August always brings back the spirit of independence. This year, Harita Nickel’s 80th Independence Day celebration became a festival of togetherness, stretching from Obi Island to Jakarta.
Under the unifying theme “Satu Harita, Saling Menjaga Energi Kemerdekaan” (One Harita, Preserving the Energy of Independence), employees enjoyed sports competitions, traditional games, music and dance performances, and even a fun run. Together, they created a vibrant mosaic of unity across locations.
The celebrations at the Obi site began as early as July. The futsal court was filled with cheers, Mobile Legends tournaments kept everyone on edge, and traditional games sparked laughter and joy. Creativity also flourished with Master Chef, Battle Dance, and Harita Idol, giving employees a stage to express themselves.
The peak came on August 16. PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF) hosted Herophoria 4, a Star Wars–themed event featuring dances, songs, and DJ music by employees. On the same evening, PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL) closed the festivities with a musical drama and dance performances by employees.
“We must be One Harita, looking out for each other, working together, maintaining communication, and above all, prioritizing safety,” said Dian Kristiyanto, Technical Support Manager of PT HPL, in his remarks.
In Ternate, employees gathered at Sulamadaha Beach for an employee gathering with tug-of-war, water volleyball, and musical chairs that brought laughter and strengthened bonds.
In Labuha, the celebration took a modest but equally warm form through traditional games such as kerupuk-eating contests, spoon marble races, and dominoes.
The same energy echoed in Jakarta’s Head Office. From July through August, employees joined competitions including badminton, tennis, chess, Mobile Legends, singing, and a fun run. The festivities culminated on August 15 with an office decoration contest, where departments transformed their spaces with the theme of Indonesian Legends.
Wrapping up the celebration, Yohanes, Head of HRGA Harita Nickel, emphasized, “The energy contributed by all Harita employees is the energy to build Indonesia, to ensure environmental, social, and economic sustainability, framed within Good Mining Practice. Beyond games and entertainment, the 80th Independence Day celebration was an opportunity to connect, strengthen collaboration, and reaffirm that Harita Nickel is truly a Great Place to Work.”
With the spirit of Satu Harita, Saling Menjaga, this celebration proves that unity is the key to preserving independence and building a sustainable future for Indonesia.
