Through various initiatives, Pertamina\nis promoting an energy-saving culture while encouraging the public to\nparticipate in more prudent energy use.<\/p>\n<p>Vice President of Corporate Communication at PT Pertamina (Persero),\nMuhammad Baron, stated that the company\u2019s energy-saving measures are\npart of its commitment to supporting energy sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe collective movement to save energy is increasingly necessary to\nsupport the government\u2019s efforts in maintaining energy sustainability\namid the current global geopolitical dynamics,\u201d said Baron.<\/p>\n<p>Wise use of energy, particularly fuels like BBM and LPG, is now an\nurgent matter. This aligns with recent directives from the President and\nthe Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, as a joint effort to\nmitigate geopolitical implications on global energy supply chains.<\/p>\n<p>A series of energy-saving initiatives within Pertamina includes\nencouraging employees to use public transport. To facilitate this,\nPertamina provides shuttle bus services from its offices to public\ntransport locations such as stations, bus stops, and others. This\nfacility makes it easier for Pertamina employees to access public\ntransport like the commuter line train.<\/p>\n<p>Facilitating Access to Mass Transport<\/p>\n<p>Not only in Jakarta, this mass transport access is also practised in\nvarious Pertamina work units in the regions, providing shared services\nto residential complexes or other strategic gathering points.<\/p>\n<p>For work activities within the city, employees are also encouraged to\nuse company vehicles together to reduce individual vehicle usage.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, said Baron, energy efficiency is applied as a healthy\nlifestyle culture. Through the \u201cSehat Bugar dan Senang\u201d (SEBUSE)\nprogramme, Pertamina employees incorporate exercise into their\nactivities, such as walking from the office to strategic points like bus\nstops and stations, and vice versa. Some employees also participate in\nBike to Work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVarious programmes are being developed by Pertamina as an internal\nemployee culture, so that in addition to impacting physical fitness,\nthey also save energy, which has been implemented for a long time,\u201d said\nBaron.<\/p>\n<p>The culture of energy efficiency is also passed on to the public\nthrough various activities. For instance, the ongoing effort to promote\nenergy saving includes Pertamina\u2019s Mudik Bersama and Balik Bersama\nprogramme, allowing the public to use comfortable, safe, and\nenergy-efficient public transport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMudik Bersama is a routine Pertamina programme. This year, Pertamina\nis also providing four bus fleets for the return to Jakarta, thus\ncontributing to energy saving,\u201d said Baron.<\/p>\n<p>The return of holidaymakers to Jakarta will be carried out\nsimultaneously from four cities on Saturday, 28 March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Besides transport efficiency, energy saving is also part of the\nculture in Pertamina\u2019s office environment. According to him, employees\nare encouraged to turn off lights and electrical equipment when not in\nuse. The office building design that maximises glass usage also allows\nfor the utilisation of natural light, thereby reducing electricity\nconsumption during the day.<\/p>\n<p>On the operational side, Pertamina also utilises renewable energy\nthrough the installation of solar panels at several petrol stations as\nwell as operational assets and offices.<\/p>\n<p>Not only within the company, Pertamina is also continuously\ndeveloping transition energy programmes for the public. Through the Desa\nEnergi Berdikari programme, which is currently present in 252 locations,\nPertamina helps communities utilise new renewable energy\nindependently.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Pertamina is continuously expanding the construction of\nhousehold gas networks to provide cleaner, more efficient, and\nenvironmentally friendly energy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn line with energy-saving efforts to maintain current energy\navailability, Pertamina strives to start from the internal environment\nand employees\u2019 families, which is hoped to build collective awareness\nfor wise energy use according to needs. This energy-saving movement will\nbecome a culture that strengthens the nation\u2019s energy self-sufficiency,\u201d\nsaid Baron.<\/p>",
