During the 2020-2023 period, there were no violations related to environmental management, including water-related incidents. All of Pupuk Indonesia's operational activities complied with applicable environmental laws, regulations, and permits. This compliance is demonstrated by achieving Green and Gold PROPER ratings awarded by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), reflecting both adherence to regulatory standards (compliance) and exceeding compliance (beyond compliance) in environmental management.

Commitment to NOx, SOx, and COD Emission Targets

Pupuk Indonesia is strongly committed to complying with emission quality standards set by regulators regarding NOx and SOx emissions. These emission quality standards are adjusted according to the type of emission sources and the production processes carried out in each operational unit. This is explicitly regulated in the Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry No. 17 of 2019 concerning Emission Quality Standards for Fertilizer Industry and Ammonium Nitrate Industry Activities. In addition, fertilizer production operations do not generate Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions. Meanwhile, wastewater quality standards for the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) parameter are stipulated in wastewater disposal permits in each operational area.

In its implementation, Pupuk Indonesia consistently strives to meet the established standards. Through structured and sustainable emission and wastewater management programs, the company ensures that the emissions and wastewater produced never exceed the applicable quality limits. As tangible evidence of this commitment, Pupuk Indonesia has never received any sanctions or fines related to emission or wastewater violations.

Pupuk Indonesia, through its subsidiaries, conducts a comprehensive assessment of water use in all its operational areas, with the main objective of identifying opportunities to improve water use efficiency. This assessment includes analysis of water consumption patterns, utilization of environmentally friendly technology, and implementation of best practices in water management. Some of the excellent water consumption efficiency programs that each Pupuk Indonesia subsidiary has carried out include:

Pupuk Indonesia Group has demonstrated a clear commitment to reducing water consumption by successfully lowering water usage by 17,344,966 m³ across all active operational areas. One of the key measures in this water efficiency program is the reuse of recycled water or wastewater, which plays a vital role in reducing the consumption of clean water.

Waste Management Internal Audit

The waste management system within Pupuk Indonesia requires the waste generated to be processed before being discharged into licensed water bodies to not exceed the quality standards set out in the laws and regulations. Solid waste sent to landfills must be managed by licensed and certified third parties. To ensure that the Company's waste management practices are in accordance with the requirements of laws and regulations, waste management activities are carried out by employees with competency certification in accordance with aspects of waste management.

Waste Management

Pupuk Indonesia is responsible for managing waste, including solid waste. To ensure that waste management complies with applicable regulations, the company collaborates with the Environmental Agency, which also functions as a regulator. By entrusting waste management to competent parties and in accordance with government regulations, Pupuk Indonesia ensures that all waste management activities comply with the prevailing laws and contribute to environmental sustainability.

Olah Sampah dari Rumah Webinar program

Pupuk Indonesia is committed to raising environmental awareness among employees and stakeholders through various waste management programs. Since 2023, Pupuk Indonesia has periodically organized educational activities to promote sustainable waste management and apply the 3R principles (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle).

In 2023, Pupuk Indonesia started the Olah Sampah dari Rumah Webinar program, held online. The webinar is designed to provide practical education to the public on how to effectively manage household waste, hoping to reduce the amount of waste generated and increase individual participation in waste management.

Sustainability Workshop

As a continuation of this initiative, Pupuk Indonesia is organizing a Sustainability Workshop for Pupuk Indonesia Employees on July 4, 2024 at Kertabumi Recycling Center. The workshop will focus on the application of the 3R principles for waste, aiming to deepen participants' understanding of their real contribution to sustainable waste management and provide practical skills that can be applied in daily life.

Energy Efficiency: Integrated Education and Supervision

Pupuk Indonesia actively raises employee awareness regarding energy reduction through training, internal campaigns, and regular energy audits. This program is implemented across all relevant subsidiaries and includes:

• Training and socialization of energy efficiency for operational and managerial employees
• Internal energy audits to identify potential savings and performance improvements
• Technical capacity building through advanced training and certification in the field of energy

This initiative supports the company’s sustainability targets and fosters an energy-saving work culture within the Pupuk Indonesia Group.
