Pertamina Kartini Energy, Gender Equality for Integrated ESG Implementation

Jakarta, April 22, 2022 - As a world-class energy company that continues to implement integrated ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance), Pertamina Group is committed to creating a corporate environment that upholds gender equality, free from discrimination, and free from violence and harassment.

In Kartini's commemoration, which is also the anniversary of Pertiwi Pertamina, Finance Director of Pertamina, Emma Sri Martini said Pertamina has established a sustainability policy to create a global energy company that is environmentally friendly, socially responsible (Societal Responsible Company), and has good corporate governance (Good Governance Company).

Emma said that Pertamina continues to carry out various initiatives to encourage changes in systems and practices that can improve gender equality, especially women leadership and women empowerment at Pertamina.

According to her, the various initiatives carried out by Kartini Pertamina include the Human Rights Policy and the Respectful Workplace Policy launch, the 2021 PERTIWI Awards, coaching and mentoring programs to encourage the target achievement of 15% of women in nominated talent, as well as partnerships with various institutions at the national and international levels.

“Pertamina continues to make various efforts to increase the company's contribution to SDGs achievement, especially point 5, namely Gender Equality. Various initiatives carried out directly have a positive impact on increasing Pertamina's ESG rating," said Emma Sri Martini at the "Energi Kartini Pertamina" event in Jakarta on Thursday, April 21, 2022.

Emma also said that Pertamina actively promotes the Respectful Workplace Policy implementation as a benchmark for other SOEs. Pertamina discussed with various stakeholders and encouraged the Respectful Workplace Policy implementation to be expanded to a larger environment, especially SOEs.

"With the support and high commitment from the Minister of SOEs, the respectful workplace policy initiative initially carried out at Pertamina can finally be scaled up with the issuance of a Circular Letter from the Minister of SOEs regarding the Respectful Workplace Policy in SOEs," added Emma.

Emma added that the Respectful Workplace Policy in SOE will cover up to almost 1 million workers in the SOE environment.

Pertamina's officers come from various ethnic groups, races, and religions who represent extraordinary diversity and can form a strong unity. As a company committed to implement ESG, the corporate sustainability principle that upholds mutual respect and fairness is very important.

Pertamina has established the "Handbook for A Respectful Workplace" as the company's guide in creating a work environment that is free of discrimination and more inclusive for company's sustainability in the future.**
