration with local communities and relevant stakeholders.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">5. Involving Local Communities in Conservation</h3>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Environmental conservation requires more than activities in the field. Local knowledge and community involvement also play an important role in maintaining ecosystem sustainability.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">That is why environmental education and community-based activities are part of the conservation approach. These initiatives help local communities become more familiar with their surrounding environment, including the different species and ecosystems found in coastal areas.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">By gaining a better understanding of their natural surroundings, communities can access more information and become more involved in protecting the ecosystems around them.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Discover Obi Island's Marine Biodiversity Through the Reef Fish Book</h2>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Protecting biodiversity is not limited to conservation activities in the field. Documenting and introducing natural wealth to the public is also an important way to build greater environmental awareness.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">This is one of the reasons behind the publication of the book<a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXapvFJCeC9/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;stkn=MzRlODBiNWFlZA=="> </a><a href="https://tbpnickel.com/id/buku-ikan-karang-jendela-melihat-ekosistem-laut-obi">The Beauty of the Coastal Waters of Western Obi Island – Series I: Reef Fish, A Captivating Mosaic of Marine Life.&nbsp;</a></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">The book documents various reef fish species found along the western coastal waters of Obi Island. Its publication offers a way to introduce Obi's underwater biodiversity to a wider audience and help readers become more familiar with the marine life found in the area.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Protecting Obi Island's Marine Biodiversity for the Future</h2>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Obi Island's waters are home to a rich variety of marine life. From coral reefs and reef fish to other coastal ecosystems, each plays an interconnected role in maintaining environmental balance.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Protecting marine biodiversity therefore requires continuous attention and collaboration among various stakeholders.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Through environmental monitoring, conservation activities, ecosystem management, community involvement, and biodiversity documentation, efforts to protect Obi's marine environment can be carried out from different perspectives.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Ultimately, getting to know Obi Island's marine biodiversity is an important first step toward protecting it. The more people understand the marine life found in these waters, the greater the opportunity to foster awareness and care for Obi Island's marine and coastal environments.</p>

Exploring Obi Island’s Marine Biodiversity and Harita Nickel’s Conservation Efforts

<p dir="ltr">In carrying out its operations, managing social and environmental aspects requires the involvement of various functions across the company. Each department brings a different role and perspective, yet their responsibilities are interconnected, particularly when addressing issues involving communities and stakeholders around operational areas.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For this reason, a shared understanding across departments is essential. Open communication, the ability to understand community perspectives, and effective coordination can help each team identify and respond to issues more appropriately.</p>
<p dir="ltr">To support this effort, Harita Nickel’s Sustainability Team, in collaboration with Daemeter Consulting, conducted a series of internal capacity-building sessions from May to September 2026. The program was designed to strengthen Harita employees’ understanding and capabilities in managing social and environmental issues, particularly in engaging with communities and stakeholders.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Throughout 2026, we conducted seven Internal Capacity Building sessions, each covering a different but interconnected topic. We hope participants gained a broader understanding of these subjects and how the material relates to their respective roles and responsibilities,” said Klaus Oberbauer, Sustainability Manager at Harita Nickel.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The seven sessions covered various international standards and practices, including the IFC Performance Standards and IRMA Standard, social conflict resolution, biodiversity conservation, and human rights impact assessment and due diligence. Other topics included corporate relations, corporate philanthropy, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and Creating Shared Value (CSV).</p>
<p dir="ltr">The sessions used an interactive learning approach that combined presentations, discussions, case studies, and examples based on operational contexts. This approach helped participants connect the concepts they learned with situations they might encounter in their daily work, including understanding social issues, communicating technical information in accessible language, and considering stakeholder perspectives.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The program involved more than 70 participants from various internal functions, including Environment, Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), Security, External Relations, Human Resources and General Affairs (HRGA), Sustainability, and Production. This cross-functional participation provided opportunities for employees to exchange perspectives, better understand other departments’ roles, and strengthen coordination in addressing social and environmental issues.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“With a more aligned understanding, we can coordinate more effectively, communicate information consistently, and consider different perspectives before taking action. This learning can serve as a foundation for each team in carrying out its day-to-day responsibilities,” Klaus added.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Strengthening internal capacity is not only about understanding standards and concepts, but also about building a more integrated way of working. Through learning and cross-functional collaboration, Harita employees can be better prepared to foster open and constructive communication with communities.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Meaningful community engagement begins with internal readiness to understand, listen, and work together.</p>

Capacity Building: Strengthening Collaboration Among Harita Employees in Managing Social and Environmental Issues

<p dir="ltr">Mining and processing activities sometimes involve high-risk materials, including hazardous and toxic substances (Bahan Berbahaya dan Beracun, or B3). If not properly managed, these materials can pose risks to workers, communities, and the environment due to properties such as flammability or corrosiveness. Therefore, managing hazardous materials is an important part of Harita Nickel’s Critical Safety Compliance Protocol (CSCP).</p>
<p dir="ltr">To ensure that work is carried out safely, every Harita employee must understand and apply the six CSCP safety aspects before, during, and after work. These aspects cover competency, document readiness, hazard and risk control, equipment and requirements, critical aspects management, and management review.</p>
<p dir="ltr">First, competency. Hazardous materials must be handled by workers who have received the necessary training and hold certifications appropriate to their job requirements. Training covers hazardous material identification, B3 waste management, spill and B3 waste handling, and emergency response. Work involving radioactive materials and ionizing radiation also requires specialized training in accordance with applicable requirements. Ensure that you understand the hazards associated with the materials you handle, how to handle them safely, and what actions to take in an emergency. Do not perform work beyond your competence or authorization.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Second, document readiness. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for hazardous material and B3 waste management, as well as emergency response, must be available and understood by relevant personnel. Environmental documents, permits, inventory records, B3 waste balance records, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and B3 waste manifests must also be available as required. Before starting work, ensure that the necessary documents are available and used as references for understanding material hazards, safe handling practices, and the steps to follow in the event of a spill or emergency.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Third, hazard and risk control. Inventories and stock records for B3 materials, as well as B3 waste balance records, must be updated regularly to ensure that material types, quantities, and records remain accurate. Ensure that materials are clearly labeled and stored in accordance with applicable requirements. Routine inspections of storage areas must also be conducted to verify that containers are not damaged or leaking, floors are in good condition, signs are properly displayed, and spill control facilities are available and ready for use in accordance with SOPs. If you find a leaking container, an unclear label, or an unsafe storage condition, report it promptly to the relevant personnel and secure the area in accordance with applicable procedures before the condition results in exposure or environmental contamination.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Fourth, equipment and requirements. Ensure that supporting facilities and equipment are available, functioning properly, and inspected in accordance with applicable requirements. These include portable fire extinguishers, spill kits for spill response, secondary containment to contain leaks and prevent them from spreading, emergency washing facilities such as emergency showers and eyewash stations, rescue equipment, and calibrated gas-testing instruments. Storage facilities and all supporting equipment must be maintained according to schedule. Before starting work, ensure that the required equipment is available and ready for use. In the event of a spill or exposure, follow emergency response procedures and use the equipment in accordance with your training and authorization.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In B3 storage areas, ventilation systems must function properly to help prevent the accumulation of hazardous gases or vapors. Gas testing must also be conducted in accordance with established procedures to detect hazardous gases at an early stage. Do not assume an area is safe simply because hazardous gases or vapors cannot be seen or smelled. Follow gas-testing results and applicable safety requirements before entering or working in the area.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Fifth, critical aspects management. Hazardous material management affects not only workers in operational areas but may also affect surrounding communities and the environment. Therefore, B3 and B3 waste storage locations must comply with applicable regulatory requirements regarding their distance from residential areas. As part of emergency preparedness, the company also conducts awareness sessions, training, and emergency response drills involving communities and relevant stakeholders. These activities are coordinated by the External Relations Team, with support from the Emergency Response Team (ERT) in emergency response, the Environment Team in managing environmental impacts, and the Security Team in securing areas and controlling access. This collaboration aims to ensure that each party understands its role and can respond in a coordinated manner if an incident occurs, such as a hazardous material spill or leak that could affect areas beyond the operational site.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sixth, management review. CSCP implementation must be reviewed regularly, including whenever changes in regulations, business strategies, or other conditions may affect operational safety, social aspects, or the environment. The review covers B3 and B3 waste management, spill control, and emergency preparedness. Audits and assessments must also be conducted at least once a year by personnel who have received the required training and formal assignment letters. All findings must be followed up to strengthen the effectiveness of controls, reduce the likelihood of recurring incidents, and continuously improve safety performance.</p>
<p dir="ltr">By ensuring that workers have the appropriate competencies, documents are available and understood, hazards are controlled, equipment is ready for use, and emergency preparedness is maintained, every Harita employee can contribute to ensuring that hazardous materials are managed safely and responsibly.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Understand the risks. Control the hazards. Stop work if it is unsafe.</p><script src="https://cdn.n1ed.com/widgets.js?apiKey=FLMNFLMN" data-ts="1793347544867"></script>
