Pertamina Purchases 34 PROPER Gold from KLHK
PT Pertamina (Persero) with its subholdings and subsidiaries succeeded in winning 34 Gold PROPER awards in the 2023 Company Performance Rating Assessment Program in Environmental Management (PROPER) from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK).
The Ministry of Environment and Forestry also awarded 76 Green PROPER awards to various Pertamina operating units. Pertamina Group's Gold PROPER achievement this year increased sharply compared to last year which was 20 Gold PROPER. Nationally, Pertamina succeeded in winning 43% of Gold PROPER out of a total of 79 Gold PROPER in 2023. This PROPER award was given directly by the Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia Ma'ruf Amin on Tuesday (20/12) at the Bidakara Hotel, Jakarta.
Not only that, Pertamina President Director Nicke Widyawati also managed to get the Green Leadership Utama award as the highest leader of a company that received a gold rating. Pertamina also won 3 Middle Green Leadership awards which were won by sub-holding and subsidiary leaders.
The Main and Middle Green Leadership awards are given to Pertamina leaders who are deemed capable of providing solutions to five priority issues to save the earth and humanity, namely ending poverty, reducing inequality, empowering women, a healthy & sustainable food system, and energy transition. This is in line with Pertamina's success in managing renewable energy, responsible management of water and natural resources, building physical infrastructure to maintain the health of ecosystems and communities, as well as being able to meet community needs in the health sector, treating them fairly and without discrimination.
Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia Ma'ruf Amin revealed that PROPER is a platform for companies to take part in Sustainable Development. The company prevents environmental damage and pollution due to industrial activities. PROPER is also a compass to guide sustainable business practices. The company applies green economy principles and encourages achievements beyond compliance with regulations.
According to Ma'ruf, PROPER also developed assessment criteria. Life cycle assessment criteria, social innovation, green leadership assessment. PROPER also requires transformation of future assessments, supporting the government's commitment to strengthening climate action and achieving national development priorities, responding to the dynamics of global challenges.
"PROPER should be a compass that is able to guide sustainable business practices by applying green economy principles, and even encourage achievements that exceed industry compliance with environmental regulations. Congratulations to the recipients of the PROPER award, especially the gold rank and the CEO who received the green leadership award. "Hopefully it will become a real example that inspires and encourages the performance of other companies," said Ma'ruf.
President Director of Pertamina (Persero) Nicke Widyawati expressed her gratitude and pride towards Pertamina officers throughout Indonesia for the achievement of PROPER organized by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. However, Nicke said that we should not be complacent, because there are still many challenges ahead so that Pertamina can be even better.
"Thank God, I am very proud and want to thank all the officers because this year's achievements are extraordinary. If last year PROPER Gold was only 20, now it is 34. All of these subholdings have extraordinary achievements. Apart from that, we also got 76 Green PROPERs and I myself got Green Leadership Utama, which is even more proud of Green Leadership Intermediate 3 and we bought all three. "But don't be complacent, we still have a lot to do, next year we have to be even better and we can definitely do it," said Nicke.
Pertamina's Vice President for Corporate Communication, Fadjar Djoko Santoso, said that Pertamina's success in purchasing 34 Gold PROPERs was a concrete manifestation of Pertamina's commitment to running a business based on environmental awareness.
"As the leader of the energy transition in Indonesia, Pertamina will continue to run a sustainable and environmentally friendly business. It is hoped that this award will increase global investors' interest in Pertamina's business practices which have consistently implemented ESG aspects throughout its operations," said Fadjar.
