Beneath the blistering sun and relentless tides of Obi Island’s coastal waters, Prasari Riski Hutami stands out with her strong determination. Prasari Riski Hutami, a marine diver from Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta, is part of the environmental monitoring team at Harita Nickel, a major player in Indonesia’s mining sector. With a 14-kilogram oxygen tank on her back, she dives regularly to inspect artificial coral reefs and assess the health of the marine ecosystem surrounding the company’s operations.
The role carried out by Prasari is a tangible reflection of Harita Nickel’s commitment to preserving the marine environment around Obi Island. Since 2022, the company has implemented a coral reef restoration program using Reef Cubes&mdash;hollow structures made from an environmentally friendly mix of concrete and nickel slag. By March 2025, a total of 2,092 Reef Cubes will have been deployed across three strategic locations: Pasturi Island, the waters near the company’s port, and the coastal area surrounding the new settlement of Kawasi Village.

<figcaption>Monitoring of Coral Reefs growing in Reef Cubes by Harita Nickel's Marine Monitoring team</figcaption>
 
Over three years of implementation, quarterly monitoring has recorded coral growth from the Pocillopora and Porites genera, with an average growth range of 0.03 to 4.79 centimetres. This data suggests that the artificial substrates used have been effective in supporting the natural regeneration of coral reefs. The program has also had a positive impact on the coastal economy: surveys have identified 136 fish species from 64 genera and 24 families living around the Reef Cubes, including economically valuable fish such as red grouper, rabbitfish, snapper, and yellowtail.

“What began as a college hobby at IPB (Bogor Agricultural Institute) has become a full-time role. Diving isn’t just work, it’s a personal release,” Prasari said in an interview. Since joining Harita Nickel in 2022, she has taken part in seawater sampling, underwater documentation, and even the installation of the Reef Cubes themselves. “It’s physically demanding, but I’m proud to help protect the seam,” she added.&nbsp;

Monitoring is conducted weekly, not just by internal staff but also by independent third parties to ensure objective and transparent data. One of the most critical components of this work is underwater documentation, a task Prasari often handles solo.

<figcaption>Harita Nickel's Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) monitoring Obi's marine ecological condition</figcaption>
 
“Many women play key roles here,” she added. “Harita Nickel fosters an environment where women can grow and lead.” To date, Prasari has completed dives as deep as 40 meters, recording sightings of sharks, sea turtles, Napoleon wrasse, and clownfish, living proof that the Kawasi waters remain vibrant and alive.

Through Prasari’s story and the success of the coral reef restoration program, Harita Nickel shows that mining can go hand in hand with protecting the environment. It’s a collaboration of technology, courage, and social responsibility that reflects Harita Nickel’s role as a sustainable company in Indonesia.<div class="video-container"><iframe style="width: 500px; height: 281px;" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/9c_DQLTTIqw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>

Harita Nickel Strengthens Efforts to Protect Obi Sea with Artificial Coral Reef Program

Not everyone can celebrate Eid al-Fitr with their families. For many workers at Harita Nickel’s Obi Island site, the holiday was spent far from home, surrounded by the routines of work. Even so, a strong sense of togetherness, care, and shared purpose filled the day.
To keep the spirit of Eid alive, each Harita business unit held special activities. There were torchlight parades on the night before Eid, group prayers in the morning, and festive meals in the canteen. These simple efforts made the celebration feel meaningful and personal.
<img alt="Malam takbir di hjf" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/Malam Takbir di HJF.jpg" title="Malam takbir di hjf">

At PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (TBP), PT Gane Permai Sentosa (GPS), and PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF), employees gathered for halal bihalal, an Indonesian tradition of reconciliation and forgiveness after Ramadan. This moment became more special because it was also attended by the Director of Operations of Harita Nickel, Younsel Evand Roos.
Although rain canceled the torch parade at PT Karunia Permai Sentosa (KPS) and PT Obi Sinar Timur (OST), the celebration continued indoors at Obi Café where laughter, prayer, and song carried the night.

Hartopoh Haryanto, Superintendent of HRGA at TBP, on behalf of management expressed his appreciation for the dedication of Harita Nickel’s employees to maintain optimal operational activities, even during the Ied. “We choose to be apart during Eid not because we don’t miss home, but because of our love for the people we left behind,” he said, recognizing the sacrifices made by those who kept operations running on the holiday.
Agus Margono, Superintendent of HRGA at HJF, echoed the sentiment. “We’re not just coworkers, we’re family. One Harita, standing together through joy and hardship. Eid Mubarak, from the bottom of our hearts,” he said.&nbsp;

For Rizka Aulia Rahmah, a Turbine Operation Foreman at PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL), this was her second Eid away from her hometown of Bekasi, West Java.
“We support each other as fellow Insan Harita. For example, by sharing a meal together after the Eid prayer. It still feels special, even though we’re far from home,” she said.

At Site Obi, Eid was more than just the end of fasting. It showed the strength of human connection. Even in an industrial setting, the warmth of togetherness was felt. That may be the true meaning of the holiday.

Harita Nickel remains committed to sustainability across all operations amid growing global demand for responsible mining practices. One of its main goals is to use Processing Residue (SHP) from the pyrometallurgical smelting process, specifically nickel slag, which is now used as a soil improver for reclaiming mined land.
As a form of SHP, nickel slag previously required specialized management. However, Harita Nickel’s Environment and Business Improvement Team has developed an innovative approach to repurpose it as a valuable material for sustainable land reclamation. Nickel slag, which has a lot of silica, magnesium, and essential minerals, was mainly used for building infrastructure like concrete blocks, tetrapods, and roads. However, recent studies have demonstrated its ability to enhance soil structure and increase the availability of nutrients for plants.
<img alt="Slag nickel" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/Slag NIckel.jpg" title="Slag nickel">
<figcaption>Nickel Slag Removal Process, which is generated from pyrometallurgical-based nickel processing.</figcaption>

Trials have demonstrated that nickel slag is effective as a plant nutrient source and improves soil structure, particularly in post-mining areas. In addition to reducing waste, this new idea helps ecosystems recover, makes it easier for reclamation plants like Sengon and Cajuput trees to grow, and makes the best use of land mined for productive and long-term uses. 
<img alt="Dwi retno handayani" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/Dwi Retno Handayani.jpg" style="float: left; width: 243px; height: 365px; margin: 0px 20px 20px 0px;" title="Dwi retno handayani" width="243" height="365">
<figcaption>Retno Dewi Handayani, Green Mining Manager at Harita Nickel, emphasized that this initiative is part of the company’s long-term strategy for responsible mining. </figcaption>
 
This initiative also provides social benefits by generating employment opportunities for local communities, reinforcing Harita Nickel’s commitment to long-term social value creation. By reducing the volume of waste requiring extensive management and optimizing resource utilization, Harita Nickel actively contributes to minimizing environmental pollution risks and enhancing the productivity of reclaimed land.
"The utilization of nickel slag as a soil ameliorant is not just about waste management; it is a proactive step toward ecosystem restoration and creating a better future for local communities," she stated. 
Harita Nickel continues to utilize resources wisely and responsibly as part of its sustainability strategy, including mineral conservation and sustainable downstream processing. Through this innovation, the company further solidifies its position as a leader in sustainable nickel mining, integrating environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and transparent corporate governance to drive long-term positive impact.

Sustainable Innovation: Harita Nickel Utilizes Nickel Slag to Improve Soil Quality in Reclamation Areas

A red-painted building stands prominently in the coastal village of Gambaru, South Obi District. Though modest in size, it distinguishes itself among the surrounding homes. A wooden sign in the front yard reads Rumah Belajar Simore. In the local language, Simore means “cheerful”–a name that reflects the engaging and enjoyable learning environment this initiative strives to foster.
Rumah Belajar Simore is Harita Nickel's corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative, officially launched in 2024 as part of its Community Empowerment Program (PPM) in the education sector. In collaboration with the Gambaru Village Government and local early childhood education institutions (PAUD), this program aims to provide accessible and informal educational support for children, students, and the surrounding community. The primary objective is to enhance literacy skills and foster a love for reading, particularly among children who have yet to develop reading fluency.
<img alt="Rumah belajar simore gambaru" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/rumah belajar simore gambaru.jpg" title="Rumah belajar simore gambaru">
<figcaption>The learning sessions are designed to be fun and interactive, to create a positive learning experience for local children on Obi Island.</figcaption>

Every afternoon, Rumah Belajar Simore becomes a vibrant learning space, filled with the enthusiasm of children practicing their reading skills. Under the guidance of dedicated instructors, they engage in reading exercises designed to build confidence and fluency. Volunteer educator Masni Hanafi actively supports students who require additional assistance, ensuring they receive the encouragement needed to develop their reading abilities in a supportive and nurturing environment.
“At Rumah Belajar Simore, we provide literacy education for children who have yet to develop reading and writing skills. We also engage them through storytelling activities, encouraging them to retell the stories they have heard,” explained a dedicated instructor who also serves as an early childhood education (PAUD) teacher.
More than just a learning space, Rumah Belajar Simore is designed to be an engaging and resourceful space. Along its wooden shelves, a variety of books are neatly arranged, ranging from school textbooks to illustrated storybooks. Additionally, it also offers interactive educational games that help children familiarize themselves with letters and numbers in a fun and interactive way.
Fahwa Lerebulan, a fourth-grade student at SD Negeri 201 Halmahera Selatan, is among the many enthusiastic participants. “It’s exciting&mdash;there are so many books, and I can learn while playing,” she shared. Beyond benefiting children, Rumah Belajar Simore also serves as a welcoming space for parents, many of whom visit to read or accompany their children during learning sessions.
The presence of Rumah Belajar Simore has made a tangible impact on the local community, particularly among parents. Hamsiah Drakel, a resident of Gambaru Village, has observed significant progress in children’s literacy skills. While many initially faced challenges in reading, they are now demonstrating steady improvement, highlighting the effectiveness of this initiative in fostering educational growth.
“Every afternoon, children arrive here with enthusiasm. They not only engage in reading activities but also enjoy playtime afterward. Their excitement is evident, and it is rewarding to see how this space helps alleviate their daily stresses through learning and play,” Hamsiah said.
Karina Austrina Putri, Community Development Supervisor at Harita Nickel, highlighted that the program was developed in response to the low reading interest among children. “Our goal is to create a supportive learning environment without excessive academic pressure,” she stated.
<img alt="Rumah belajar simore obi" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/rumah belajar simore obi.jpg" title="Rumah belajar simore obi">
<figcaption>A comfortable learning environment with no academic pressure, so that children can learn more fun.</figcaption>

She further highlighted that the key to improving literacy is first cultivating a love for books. “Once they develop an interest in reading, we can gradually enhance their literacy skills. Rumah Belajar Simore is not just a learning space, it is a platform to play, explore, and share joy,” she added.
Since its inception, Rumah Belajar Simore has benefited 73 children, helping them build confidence in their reading abilities. This milestone reinforces Harita Nickel’s commitment to further developing the program and expanding its reach.
Looking ahead, Harita Nickel plans to enrich the learning space with more books and educational games, as well as introduce storytelling sessions, film discussions, and training programs for volunteer educators. The goal is to replicate this initiative in other villages, ensuring that more children have access to enjoyable and engaging learning opportunities.

Simore Learning Center: Fostering a Culture of Literacy Among Obi’s Children Through Engaging and Enjoyable Methods

Harita Nickel operates seven dedicated terminals (special ports) supporting import-export activities as an integrated nickel mining and processing company. Jetty Persada stands out as a strategic facility, serving as a primary gateway for shipping essential materials used in electric vehicle batteries and stainless steel production to global markets.
Jetty Persada is specifically designed to facilitate smooth logistics flow within the Obi Industrial Area. Given Harita Nickel’s operations in an archipelagic region, sea routes are the primary logistical channels for the company’s distribution activities.
“Jetty Persada operates around the clock in two shifts, from 7 AM to 7 PM daily,” explained Tonny Wijayanto, Jetty Superintendent at Harita Nickel. His words vividly depict the bustling nature of the jetty&mdash;engines roaring, anchor chains clanging, and continuous loading and unloading activities.
<img alt="Operasional jetty persada" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/operasional jetty persada.jpg" title="Operasional jetty persada">
<figcaption>Jetty Persada 4 is fully in operation 24 hours a day to serve logistical needs of PT HPL, ONC and DCM.</figcaption>

Jetty Persada 4, one of the primary export points, plays a crucial role in annually delivering approximately 247,000 wet metric tons (WMT) of Nickel Sulfate and 32,000 WMT of Cobalt Sulfate to international markets. Yet, its function is not limited to exports alone. This jetty is also a key logistical entry point for Harita Nickel’s subsidiaries: PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL), PT Obi Nickel Cobalt (ONC), and PT Dharma Cipta Mulia (DCM). Numerous materials and equipment daily pass through the jetty, linking Obi Island’s industrial complex with the global supply chain.
Jetty Persada’s operations are supported by around 460 employees, primarily local residents. “The workforce will continue growing in line with additional equipment such as cranes and loaders,” said Tonny.
According to Tonny, one of the main challenges is training unskilled workers, particularly fresh graduates. Employees must quickly adapt to the working environment while understanding safety risks. Harita Nickel routinely conducts basic skills training ("green training") for local employees. “We prioritize local workers for roles like forklift operators. However, specialized skills like crane operators are still sourced externally due to limited local expertise,” Tonny explained.
<img alt="Capt tonny" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/capt tonny.jpg" title="Capt tonny">
<figcaption>Tonny Wijayanto, Jetty Superintendent of Harita Nickel, conducted a management walkthrough to ensure field operations comply with occupational safety principles</figcaption>

Moving forward, Jetty Persada aims to enhance operational efficiency by upholding the company’s core values, especially teamwork. Maintaining team cohesion is critical for Tonny, given the team’s diverse cultural backgrounds. “I regularly have casual conversations with my team members&mdash;not to supervise, but to ensure they feel valued and comfortable at work,” he said.
Regarding safety, Jetty Persada remains fully committed to meeting national and international safety standards. “Working at sea involves stringent regulations, and we ensure full compliance to protect both employees and the environment,” Tonny emphasized.
With a growing local workforce and high operational standards, Jetty Persada remains a strategic logistics hub for Harita Nickel, safely, efficiently, and sustainably connecting Indonesian nickel products with global markets.

A safe working environment is key to sustainable company operations. With the spirit of “One Harita, Looking After Each Other”, Harita Nickel ensures that every individual works safely. Every step of Harita employees, from the mining area to the smelter, reflects a joint effort to maintain occupational safety and health.
This commitment was reaffirmed in the National Occupational Safety and Health Month 2025, under the theme “Strengthening the Capacity of Human Resources in Supporting the Implementation of the K3 Management System (SMK3) to Increase Productivity.” National OSH month 2025 is a momentum for Harita Nickel to strengthen the K3 culture to create a safer and more productive workplace.
<img alt="Bk3n hpl" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/BK3N HPL.jpg" title="Bk3n hpl">
<figcaption>Zero LTI (Lost Time Injury) Declaration as a joint commitment to occupational safety.</figcaption>

Throughout the BK3N 2025 commemoration, which was held on January 12-February 12, Harita Nickel held various activities to increase awareness of occupational safety and health across its business units. Knowledge sharing sessions were conducted to increase employees' capacity and competence in OSH. While the competition session, aimed at encouraging worker involvement in building a safety culture, including through K3 video and poster competitions, safety driving, and emergency handling simulations.&nbsp;
As part of its corporate social responsibility, Harita Nickel also organized a community service program in Soligi Village. The activities included free health checks for school students and the elderly, as well as health and safety education in everyday life.&nbsp;
“Although this year's National OSH Month event has ended, the commitment to work safety remains ongoing. An excellent OSH culture must be part of our every operational activity in order to create a safer and more productive workplace,” said Ngainur Rofiek, Head of Mine Engineering at PT Gane Permai Sentosa, during the OSH month 2025 closing ceremony.
Rofiek further said that Harita Nickel has a big challenge this year to complete the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA) audit, a voluntary assessment system to evaluate industrial-scale mines based on sustainability aspects, which includes occupational safety aspects.&nbsp;
As reported by responsiblemining.net, Harita Nickel is the first company in Indonesia to officially commit to being audited by IRMA. As stated directly by IRMA Executive Director, Aimee Boulanger, “By volunteering its mining operations to be independently audited against the world's most stringent global mining standards, Harita Nickel sets an example of the unprecedented transparency of mining operations in Indonesia".
Septian Hario Seto, Deputy of Indonesia's Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment, said Harita Nickel's commitment to undergo a rigorous IRMA audit reflects the company's dedication to responsible mining practices. “This effort underscores the importance of aligning national industrialization with global standards, ensuring long-term benefits for our communities and environment," said Septian Hario Seto, specifically commending Harita Nickel for supporting the government's vision for a sustainable mining and downstream sector.&nbsp;
President Director of Harita Nickel, Roy Arman Arfandy, said that the IRMA audit is important to affirm Harita Nickel's commitment to responsible mining practices, which protect the safety of workers, environment and communities. No less important, this audit is to assure consumers that Harita Nickel products meet internationally recognized sustainability standards.&nbsp;
By undergoing this IRMA audit, Roy emphasized, Harita Nickel is committed to aligning its operations with best practices and identifying room for continuous improvement with affected stakeholders and relevant rights holders.
"We would like to express our highest appreciation to all Harita people for being an important part of this journey,” he said, optimistic that the audit will produce as expected thanks to collaboration and support from all parties, especially from internal employees.

Sustainable Operations with Excellent OSH Culture

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" title="Kubu hijau">
<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.
<img alt="Kapasan halmahera" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/Kapasan Halmahera.jpg" title="Kapasan halmahera">
<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 is reinforcing its community engagement efforts through a series of social and religious programs during Ramadan. On March 15-16, 2025, the company hosted a Tabligh Akbar in Soligi and Kawasi, featuring Islamic scholar Ustad KH. Dr. (C) H. Asep Sofyan, Lc, M.Pd. Addressing 300 attendees in Soligi and 150 in Kawasi, he emphasized the importance of maintaining strong social ties.
“A good relationship with others brings blessings, longevity, and new opportunities,” Ustad Asep said to the congregation.

<img alt="Tabligh akbar" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/tabligh akbar.jpg" title="Tabligh akbar">
<figcaption>Within the Tabligh Akbar series, Harita Nickel also distributed donations to orphans.</figcaption>

 
As part of its Ramadan initiatives, Harita Nickel provided financial aid to 117 orphans and distributed 369 Eid gift packages.
