Harita Nickel's commitment to responsible and sustainable mining practices has earned appreciation from various parties. The Coordinator of the Mining Advocacy Consortium (KATAM) for North Maluku, Muhlis Ibrahim, stated that the presence of the integrated nickel mining and downstream processing company operating on Obi Island has made a positive contribution to the region’s economic growth.
This statement was made after his visit to the Harita Nickel site in Kawasi Village, Obi District, South Halmahera Regency, from April 19 to 21, 2025.

“I see a lot of changes compared to my last visit in 2022. Most notably, infrastructure development. This has significantly narrowed the infrastructure gap between villages and shortened the long economic chain,” said the mining practitioner.

During his second visit, one of the things that caught his attention was Harita Nickel’s Community Development and Empowerment Program (PPM) through the Community Entrepreneurship Unit (UNIKK). It was recorded that the turnover from seven Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)&mdash;consisting of 42 local residents from two villages surrounding the company's operations&mdash;reached IDR 5 billion per year. These business units, primarily managed by housewives, operate in the culinary sector, ranging from supplying snacks to processing derivative products from nutmeg and soybeans, to managing cafés and mini-markets within the company’s area.

“The company not only equips residents with knowledge but also provides access to markets. Now, it's up to the community whether they want to seize this opportunity or not. Clearly, those who joined the company’s supported groups have already felt the benefits,” he explained.

During his visit, Muhlis also visited the new Kawasi Village settlement firsthand. He expressed his support for the resettlement of residents, as the old village, surrounded by the company's operational activities, was no longer safe for residents’ health and well-being. According to him, the South Halmahera Regency Government’s program, fully supported by Harita Nickel, to provide better housing with more complete facilities, is the right policy.

“Let’s not allow the community to become victims, used as a tool for conflict. As long as the old settlement remains, it will continue to be exploited to attack the company, with narratives portraying poverty and slum conditions in the midst of a thriving industrial area,” he emphasized, dismissing accusations that he said were not aligned with facts on the ground.

To those who remain skeptical of Harita Nickel, Muhlis encouraged them to visit and see firsthand the progress and initiatives carried out by the company. According to him, Harita Nickel is very open to receiving input.

Muhlis invites parties who are still skeptical towards Harita Nickel's commitment to stay in touch and establish good communication with the company. On the other hand, he also asked the company to open space for the community to convey input.

“For me, it is important that the company is more transparent regarding environmental management patterns, because this is a very sexy issue. The most dominant issue in every mining activity is environmental issues. So it's just a matter of how to be more open to explain to the public,” said the mining lecturer.

<figcaption>Muhlis Ibrahim refers to the Tuguraci 2 area, covering 43 hectares within Harita Nickel’s operational area, as the most complete and largest mine runoff water management facility in North Maluku.</figcaption>

In addition to social aspects, Muhlis said Harita Nickel's commitment to environmental sustainability is in accordance with its practices in the field. He gave an example of the company's efforts in managing mine runoff water by preparing as many as 52 settling ponds. One of them is Tuguraci 2, the largest pond with an area of 43 hectares. These ponds are monitored regularly to ensure the water has met quality standards before being released to environmental bodies.&nbsp;

“Harita Nickel is a key asset for North Maluku. Let’s support them by continuously monitoring their commitment so that investment activities can proceed smoothly,” he said.

Concluding his visit, Muhlis expressed his appreciation for Harita Nickel’s consistent application of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles across its operations. He also hoped that Harita Nickel would set an example for other companies investing in North Maluku.

KATAM Urges Obi Residents to Support Harita Nickel as North Maluku’s Key Asset

As part of its commitment to reducing the environmental impact of its mining and nickel processing operations, Harita Nickel has built two coal storage domes on Obi Island, North Maluku.
Each dome measures 600 meters in length and 140 meters in width, with a storage capacity of up to 370,000 tons of coal.

“These coal domes prevent coal dust from spreading into the environment. The dust stays inside the dome,” said Tonny Gultom, Director of Health & Safety Environment at Harita Nickel. He illustrated the massive size by comparing it to five football fields combined, all under one roof.

The domes are specially designed to be completely enclosed and are filled with inert gas to lower oxygen levels inside. This reduces the risk of fire and helps maintain coal quality. Beyond protecting the coal from weather exposure, the design also effectively prevents dust from escaping into the surrounding environment.

<img alt="Coal dome 1" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/news_assets/coal dome 1.jpg" title="Coal dome 1">
<figcaption>2 units of coal domes to store coal used as electricity generation fuel in Harita Nickel </figcaption>
 Another key measure is the use of covered conveyor belts to transport coal from the dock to the storage domes at one of its business units, PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF). This system replaces trucks and heavy equipment, significantly reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
“In fact, the use of conveyors has helped cut coal consumption in the smelter by 6.4%, which is equivalent to avoiding 271 tons of CO2e emissions,” he added. “We also use covered conveyor belts to deliver coal from the domes to the power plant,” he said.

While various innovations have been implemented, Harita Nickel remains committed to further minimizing its environmental footprint.

“Harita Nickel stands by its principles: good, responsible, and sustainable mining operations,” Tonny concluded.

Harita Nickel Builds Giant Coal Domes to Keep the Air Clean

Amid the relentless pace of nickel mining and processing on Obi Island, there is one moment that the employees of PT Megah Surya Pertiwi (MSP) eagerly anticipate: mealtime at the company canteen. More than just a place to refuel, the canteen is a refuge. It’s a space where exhaustion dissolves into camaraderie, and each plate served carries a touch of warmth amid the daily grind.
By dawn, the MSP canteen is already stirring to life. Workers shuffle in, some rubbing the last traces of sleep from their eyes, others pausing to exchange a few words with colleagues before the day’s labor begins. The air is thick with the scent of steaming rice and freshly cooked dishes, an unspoken invitation to grab a tray and select a favorite meal.

For many, meals are simply a daily necessity. However, at MSP, dining is more than just food, it is a vital moment for rejuvenation, providing employees with the energy and comfort needed to maintain productivity and well-being throughout the demanding workday.

“The menu changes almost every day. Grilled fish, chicken satay, crispy calamari. And on certain days, you’ll even find French fries and pizza. It’s not just good food,it feels like eating at home,” says Sarifuddin Usman, an MSP employee.&nbsp;

It is this familiar, home-cooked quality that elevates the MSP canteen beyond its function as a workplace dining hall. For the employees, it is a reminder of the warmth of a family meal, a place where a simple dish can stir memories of home.

<img alt="20012025 hn profiling chef yuli 08" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/news_assets/20012025_HN_Profiling Chef Yuli_08.jpg"> 
Behind every meal is a dedicated kitchen team led by Yuli Andrianto, Harita Nickel’s Chief Chef. His role has evolved from hands-on cooking to overseeing the kitchen operations.

“My priority now is ensuring that every dish meets health and hygiene standards, optimizing costs, and keeping the team running efficiently,” says Chef Yuli with quiet determination.

Like a conductor guiding an orchestra, he supervises his team, coordinates schedules, and ensures that every meal meets the highest standards of cleanliness and safety. The menu remains firmly rooted in Indonesian culinary traditions, designed to cater to the diverse palates of MSP employees.&nbsp;

His responsibilities extend beyond the kitchen. He also oversees budgeting, ensuring operations remain efficient, and mentors his staff in food safety and preparation, practices he excelled during his years in five-star hotel kitchens.

“More than just feeding people, I want every meal here to feel like coming home. Indonesian food isn’t just about taste. It’s about memory, about home, about the warmth of family that we all long for,”&nbsp; he says, glancing across the bustling kitchen.

The MSP canteen is more than a place to eat. It is a space of connection. Here, the fatigue of a long shift gives way to easy conversation, shared laughter, and often, the spontaneous exchange of ideas that fuel the company’s operations. Across its tables, it is not just meals that are served, but a spirit of collaboration that continues to thrive.

MSP Canteen: A Taste of Home, A Bowl of Warmth

As a key supplier to the EV battery chain, Harita Nickel ties growth to carbon‑smart operations. At its PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL) HPAL plant on Obi Island, a waste‑heat recovery (WHR) system now converts exhaust heat into electricity, saving energy equivalent to 9 million litres of gasoline annually and avoiding 307,988 t CO₂e.
&nbsp;Circular thinking extends to the cafeteria. Harita Nickel has also taken a novel approach to waste by repurposing used cooking oil&mdash;generated from meal services for its 20,000 employees&mdash;into an alternative fuel for smelter operations. The reused oil replaces approximately 21% of thermal coal calories each day, reducing daily coal consumption by up to 10 metric tons. Director of Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Tonny Gultom says the pilot program could be expanded if proven to be technically viable over the long term.

<figcaption>Megah Surya Pertiwi used Cooking Oil as a Coal Fuel Substitution in its dry kiln ore smelter </figcaption>

&nbsp;In the Obi Industrial Estate, Harita Nickel has installed solar panels for street lighting, generating 98 gigajoules of energy and cutting emissions by 42.83 tons of CO2e. Since 2023, biodiesel has also been used for transportation and power generation, yielding 908,220 gigajoules of energy and avoiding up to 45,011 tons of CO2e emissions.
Tonny emphasized that sustainability is the foundation of the company’s operations. “Responsible mining must deliver long-term benefits, not just economically, but also socially and environmentally,” said Tonny.&nbsp;
 
Harita Nickel’s commitment to responsible practice is also reflected with a net-zero emissions target by 2060, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications under its belt, and other future energy efficiency projects. With these, Harita Nickel proves its strategic role as a pioneer of sustainable mining in Indonesia.

Harita Nickel Reinforces Commitment to Sustainable Practices through Energy Transition

In a room lined with occupational safety posters, Haryadi Ilyas quietly reviewed his agenda, fully focused on preparing the day’s priorities. That morning, he was organizing a range of activities to ensure the effective implementation of occupational health and safety (OHS) programs. As a Safety Compliance Officer at PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL)&mdash;a joint venture subsidiary of Harita Nickel and Lygend Resources&mdash;his core responsibility is to oversee adherence to safety regulations and standards.
Known to his colleagues as Yadi, Haryadi began his career in OHS in 2019 as part of the Safety Field team at Harita Nickel. In this role, he was responsible for monitoring and enforcing safety protocols, ensuring that operations were conducted securely and that all personnel could return home safely at the end of each day.
 
After several years in field operations, Yadi was entrusted with a strategic position on the Safety Compliance team. His current responsibilities include leading various safety initiatives, analyzing incident and accident data, and coordinating safety audit preparations to maintain regulatory alignment and operational excellence.
 
A graduate of the Health Polytechnic of the Ministry of Health in Ternate, Yadi integrates his academic background in environmental health into his professional practice. While his career path has not followed a strictly linear trajectory, he remains confident in the relevance of his expertise&mdash;particularly in fostering safe, healthy, and compliant work environments. “Many aspects of industrial OHS are closely aligned with the knowledge I acquired during my studies,” he remarked.

Known for his adaptability and collaborative spirit, this native of Makian Island brings a strong drive and unwavering determination to his work. His career journey at Harita Nickel is a testament to how dedication and hard work can open doors to greater opportunities.
 
<h3>Leading the 2025 National OHS Month: A Defining Challenge</h3>
<img alt="01022025 hl pengabdian masyarakat dalam rangka bk3n di soligi 448 11zon" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/01022025_HL_Pengabdian Masyarakat Dalam Rangka BK3N di Soligi_448_11zon.jpg">
The year 2025 marked a significant milestone for Yadi, as he was entrusted with leading the organizing committee for the 2025 National Occupational Health&nbsp;and Safety (OHS) Month. For Yadi, this assignment brought a new and demanding set of experiences. He was tasked with coordinating a team composed of individuals from diverse backgrounds and business units&mdash;a formidable challenge, particularly since many of them had never previously worked together.
 
One of the primary hurdles was communication. For the first time, National OHS Month was being celebrated simultaneously across all business units under the Harita Nickel and Lygend Resources partnership.
 
“In the beginning, coordination was quite challenging, as we weren’t yet used to functioning as a single, unified team. However, over time, we developed an effective rhythm of communication, and we are now able to collaborate more cohesively,” he shared.
Behind the coordination challenges, Yadi recalls one particularly memorable moment during a community engagement program in Soligi Village. The activity served as a real-world demonstration of team cohesion on the ground. “During that program, we witnessed each team member’s initiative emerge naturally. The collaboration grew stronger because everyone was driven by a shared purpose,” he reflected.
 
Community enthusiasm was equally remarkable. More than 100 elderly residents participated in free health check-ups, and the villagers warmly welcomed every initiative implemented. From fire extinguisher (APAR) training and the Gemilang Nutrisi program on healthy eating habits, to dental health education for elementary students&mdash;all activities ran smoothly thanks to strong coordination between the organizing committee and the local community.
 
The culmination of the 2025 National OSH Month featured a Safety Talk with Prof. Dra. Fatma Lestari, M.Si., Ph.D., Director of the Disaster Risk Reduction Center (DRRC) at the University of Indonesia and Vice Chair of the National Occupational Safety and Health Council (DK3N). For Yadi, the discussion&mdash;centered around "Disaster Management in the Obi Island Nickel Industry"&mdash;offered valuable insights to Harita personnel on the critical importance of cultivating a safety-first culture.
 
“This event is more than a celebration&mdash;it’s a concerted effort to build a supportive and safety-oriented work culture,” he said. For him, it was a meaningful opportunity to strengthen synergy and embed a safety mindset throughout Harita Nickel’s operations.

Haryadi Ilyas: Advancing Safety, Protecting Lives

Harita Nickel is stepping up its commitment to environmental stewardship, implementing a comprehensive biodiversity monitoring programme across its reclamation and revegetation sites, as well as several operational zones on Obi Island, an area recognised for its rich ecological value.
According to Muharwan Syahroni, Deputy Head of Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) at Harita Nickel, the company conducts routine ecological surveys annually over a three-week period. The process, managed by independent third-party experts, focuses on tracking flora and fauna populations before, during, and after mining operations, including the reclamation phases.

<img alt="Nyctimene albiventer" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/Nyctimene albiventer.JPG" title="Nyctimene albiventer">
<figcaption>Common paniki (Nyctimene albiventer), one of the fauna species observed during the monitoring activities.</figcaption>

“We conduct monitoring through independent partners to ensure objectivity. The aim is to assess the presence and condition of flora and fauna before mining begins, and to observe the recovery process following revegetation,” Syahroni explained.

Encouragingly, recent monitoring has shown signs of ecological recovery. Several native plant species have successfully re-established themselves in reclaimed areas, while sightings of local wildlife, particularly bird and reptile species, have also increased.

Notably, the populations of mammals, birds, herpetofauna, and insects are showing signs of stability. This includes species endemic to the Maluku Islands, such as the Green Flying Fox (Dobsonia viridis) and the Halmahera Cuckooshrike (Lalage aurea), both considered ecological treasures of the region.

In the insect category, researchers have identified 28 species of dragonflies from 8 families and 46 species of butterflies across 4 families. Their sustained presence is widely regarded as a strong bioindicator of environmental health and ecological integrity.

“In recent times, we’ve seen stable trends among several native species, including key endemics. Their continued presence signals that the ecological balance is being preserved,” said Syahroni.

Among the more visually striking species observed is the Black Sunbird (Cinnyris frenatus), a nectar-feeding bird commonly found among flowering trees in the revegetated zones. Its return indicates that a functioning ecosystem is gradually re-establishing itself.

<img alt="Pemantauan fauna" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/Pemantauan Fauna.jpg" title="Pemantauan fauna">
<figcaption>It is not uncommon for flora and fauna monitoring teams to record various species at night.</figcaption>

Beyond the technical aspects of reclamation, Harita Nickel has also launched a company-wide environmental awareness campaign. The initiative emphasises a firm prohibition on wildlife hunting and disturbance, aimed at protecting vulnerable species and fostering long-term ecological resilience.

“We emphasise the importance of preserving the island’s biodiversity. Education around anti-poaching and environmental protection is a key part of our operations across all business units,” Syahroni added.

By integrating rigorous monitoring with on-the-ground education and habitat restoration, Harita Nickel is aiming to position itself not just as a leader in responsible nickel production, but also as a long-term steward of Obi’s ecological legacy.

Harita Nickel Strengthens Biodiversity Safeguards in Obi  Through Monitoring and Education

The commitment of PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk or Harita Nickel to support the implementation of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) principles in its mining operations and nickel downstreaming on Obi Island, received positive appreciation from the central government.&nbsp;
Unmitigated, the appreciation was conveyed by three ministries at once. Namely the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Kemenko Marves), the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK). Appreciation was conveyed when a team from the three ministries made a working visit to the Harita Nickel site on Obi Island, South Halmahera, North Maluku, in May 2023.

<img alt="Visit salam kawasi" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/Visit Salam Kawasi.jpg" title="Visit salam kawasi">
<figcaption>The team from Kemenko Marves, KKP and KLHK visited Salam Kawasi, an integrated agricultural learning center provided by Harita Nickel for the Obi community.</figcaption>

 
Fatma Puspitasari, Coordinator of Forest Utilization and Conservation Control at the Ministry, said that companies that prioritize ESG principles in their business practices and investments will integrate the principles of environmental conservation, social responsibility and good governance.&nbsp;

After reviewing directly to the Harita Nickel operational site, according to him, various Social and Environmental Responsibility (TSJL) activities that have been carried out by Harita Nickel and several of its subsidiaries operating on Obi Island are in line with ESG principles.&nbsp;

He gave an example of activities oriented towards environmental conservation including mangrove ecosystem maintenance programs, and coral reef transplantation. Social activities include empowering SMEs, strengthening the agricultural sector, and supporting the improvement of the quality of education for children on Obi Island.

<figcaption>Products from MSMEs assisted by Harita Nickel are purchased by the company for its employee canteen needs.</figcaption>

“Regarding environmental management around the site, Harita Nickel's commitment to running an environmentally sustainable business is emphasized by signing a Joint Agreement and Cooperation Agreement with the Coordinating Ministry for Marves, KLHK and KKP in encouraging the achievement of the national mangrove rehabilitation target,” he said.

Before signing the mangrove rehabilitation cooperation with the government in 2022, he said, the company had carried out similar activities by cooperating with Khairun Ternate University and at the same time empowering local communities.

From the monitoring conducted, it is known that the mangrove land that has been rehabilitated by Harita Nickel since 2021 until mid-2023 is 23.73 ha. The locations are spread across four points in South Halmahera Regency, including Soligi Village in Obi District, Awango Village and Belang-Belang in Bacan District and Guruapin Village in Kayoa District.

Restoration Coordinator at the Directorate of Coastal and Small Island Utilization, Directorate of Marine Spatial Management, KKP, Hery Gunawan Daulay emphasized the importance of mangroves for marine ecology. It is said, mangroves function as a buffer zone or buffer area to protect coastal areas from damage.

He gave appreciation to Harita Nickel and encouraged the ongoing program to maintain the mangrove land area from year to year.&nbsp;

In addition to appreciating the company's commitment to environmental sustainability, teams from the three ministries also gave appreciation for the company's efforts to carry out community empowerment activities around its operations. One of them is the SME mentoring program carried out by the company in Kawasi and Soligi Villages.

"One of the interesting things is SME development through training in tofu and tempeh making. Due to the remote distance, good tempeh is difficult to obtain. Local residents are trained to make tempeh by utilizing soybeans grown in the village fields and the products are purchased by the company for employee consumption," explained Fatma, calling this program a real benefit for local residents.

<figcaption>The team from Kemenko Marves, KKP and KLHK discussed with teachers when visiting schools in Soligi Village, one of the nearby villages Harita Nickel's operations on Obi Island.</figcaption>

The team also visited schools in the villages surrounding Harita Nickel's operations.&nbsp; It can be seen that educational facilities and infrastructure for children on Obi Island, which is one of the 3T areas, are still limited. The team also gave appreciation for the support that has been provided by the company. Including school infrastructure improvement assistance and incentives for teachers.

Various activities that have been carried out by Harita Nickel in an effort to carry out its environmental and social responsibilities, are proof of the company's commitment to sustainable business governance according to ESG principles.

“Of course this is also an added value for Harita Nickel as a public company,” said Fatma from Kemenko Marves, agreed by other personnel.

Meanwhile, HSE Director of Harita Nickel, Tonny H Gultom said the company is committed to implementing sustainable governance in all aspects of its operations. According to him, the ESG principle is an important consideration in the company's long-term plan in carrying out the downstream mandate of the Indonesian government.

The three ESG principles covering environment, social and governance are integrated into the company's business strategy and operational activities. In addition, the company also plays an active role in various Community Development and Empowerment (PPM) programs around its operational areas.&nbsp; The focus of the PPM program includes development in the fields of economy, health, education, socio-culture and infrastructure.

Strengthening ESG Integration Across the Value Chain

Harita Nickel, through its two subsidiaries, PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk and PT Gane Permai Sentosa, successfully achieved the Company Performance Rating Assessment Program (Proper) award for the period 2023-2024 with a Blue predicate from the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Indonesia. This award recognized the company's commitment in implementing sustainable environmental management.
The award was presented at the Proper 2024 Environmental Award held at Sasono Langen Budoyo, Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, Jakarta, on Monday (24/2/2025).&nbsp;

Harita Nickel's Health and Safety Environment Director, Tonny Gultom, said Harita Nickel as an integrated nickel mining and processing technology company, always prioritizes sustainable principles in all aspects of its operations on Obi Island, South Halmahera, North Maluku. This commitment aims to provide added value for the company and sustainability for the surrounding environment.<img alt="Kubu hijau" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/Kubu Hijau.jpg"> <figcaption>Dobsonia viridis (Kubu Hijau) observed during Flora & Fauna monitoring in Harita Nickel's operational area.</figcaption>
Tonny mentioned a number of Harita Nickel's achievements in environmental management, including its successful post-mining reclamation program covering ± 231.53 hectares by 2024. Some of the former mining land, he added, is currently covered with plants and inhabited by various types of endemic animals from North Maluku.&nbsp;

Based on the results of biodiversity monitoring conducted by an independent third party, it was found that the flora and fauna ecosystem in the operational area of Harita Nickel remains well-preserved. From the 2024 monitoring results, a total of 10 plant species were recorded as being used in the reclamation area, and 8 plant species were identified in the Obi Industrial Area, consisting of secondary forests and shrubs, including Red Jabon, Kayu Putih, Bintangur, and Mahogany.

Meanwhile, for wildlife species classified within the taxa of mammals, bird populations, herpetofauna, and insects show a stable trend. This includes several endemic species unique to the Maluku Islands, such as the Green Dobson (Dobsonia viridis) and the Halmahera Cicadabird (Lalage aurea).

Under the insect category, the study recorded 28 dragonfly species from 8 families and 46 butterfly species from 4 families. The presence of dragonflies and butterflies indicates that the quality of the environment is maintained.

"We have also succeeded in revitalizing the nursery this year, by increasing the capacity of our land area for nurseries equipped with modern facilities,” he added. The nursery facility, named Loji Central Nursery, has an area of ± 2.8 hectares and a capacity of ± 400,000 seedlings. This increase in nursery capacity is expected to meet the growing demand for seedlings to support the post-mining reclamation program.

<figcaption>Lalage aurea (Kapasan Halmahera), one of the bird species observed during Flora and Fauna monitoring in Harita Nickel's operational area on Obi Island.</figcaption>
 Meanwhile, Head of Mining Engineering of PT Gane Permai Sentosa, Ngainur Rofiek, said that this year's Blue Proper award from the Ministry of Environment is the second time for the company after previously receiving the same predicate for the 2021-2022 period. According to him, the success in maintaining this achievement shows the company's consistency in implementing Good Mining Practices, including technical aspects, work safety and environmental management.&nbsp;

“Of course we will not stop here. This achievement is a motivation for us to further improve the company's performance. In the future, it is not limited to fulfilling regulations, but also making sustainable innovations,” he concluded.&nbsp;

Proper 2024 was participated by 4,495 companies from various sectors. As a result of the performance evaluation, the level of company compliance during the 2023-2024 period amounted to 2,961 compliant companies, 1,329 non-compliant companies, and 205 companies not yet operating. In the non-compliant group, there are 16 companies with black status –the lowest level for companies that are considered to have committed environmental damage. Whereas in Proper 2023 there were no black status companies, then this became a special concern for the government to make Proper mandatory starting in 2025.&nbsp;

Responsible environmental management practices and followed by sustainable innovations in every aspect of its operations, are a tangible manifestation of Harita Nickel's commitment as a downstream mandate holder in order to provide added value for the environment, society and the nation.

Harita Nickel Achieved Blue Proper Award from the Ministry of Environment

Harita Nickel has reaffirmed its commitment to sustainability and social responsibility by implementing best practices throughout its operations on Obi Island. As part of this commitment, the company's Health, Safety & Environment Department partnered with the Disaster Risk Reduction Center of Universitas Indonesia (DRRC UI) to organize the&nbsp;Kawasi Siaga Bencana&nbsp;(Kawasi Disaster Preparedness) program.
The program took place over four days, from December 10–13, 2024, in the newly developed settlement of Kawasi Village. Participants included residents, school students, village officials, and other stakeholders. The event provided training on disaster and earthquake preparedness, including basic firefighting techniques and First Aid (P3K). The program concluded with a tsunami emergency response and evacuation simulation.

Supriyanto Suwarno, Occupational Health and Safety Manager at Harita Nickel, explained that the disaster preparedness training was conducted as a precautionary measure against potential disasters in the company’s operational area. According to a risk assessment conducted by DRRC UI, Kawasi Village is vulnerable to various natural hazards, including earthquakes, strong winds, high waves, floods, and tsunamis.

“This&nbsp;Kawasi Siaga Bencana&nbsp;activity is part of Harita Nickel's commitment to environmental sustainability and social responsibility. It is an extension of our efforts in Occupational Health, Safety, and Environmental Protection (K3LH), which also prioritize community safety around our operational areas,” Suwarno noted.

The program was warmly welcomed by Kawasi residents. Reinhar Siar, Chairperson of Kawasi Village’s Consultative Body (BPD), expressed gratitude for Harita Nickel’s initiative, stating that it greatly supported government efforts to raise awareness about disaster preparedness and management.

“Residents are very pleased to have this opportunity because it makes us more vigilant about potential disasters and teaches us what to do. This training is not just for natural disasters but also for other emergencies that could occur at any time,” said Siar, thanking Harita Nickel and Universitas Indonesia for organizing the event.

The&nbsp;Kawasi Siaga Bencana&nbsp;program involved Harita Nickel’s Emergency Response Team (ERT), which supported the hands-on training sessions and tsunami evacuation simulation. Additionally, medical teams from both the company and local government, Harita Nickel’s Community Relations team, and personnel from the TNI/Polri (Indonesian Armed Forces and Police) participated in the event.

Devi Partina Wardani, coordinator of DRRC UI, emphasized the importance of involving communities and stakeholders in disaster response efforts to minimize casualties during emergencies. “Through theoretical and practical training, as well as simulations, we aim to provide participants with a clear understanding of the necessary steps to take during disasters,” she explained.

The four-day program demonstrated excellent coordination among the participating parties, according to the DRRC UI team. The participants’ enthusiasm was equally notable, as they actively engaged in every session from start to finish.

“We highly appreciate Harita Nickel’s initiative in organizing this event. Hopefully, it serves as a constant reminder for the community, ensuring they know what to do when disaster strikes,” Wardani concluded.
