        "content": "<p>Environment Minister Hanif Faisol Nurofiq has affirmed his commitment\nto conducting strict monitoring of all business activities that could\ndegrade environmental quality, particularly air and surface water in the\nJabodetabek region. According to him, the trend of declining air quality\nin this area is increasingly concerning. \u201cFrom today onwards, we will\nclosely monitor all business units contributing to the decline in air\nquality, especially in heavily agglomerated areas like Jabodetabek.\nEvery day, air quality is declining, whether weekly, monthly, or\nyearly,\u201d Hanif stated at the 2025 PROPER Environmental Awards event on\nTuesday (7\/4\/2026). In addition to air quality, surface water conditions\nare also deteriorating. Hanif revealed that at least 13 major rivers in\nJabodetabek are currently in a moderately to heavily polluted status,\nindicating the need for serious attention from all parties. \u201cOur surface\nwater quality is not very good either. Almost all 13 major rivers in\nJabodetabek are in a moderately to heavily polluted condition,\u201d he said.\nThe decline in environmental quality not only affects air and water but\nalso leads to reduced land cover and declining biodiversity. Hanif\nemphasised the importance of cooperation from all parties, including\ncompanies, in preserving the environment. He also appreciated companies\nthat have committed to environmental protection through good\nenvironmental management programmes. The blue predicate award, according\nto Hanif, reflects companies\u2019 serious efforts in fulfilling RKL-RPL\nrequirements, which contribute to environmental resilience. \u201cThank you\nto the companies receiving the green or blue predicates. Your efforts\nare extraordinary and serve as a real example for improving our\nenvironmental quality,\u201d Hanif concluded.<\/p>",
