Business and manufacturing are just one aspect of Harita Nickel. Equally crucial is making sure the company's presence has observable and significant positive effects for nearby communities. The Harita Nickel 2024 Sustainability Report demonstrates this dedication by indicating that community empowerment initiatives scored 89 on the Community Satisfaction Index (classified as Very Good) and had an average Social Return on Investment (SROI) of 2.62—meaning every Rp1 invested produced Rp2.62 in social value.
Ranging from microenterprise growth to food security, these initiatives address a great spectrum of community needs. For example, HOP Mart run by 16 local people made Rp2.9 billion in 2024. Other projects, such RUTE (Rumah Usaha Tangguh Ekonomi)—focused on tofu and tempeh manufacture—earned Rp580 million, while Nyala Café, run by people in the area, made Rp836 million in revenue.
Harita Nickel's CSR team spearheaded a participatory strategy that underpins this achievement. Guided by a Community Development Master Plan that fits with both local and national laws, every program is planned using social impact assessments and a human rights–based methodology.
“We don't only create programs; we guarantee the results really help communities. Our SROI of 2.62 illustrates how successfully our approach is focused and sensitive to genuine requirements on the ground,” said Dindin Makinudin, General Manager of CSR at Harita Nickel.
Harita Nickel keeps increasing its contributions to sustainable development—particularly in its operations locations in Obi Island—by keeping open and data-driven social performance tracking.
