PT Hengjaya Mineralindo successfully secured seven prestigious awards in Indonesia for environmental and social innovation at the ENSIA Awards.
The ENSIA Award ceremony was attended by Deputy Minister of Environment Alue Dohong in Nusa Dua, Bali, on Wednesday, July 31, 2024.
In a separate occasion, Chief Operating Officer of PT Hengjaya Mineralindo, Tony Green, stated that these awards demonstrate Hengjaya Mineralindo's consistent ability to create environmental and social innovations.
"As leaders, we always support and encourage our employees to be enthusiastic and consistent in bringing about positive change, resulting in environmentally and socially friendly mining practices," he said.
He continued, emphasizing the company's commitment to environmental and social issues, particularly in the aspects of Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG). This is the main core of a global nickel mining company like Hengjaya Mineralindo to produce responsible nickel.
Tony added that the implementation of programs by the field teams results from excellent consultation processes with department leaders and all employees in addressing environmental and social issues in different work scopes.
The collaboration process from planning to program evaluation has been carried out by the management and all employees of Hengjaya Mineralindo.
For example, the company's management, along with the Sustainability Department, is responsible for holding regular weekly ESG monitoring evaluation meetings titled "Weekly ESG Monitoring" and monthly meetings for all departments through the "Chit-Chat ESG Ideas" agenda.
"We don't want to see ESG as an additional new task for management but rather as a culture that should be ingrained in every work line holistically. Therefore, the company always encourages employees to start innovations from small things that have great significance for the sustainability of the environment and humanity. And of course, driving the creation of a sustainable nickel business process now and in the future," said Tony.
