The Environment Department of PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (PT TBP), also known as Harita Nickel, hosted a discussion named “Is Our Mining Damaging the Environment?” at Kahyangan Cafe on Saturday, May 25, 2024. The discussion, which was held in commemoration of World Environment Day, was attended by employees from across departments to discuss the company's commitment to good mining practices.
Environment & Business Improvement PT TBP, Dedy Amrin as the speaker was presented the company’s commitment to sustainable mining management. He stated that this commitment aligns with the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No. 26 of 2018 on Good Mining Practices and the Supervision of Mineral and Coal Mining.
“From the six aspects of Good Mining Practices regulated by the government, the company has implemented all of them, including the environmental management,” he explained. Furthermore, Dedy explained several efforts made by the company to minimize environmental impact of mining activities. These efforts include routine air quality monitoring, hazardous waste management, overburden management, water quality management using several settling ponds, and ongoing rehabilitation and re-vegetation initiatives.
“People often associate mining with environmental damage. Is that true? Let’s address it within our mining operation. As you can see, there is no scattered ore, the reclaimed land is green, and as you can see the sea in Kawasi remains blue,” he explained, emphasizing that the company’s commitment is not just to fulfill obligations but also to provide added value to the surrounding community.
The discussion, which lasted for about two hours, was interactive. Despite being held at night after a full day of work, employees were engaged and enthusiastic throughout the event. The discussion was presented in a relaxed cafe atmosphere and was also entertained with music played by the employees.
In addition to celebrating World Environment Day, this discussion also demonstrated Harita Nickel's commitment as an integrated nickel mining and processing technology company to responsibly and sustainably carrying out downstream mandates.
