As dawn breaks over Obi Island, the sky brightens with the promise of a busy day. In the large kitchen of Harita Nickel, chefs work with urgency, turning a variety of prepared ingredients into delicious dishes. Steam rises from big pots, filling the air with inviting aromas.
One employee peels onions, while another chops fresh greens. Each worker wears masks, gloves, and hair coverings, ensuring that cleanliness is a top priority in this kitchen. Meticulous attention is devoted to food quality and hygiene. Every ingredient that enters the kitchen must undergo rigorous Quality Control (QC) processes. The cafeteria team inspects everything, from the freshness of ingredients to their packaging. 
 
“We place great emphasis on hygiene. Every ingredient must be inspected by our Food Safety and Industrial Hygiene team. From the initial stages through the cooking process, everything must adhere to the standards set by management,” Junaidi Arief, HRGA Superintendent of PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL) clarifies.
 
These busy kitchens might seem like any other, but it is anything but ordinary. It is vital for feeding over twenty thousand people every day on Obi Island in North Maluku. Each day, around sixty thousand meals are prepared, with fifteen thousand meals made specifically for the employees HPL.
 
<img alt="C1 dokumentasi kantin tka hjf 2024 a73021961 11zon" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/news_assets/C1_Dokumentasi_Kantin_TKA_HJF_2024_A73021961_11zon.jpg">
To keep meals exciting, the menus are changed daily. At HPL, there's even a live cooking program that offers employees a unique experience. “We create a monthly menu plan so employees can enjoy different meals, and we also have live cooking events to add variety,” he says.
 
These kitchens never sleep; they operate around the clock, ensuring that all of the employees receive nourishing meals that support their demanding work. “The food supply must be continuous,” explains Junaidi. 
 
“Our cafeteria team is fully operational, preparing breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even midnight snacks&mdash;all provided free of charge for our employees, whom we refer to as Insan Harita,” he adds.
 
Yet, given the company's remote location, how does Harita Nickel guarantee a steady supply of food? The unpredictable weather often presents its own set of challenges. 
 
“We indeed face challenges in sourcing food supplies, but we strive to overcome them by collaborating with local suppliers,” Junaidi reveals.
 
These local suppliers consist of farmers and fishermen from Obi Island itself. Farmers from the villages of Laiwui, Jikotamo, Buton and Akegula regularly provide vegetables such as bitter melons or known as pare, cucumbers, as well as fresh fruits like watermelon and melon. Meanwhile, fish are sourced from local fishermen in the nearby villages of Kawasi, Soligi, Mano and Madopolo. This collaboration not only ensures a reliable food supply but also empowers the local community.
 
Community Development Manager at Harita Nickel Ifan Farianda highlights how important local farmers and fishermen are in supplying food for employees, showing the company’s commitment to supporting these communities. Through its Community Development and Empowerment (PPM) program, Harita Nickel promotes a “One Village, One Product” strategy to improve the welfare of nearby villages. The aim is to help these villages create unique products that can be sold to the company and beyond.
 
“There are about ten villages in the vicinity of the company, each with its own farmer and fisherfolk groups that we support. Our aim is to propel these villages toward the One Village, One Product initiative, ensuring a consistent supply to the industrial area from each community,” Ifan explains.
 
By integrating local farmers and fishermen into its food supply chain, Harita Nickel not only secures a steady stream of quality food but also strengthens the economy of Obi Island. The economic turnover from the agricultural and fishing sectors only reaches a staggering Rp 13 billion per month, making this collaboration a win-win solution for all parties involved.
 
Behind these big busy kitchens, there are stories about how thousands of employees on Obi Island enjoy nutritious meals every day, highlighting the community's strength and the company's dedication to its workers and local suppliers.

The Kitchens That Never Rest: The Vital Role of Pulau Obi’s Community in Harita Nickel

Harita Nickel, an integrated and sustainable nickel mining and processing company located on Obi Island, has launched the Harita Gemilang (Bright Young Generation of Obi) scholarship program. This initiative opens valuable opportunities for students from Obi, particularly those hailing from underprivileged backgrounds, to receive financial assistance in completing their higher education. Through this endeavor, Harita Nickel is not just investing in individual futures but also paving the way for a brighter community ahead.
To enhance information accessibility and foster community participation, Harita Nickel has rolled out a Roadshow for the Harita Gemilang Scholarship across 34 villages in five districts of Obi Island. Running from October 9 to 17, 2024, this event serves as a vibrant platform for interaction among various stakeholders, including district and village officials as well as the parents of students. 
 
“For the company, this initiative is not merely about promoting scholarships; it’s about building strong bonds and trust between Harita Nickel and the local community to create a brighter future for the youth of Obi,” explains Ifan Farianda, Community Development Manager at Harita Nickel.Harita Gemilang Scholarship program is part of Community Development and Empowerment Program (PPM) in the education sector, which focuses on supporting students from Obi Island. Through this program, Harita Nickel hopes that more and more of Obi’s young generation will continue their higher education and ultimately contribute back to the advancement of their region.<img alt="Sosialisasi beasiswa harita gemilang laiwui 69 1 11zon" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/news_assets/Sosialisasi Beasiswa Harita Gemilang_Laiwui_69 -1-_11zon.jpg" title="Sosialisasi beasiswa harita gemilang laiwui 69 1 11zon"><figcaption>Community Development Manager of Harita Nickel, Ifan Farianda, delivered a speech during the Harita Gemilang roadshow held in Laiwui Village, Obi District (October 15).</figcaption> 
“The goal is not only to achieve academic success, but also to shape future leaders who can drive the nation's progress, particularly on Obi Island,” Ifan said, underscoring the broader vision behind the Harita Gemilang scholarship program.
 
The Harita Gemilang scholarships are divided into two main categories: the Harita Gemilang Prestasi Scholarship for students with a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.5 and above, and the Harita Gemilang Harapan Scholarship for those with GPAs ranging from 3.0 to 3.5. Recipients will receive educational assistance ranging from IDR 5,000,000 to IDR 7,500,000 per semester, depending on the category awarded.
 
The local community, including village and district governments, responded positively to the program. The district head of Obi, Ali La Jarahiya, appreciates the scholarship initiative, noting that it greatly helps families with education costs. “This scholarship provides better support for the community, especially in covering the expenses of higher education,” he says.
 
Ali also emphasizes the importance of the program's sustainability and his readiness to assist in promoting it within the village governments, ensuring that more community members are aware of and can benefit from the opportunity.
 
To guarantee that information is easily accessible and transparent, Harita Nickel has designated its Instagram account as the primary communication channel. Prospective scholarship recipients can find all the essential information regarding requirements, registration, and timelines for the Harita Gemilang Scholarship. Applications have been open since October 4, 2024, and will close on November 10, 2024. Following that, the administrative selection process will take place from November 10 to 30, 2024, with scholarship recipients to be announced between December 10 and 12, 2024.&nbsp;

The 2024 National <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/sustainability/occupational-health-safety" target="_blank">Occupational Health and Safety (K3)</a> Month was celebrated nationwide from January 12 to February 12. This year's theme, "Fostering an OHS Culture: Healthy, Safe Work Practices for Business Continuity," highlights the need to integrate OHS principles into workplace culture. The goal is to reduce workplace accidents and occupational illnesses, ultimately improving productivity.
At Harita Nickel, OHS Month is celebrated annually, with each business unit organizing different activities. The events begin and end with a formal ceremony, and each unit hosts various initiatives to boost participation and engagement.
Activities include sports competitions, OHS evaluations across departments, and a videography contest focused on OHS themes, all designed to emphasize the importance of occupational health and safety in the workplace.

Muksin Muhdin, OHS Trainer Supervisor at <a href="http://tbpnickel.com" target="_blank">PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (TBP)</a>&nbsp;and the chairman of OHS Month committee, explained that this year the company organized a variety of activities focused on occupational health and safety.

To promote workplace health, various sports competitions were held, including badminton, sepak takraw, basketball, volleyball, and running. Meanwhile, to enhance employees knowledge and awareness of workplace safety, the company hosted a First Aid Challenge, departmental Safety Accountability Program (SAP) evaluations, and a Best Performance <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/media/kabar-obi/highlight/sah-tiga-anak-usaha-harita-nickel-raih-sertifikasi-iso-14001-2015-dan-iso-45001-2018" target="_blank">ISO 45001</a> competition on Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems.

While other business units organized on-site activities, this year <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/about-us/subsidiaries/smelter" target="_blank">PT Surya Megah Pertiwi (MSP)</a> focused on online competitions, utilizing digital platforms. These included a safety-themed drawing competition for employees children and a “Caring for Colleagues” video competition for employees.

Fajar Aprianto, Safety Operational Supervisor at PT Megah Surya Pertiwi (MSP), explained that the drawing competition involving employees children conveyed the message that workplace safety is not only important for the employees but also holds significant meaning for the families waiting at home.

The “Caring for Colleagues” video competition reminded employees to be more aware of their surroundings. When noticing any potential hazards caused by a colleague, Harita employees are encouraged to speak up as a gesture of care and responsibility.

Like other business units, <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/about-us/subsidiaries/smelter" target="_blank">PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF)</a> organized activities to raise employee awareness of occupational health and safety. This effort aligns with the company's goal of achieving Zero Loss Time Injury (LTI) in its operations. LTI refers to work-related accidents that cause permanent disability or result in lost workdays. To achieve the Zero LTI target, support from all levels of the organization is essential.

HJF’s OHS Month activities not only focused on employees but also engaged the local community. These activities included free health check-ups and medical treatments, beach cleanups, and OHS education sessions for high school students at SMA Tunas Muda in Kawasi Village.

The involvement of the community and attention to environmental care reflects the company’s commitment to the principles of <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/sustainability/about-sustainability" target="_blank">Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)</a>, aiming to create a positive impact on the surrounding environment and society.

<a href="https://tbpnickel.com/about-us/subsidiaries/refinery" target="_blank">PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL)</a> also supported K3 awareness by organizing engaging and enjoyable activities.&nbsp;Events like the "Run for Fun and Color Run" encouraged employees to join in running and Zumba sessions together. More than 200 employees participated in the activities held at the Living Quarter area. Bambang A.&nbsp;Kader, Safety Trainer at HPL and chairman of the OHS Month committee, noted that making the event enjoyable helped employees better understand OHS education without feeling overwhelmed.

He hopes that a strong OHS culture will enhance company performance and productivity. “The goal is to foster a sense of care and responsibility among employees. With stronger connections, they will feel more comfortable reminding each other about safety when they notice any unsafe conditions,” he explained.

OHS Month: Nurturing Relationships for a Safer Workplace

Safety is everyone's responsibility at Harita Nickel. Every employee must ensure their own safety and look out for their coworkers. This commitment is guided by the Safety Pledge and the Four Steps to Safe Work, which align with the company’s Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) policy.
However, safety in the workplace is often seen as the sole responsibility of the Safety Department. Employees often follow protocols, like wearing their Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), only when they sense watchful eyes. The presence of the OHS team can sometimes feel intimidating, creating a culture where compliance is driven by oversight rather than genuine concern for well-being.
Younsel Evand Roos, PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (TBP) Director of Operations, emphasized that workplace safety is the priority in company’s operations. The slogan “Safety First,” which underscores the importance of OHS, signifies that safety must be the primary consideration before any work begins.&nbsp; It emphasizes a collective responsibility, extending beyond the individual to safeguard the well-being of everyone in the immediate environment, fostering a culture where protection is built into the foundation of daily operations.
“If someone reminds us to wear PPE or follow standard operating procedures (SOP), it means they are doing their job. Employees with a safety mindset will think about whether they're working safely and take immediate action to correct any unsafe behavior or conditions to protect themselves and others,” he stated during the closing ceremony of National OHS Month 2024.
Understanding the importance of occupational health and safety, the government and corporate stakeholders celebrate OHS Month each year. This tradition goes beyond a simple ritual; it aims to build a culture of safety in the workplace, ensuring that health and safety are top priorities for everyone.
“Safety must never be compromised. If production falls behind, we can catch up. However, a single lapse in safety can have dire consequences. This is the essence of ‘Safety First,’” he stated, emphasizing that the comprehensive implementation of all aspects of occupational health and safety will contribute to the company's productivity, ultimately benefiting employees and ensuring that both priorities progress in harmony.
Ngainur Rofiek, Head of Occupational Health, Safety & Training (OHST) for Harita Nickel’s mining operation, discussed the company’s efforts to integrate OHS into its workplace culture. He explained that the company has set policies reflected in various regulations and that these regulations are incorporated into the Safety Accountability Program (SAP) to ensure they are effectively implemented on the ground.
Rofiek elaborated that the SAP outlines how the OHS monitoring system operates, including when when inspections are conducted, who is responsible, the extent of their responsibilities, and how this information is communicated. To ensure comprehensive coverage, monitoring is conducted in a tiered system&mdash;starting from the foreman level, to supervisors, and upwards&mdash;where each level carries defined duties and responsibilities.
“These regulations are designed to instill a culture of safety. Initially, compliance is driven by rules and the potential for sanctions, but over time, these practices become ingrained and evolve into a workplace safety culture,” he explained.
 
To ensure comprehensive understanding and foster awareness, the company gradually provides training on the importance of occupational health and safety (OHS) alongside established regulations. At Harita Nickel, since 2023, Leadership Training has been implemented progressively, involving all employees from managers to staff across all departments.
 
According to Rofiek, training is a key part of accelerating the development of an OHS culture. The application of OHS principles is demonstrated through the leadership of each individual, with every employee being a leader for themselves and their surroundings.
 
“Our current task is to enhance our maturity level in safety implementation. There are five stages of safety maturity, and we are currently at the reactive stage. This is what we aim to improve,” he explained.
 
For context, the five stages of safety maturity include: vulnerable (basic), reactive, compliant, proactive, and resilient. At the first stage, safety exists only on paper, with minimal implementation. In the second stage, OHS becomes a priority only after incidents occur. The third stage focuses on compliance with regulations. In the proactive stage, efforts go beyond compliance, embedding safety into the company culture from top management to the workforce. At the resilient stage, safety becomes fully integrated, with ongoing innovations to enhance OHS practices.
 
Rofiek is confident that the maturity level of employees in applying OHS principles will continue to improve, largely due to strong support from management. He emphasized that OHS success is not solely dependent on regulations, sanctions, or training programs that expedite the development of a safety culture, but critically on the strong commitment from leadership.
 
“SOPs, regulations, sanctions, and training are key drivers in accelerating the development of a safety culture. However, the most significant factor is management's commitment. Thankfully, our top leadership is fully supportive,” he concluded.

OHS Culture at Obi Site: Safety Starts with Me

Throughout the <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/media/kabar-obi/csr/ini-dia-capaian-csr-harita-nickel-pada-semester-1-tahun-2024" target="_blank">first semester</a> of 2024, Harita Nickel successfully held a number of <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/sustainability/human-rights/we-and-the-community" target="_blank">Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)</a> programs in the field of <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/sustainability/human-rights/we-and-the-community/education-programs" target="_blank">education</a> for communities in South Halmahera Regency, North Maluku.
The following is a summary of Harita Nickel's education-related CSR programs, implemented during semester 1 of 2024.
<h2>a. Expertise and Skills Improvement Program (PELITA)</h2>
PELITA is Harita Nickel's effort to improve the technical, or ‘hard’, skills of community members living in the vicinity of the operational area, specifically related to the operation of heavy equipment. After successfully producing 14 graduates in the previous year, Harita Nickel is now running the second iteration of the PELITA program, which comprises 28 new trainees.
Participants in this program are trained to operate overhead cranes and will then sit the <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/media/kabar-obi/csr/harita-nickel-berikan-pelatihan-dan-sertifikasi-sio-untuk-pemuda-lokal" target="_blank">Operator's License (SIO) certification</a> exam. Participants not only learn how to operate heavy equipment, but also gain legally recognized certification that will allow them to do so in a professional capacity.
<h2>b. Harita Teaches (Harita Mengajar)</h2>
Harita Nickel holds a number of educational activities under the ‘Harita Mengajar’ umbrella, which enables Harita Nickel employees to share their skills and experience with communities around the mining area.
As per June 2024, a total of five Harita Mengajar activities had been held, involving 729 student participants. The details of these activities are as follows:
● Mandarin Class at SMA Tunas Muda and SMP Loji Permai, Kawasi Village

● Commemoration of World Children's Book Day

● Introduction to solar panels as an alternative, environmentally friendly energy source

<h2>d. Sewing Training</h2>
Working in collaboration with the Ternate City Vocational and Productivity Training Center (BPVP), Harita Nickel has also held a number of training activities related to sewing and textiles for residents living and working in the vicinity of the company's operational area.
During these sessions, participants can develop the skills needed to repair damaged clothes effectively, while also learning to make their own clothing or even set up an independent business providing sewing services.
<h2>e. Provision of Laptops</h2>
Harita Nickel has also provided support to students at the New Settlement Middle and High Schools in Kawasi Village, in the form of laptops, projectors, printers, and other computer laboratory equipment.
<h2>f. Student Literacy (Ceria)
</h2>
Harita Nickel has also rolled out the Smart Literacy and Writing (Ceria) program in six schools surrounding the company's operational area. Through this program, the company has provided around 200 high-quality books to students, thereby supporting the development of an active learning environment that improves literacy and sparks students' interest in reading.
Education plays a pivotal role in community empowerment. By focusing attention on this particular area, the company intends to increase access to education, build positive relationships with communities living around the operational area, and ultimately have a positive impact on community development.

Harita Nickel CSR Achievements in Semester 1 of 2024

In celebration of the 2024 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Month, Harita Nickel’s business units at the Obi site are hosting a series of events spanning from January 12 to February 12, 2024. These activities are designed to raise awareness and strengthen the company’s commitment to workplace health and safety. 
The OHS Month commenced with an opening ceremony on Friday, January 12, 2024, led by each business unit. During the ceremony, the Indonesian Minister of Manpower’s message was conveyed, emphasizing this year’s theme: "Foster an OHS Culture, Stay Healthy and Safe at Work, and Ensure Business Continuity." Additionally, employees reaffirmed their commitment by reciting the Safety Pledge and revisiting the company’s core values, underscoring the critical role of safety in Harita Nickel's operations.
Following the opening ceremony, various business units are organizing a range of activities, including sports competitions, workplace safety initiatives, and community engagement efforts. PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (TBP) is hosting a football tournament, while PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL) is arranging sepak takraw, table tennis, badminton, and futsal competitions.&nbsp;
In terms of non-sporting events, each business unit has created unique opportunities to promote safety and community involvement. PT Megah Surya Pertiwi (MSP) is holding a drawing contest for employees’ children themed around safety, while TBP is conducting a quiz competition and safety rescue demonstrations. HPL is promoting a 5S competition to encourage cleanliness and order in the workplace, and PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF) is organizing a beach clean-up near Kawasi Village.
This year's OHS Month theme serves as a reminder for all Harita employees to integrate health and safety as a fundamental part of the work culture. This approach is vital for protecting employees’ well-being and ensuring the company’s operational continuity.
By fostering a strong culture of health and safety and actively participating in these OHS Month events, Harita Nickel reaffirms its commitment to creating a safe, sustainable, and productive work environment.

​Harita Nickel Commemorates OHS Month with Sports and Workplace Safety Initiatives

On Sunday, January 21, 2024, despite overcast weather, nearly 200 employees from PT Halmahera Persada Lygend, a business unit of Harita Nickel, participated in the Run for Fun and Color Run event at the Living Quarter area. This initiative was designed to strengthen solidarity and promote a collective commitment to enhancing health and safety within the workplace.
“This event aims to foster a sense of belonging and mutual care among employees. We hope that in the future, if unsafe conditions arise in the workplace, colleagues who have established strong bonds will feel empowered to remind one another,” stated Bambang A. Kader, Safety Trainer and Chairman of the Committee.
Bambang emphasized that creating an engaging environment is essential for making education about safety culture both accessible and enjoyable, rather than intimidating. He believes that a robust safety culture will not only improve employee well-being but also enhance the overall productivity of the company.
In addition to running, employees participated in Zumba sessions, which were well-received by attendees. “The event was lively, especially with a Zumba instructor leading the activities. The light rain merely added to the excitement as we engaged in energetic movements together,” remarked Courtney Juditha Rumampuk, known as Sisi.
On the same day, employees from PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel, another business unit of Harita Nickel, participated in a Healthy Walking event and a Beach Clean-up at Kawasi Beach. During the clean-up, the team successfully collected over 50 garbage bags, amounting to nearly 2 tons of waste.
Hendri Saputro, Occupational Health and Safety representative at Harita Nickel, emphasized that the recent Healthy Walking and Beach Clean-up event reinforces the company’s commitment to promoting a culture of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) beyond its operational areas.
“This initiative demonstrates that we can engage in physical activity while also preserving the environment. This is the message we want to share with the community. We believe that a healthy environment fosters a healthy society,” Hendri stated.
He further noted that raising awareness about environmental cleanliness, particularly along coastal areas, could drive economic growth through tourism, which remains an untapped potential for Obi Island. “For fishing enthusiasts, this island could become a prime destination for anglers, with opportunities to catch Grouper and even Giant Trevally,” he added.
This year’s National OHS Month serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining sustainable business practices alongside the welfare of communities living near industrial areas. With a focus on mitigating workplace accident risks, all employees at Harita Nickel are working together to cultivate a strong OHS culture that benefits both the organization and the surrounding community.

Inside Looking Out, Outside Looking In: Two Strategies by Harita Nickel to Enhance Health and Safety in the Workplace

The National <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/sustainability/occupational-health-safety" target="_blank">Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)</a> Month (Bulan&nbsp;K3 Nasional) is a significant annual event in Indonesia, especially in the mining sector, including at&nbsp;<a href="http://tbpnickel.com" target="_blank">Harita Nickel</a>. This observance goes beyond a formal ceremony, reflecting the company's strong commitment to enhancing awareness and embedding OHS principles into everyday operations.
A key focus for improving OHS standards is the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). In this context, PPE is not merely a regulatory requirement but a critical part of the company’s strategy to ensure the safety and well-being of employees across all job functions. 
The importance of PPE lies in its preventive role, designed to reduce the risk of workplace accidents. It provides essential protection against potential hazards, ranging from helmets, gloves, and safety shoes to safety glasses and other specialized gear tailored to specific tasks.
However, proper PPE usage is equally critical. Employee awareness and commitment to wearing PPE correctly are essential for the effective implementation of OHS practices. To support this, the company consistently conducts <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/media/kabar-obi/k3l/gelar-pelatihan-p3k-harita-nickel-tingkatkan-standar-keselamatan-kerja" target="_blank">training</a> and education, particularly for high-risk roles, through workshops and seminars focused on OHS, aimed at strengthening their understanding of workplace safety.
Therefore National OHS Month is an opportunity to reaffirm the company’s commitment to fostering a strong and sustainable safety culture. Through continuous efforts and shared responsibility, Harita Nickel aims to create a safe, healthy, and productive work environment for all employees&mdash;because safety is part of our culture.
