Healthy for Earth

What makes this program special is that by taking part, participants would make an indirect donation to Pertamina's Desa Energi Berdikari initiative, which works with people in rural areas of Indonesia to use new and renewable energy sources to provide access to electricity. 

“With the Energizing The Great Start spirit, Pertamina Eco RunFest 2022 invites the community to collaborate to help villages in Indonesia to be more independent, fulfill their own energy needs by using clean energy sources, and improve welfare. This follows our aspiration to achieve the Net Zero Emissions common goal," said Brahmantya S. Poerwadi, Corporate Secretary of Pertamina. 

The Desa Energi Berdikari Program is Pertamina's flagship TJSL program which aims to increase community access in remote and isolated villages to environmentally friendly, affordable, and sustainable energy. Moreover, this program also encourages the community's economy to be more prosperous. Throughout 2021, Pertamina's 19 Desa Energi Berdikari programs have reduced emissions of more than 261 thousand tons of CO2 per year, providing energy access benefits to more than 1,900 families, and providing an economic increase of up to IDR 1.9 billion. In 2022, Pertamina will continue this program and get support from various stakeholders.
