PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, through its Aviation Fuel Terminal (AFT)\nSultan Mahmud Badaruddin II, is rehabilitating former mining land in\nTalang Jambe and Talang Betutu villages, Palembang, South Sumatra, to\nstrengthen local economic development.<\/p>\n
Pertamina Patra Niaga\u2019s Corporate Secretary Roberth MV Dumatubun\nstated in Jakarta on Monday that the corporate social and environmental\nresponsibility (TJSL) programme represents the company\u2019s commitment to\ncreating shared value for both communities and the environment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough a structured and sustainable TJSL programme, Pertamina Patra\nNiaga seeks to deliver tangible solutions to social and environmental\nchallenges in our operational areas,\u201d he said. \u201cThis integrated approach\nnot only restores environmental function but also opens new economic\nopportunities and strengthens community resilience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pertamina hopes that through integrated methodology and cross-unit\nreplication, former quarrying areas and other operational zones can be\ntransformed into productive, safe and sustainable spaces for present and\nfuture generations.<\/p>\n
Since the 1970s, the area served as a clay extraction site, leaving\nbehind 105 hectares of degraded land. This has resulted in waste\naccumulation, flooding and landslide risks, threatening community\nsafety.<\/p>\n
Through integrated TJSL, Pertamina Patra Niaga\u2019s Sumbagsel Regional\ndivision is driving the transformation of this area into a more\nproductive and sustainable space. The programme is structured around\nfour main pillars: Permata, Pesona, Perkasa and Pelangi.<\/p>\n
This initiative serves as a key programme in the Ministry of\nEnvironment\u2019s PROPER Gold environmental rating assessment, demonstrating\nthe company\u2019s commitment to achieving superior and sustainable\nenvironmental and social performance.<\/p>\n
The Permata programme utilises 0.42 hectares of former quarrying land\nfor community economic activities, including solar-powered fish cage\nfarming development. As a result, brick artisan income has increased by\n25 per cent and women farmer group income has risen by 133 per cent.<\/p>\n
The Pesona programme focuses on organic and inorganic waste\nmanagement, achieving 85 per cent management of household waste,\nequivalent to 3,600 kg per month. One innovative development is the\nprocessing of waste cooking oil and residue into fish feed, managed by\nlocal MSME groups.<\/p>\n
Rusli, a member of the Pasta MSME Group, noted that the initiative\ndelivers real benefits for both environment and local economy.\n\u201cProcessing waste cooking oil and residue into fish feed is one solution\nto reduce environmental impact from waste whilst creating economic value\nfor the community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
For disaster risk mitigation, the Perkasa programme enhances\ncommunity disaster preparedness capacity, including planting 250 coconut\ntrees in the former quarrying area to strengthen soil structure.<\/p>\n
The Pelangi programme develops integrated child-friendly public\nspaces (RPTRA) and children\u2019s play areas, contributing to improved child\nnutrition in the area.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/pertamina-patra-niaga-restores-former-mining-site-in-palembang-1772438401", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
