Pertamina Achieves Three Recognitions from Fortune Indonesia Change The World 2023

Jakarta, March 8, 2024 - PT Pertamina (Persero) proactively realizes environmental sustainability to achieve the emissions reduction target of Net Zero Emission Indonesia 2060. One of these efforts is through Pertamina's participation in the Planting Movement of 100,000 Tree Seedlings, initiated by the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises (SOE).

The Vice President of Corporate Communication of Pertamina, Fadjar Djoko Santoso, explains that the tree planting movement aims to make Indonesia greener and support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Point 13 (Climate Action) and Point 15 (Land Ecosystems). During the event, Pertamina distributed 8,621 tree seedlings in several strategic locations, including the Thamrin-Sudirman area of Jakarta during Car Free Day (CFD) on February 18, greening activities in Ancol area, and the environment of the Jakarta Provincial Government (Greener Jakarta).

Pertamina also collaborates with influencers and Environmental Movement Communities to instill awareness of the need to preserve nature.

"This activity is also part of National Press Day, where we fulfill our commitment to tree planting programs as part of Pertamina's environmental social responsibility (CSR). We hope that the distributed tree seedlings can grow lush and reduce emissions in Jakarta," explains Fadjar.

Manager of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of Pertamina, Dian Hapsari Firasati, adds that apart from this activity, Pertamina has the Pertamina Forest program, where more than six million trees have been planted, spread across Pertamina Forests throughout Indonesia. The total area of Pertamina Forests reaches 629 hectares (ha), including 433 ha of mangrove trees and 196 ha of land trees.

Pertamina's role in tree planting is pivotal in advancing the Net Zero Emission objective by significantly reducing environmental emissions. This action contributes to the decarbonization of more than 120 thousand tons of CO2eq/year carbon emissions.

In addition to its impact on environmental preservation, this program also provides significant economic benefits to 4,783 beneficiaries, in the form of forest product trading activities and tourist attractions, with group revenues averaging IDR 1.8 billion per year.
