PT Pertamina Patra Niaga Integrated Terminal Surabaya (IT Surabaya)\nconsistently prioritises sustainability aspects in its operational\nareas. This is demonstrated through the Lentera Pagesangan (Protected\nEnvironment, Prosperous Community) programme in Pagesangan Ward,\nJambangan Subdistrict, Surabaya.<\/p>\n
Area Manager for Communications Relations and CSR at PT Pertamina\nPatra Niaga Regional Jatimbalinus, Ahad Rahedi, explained that the main\ndriving factor for the company in establishing this social innovation\nprogramme is its commitment to sustainably fulfilling environmental and\nsocial responsibilities, not merely based on compliance but also\nproviding benefits to the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe company recognises that its operations at Pertamina Patra Niaga\nIntegrated Terminal Surabaya must be accompanied by tangible\ncontributions to improving environmental quality and the welfare of\nsurrounding communities,\u201d stated management when contacted by CNBC\nIndonesia, as written on Monday (30\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
The Lentera Pagesangan programme was prompted by local residents\u2019\nhabits of disposing of household waste into rivers and the lack of\ndomestic waste control, leading to environmental pollution.\nAdditionally, the low economic conditions of the community and high\nunemployment rates, which trigger various social problems such as\ndomestic violence, child neglect, and community conflicts, provide\nstrong reasons for the company to empower and support the community.<\/p>\n
To this end, Lentera Pagesangan transforms domestic waste from a\nsource of problems into a valuable resource through a community-based\ncircular economy system, integrating water hyacinth, wastewater\ntreatment, fish farming, and waste management.<\/p>\n
In practice, Lentera Pagesangan involves five categories of\nvulnerable groups, including 23 elderly individuals with social access\nvulnerabilities, 179 women with social access vulnerabilities, five poor\nresidents with economic asset vulnerabilities, 30 children with social\nvulnerabilities, and 23 riverside residents with geographic access\nvulnerabilities.<\/p>\n
From an environmental perspective, the Lentera Pagesangan programme\nhas successfully reduced Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) by 16,728\nmilligrams per litre (mg\/L) per year, saved 345.21 cubic metres (m3) of\nwater per year, managed 85 tonnes of waste per year, and utilised 83\nkilograms (kg) of organic waste.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, the programme also saves costs on water pollution\nreduction by Rp 911,418 per year and boosts average monthly income for\ndirect beneficiaries by Rp 210,000 per person.<\/p>\n
From a social standpoint, Lentera Pagesangan has engaged 267 direct\nbeneficiaries, 572 indirect beneficiaries, and 302 vulnerable groups\ndirectly or indirectly.<\/p>\n
The Lentera Pagesangan programme operates through partnerships with\nthe Environmental Agency (DLH), Food Security and Agriculture Agency\n(DKPP), and the Environmental Life Consortium NGO. It also serves as a\nlearning platform for the general public and promotes community capacity\nbuilding through training sessions.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Pertamina Patra Niaga IT Surabaya has other flagship\nprogrammes, such as the SIMULTAN (Simultaneous Multi-Line Tank\nOperation) Innovation Programme, which achieves energy efficiency of\n289.2 gigajoules (GJ). Additionally, there is the OPTIMIST (Optimal Mist\nSystem) Programme, which Reduces Water Usage through the Implementation\nof High-Pressure Mist Technology in Tank Temperature Control Systems,\nsaving 702 m3 of water.<\/p>\n
Moreover, Pertamina Patra Niaga IT Surabaya has reduced emissions\nthrough the CARGO (Carbon Reduction through Gas Optimization) Programme,\nReducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions through Optimisation of the Out\nPipeline Route at IT Surabaya, which lowers emissions by 86.13 tonnes of\ncarbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq).<\/p>\n
Thanks to these programmes, Pertamina Patra Niaga IT Surabaya\nreceived the PROPER Gold award in 2025 from the Ministry of Environment\n(KLH). This achievement stems from the company\u2019s active environmental\nmanagement efforts in both operational aspects and for the surrounding\ncommunity environment.<\/p>\n
The award was presented directly by the Minister of Environment\n(BPLH)\/Head of the Environmental Management Agency (BPLH), Hanif Faisol\nNurofiq, to the company\u2019s representative at the PROPER Environmental\nAward event at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII), Jakarta, on Tuesday\n(7\/4\/2026). It should be noted that the Company Performance Rating\nProgramme (PROPER) award is held annually to enhance corporate\ncompliance with environmental regulations.<\/p>\n
This award is also inseparable from the Beyond Compliance approach\nimplemented by Pertamina Patra Niaga IT Surabaya. In this regard, the\ncompany ensures that all operational aspects meet and even exceed\napplicable environmental regulations, including air pollution control,\nwater pollution control, management of hazardous and non-hazardous\nwaste, waste management, energy efficiency, emission control,\nenvironmental management systems, life cycle assessments, and resource\nconservation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe CSR programmes are developed not only as social activities but\nas innovations capable of solving environmental problems while enhancing\ncommunity economic independence. One implementation of social innovation\nis the Lentera Pagesangan programme, which responds to environmental\nissues in Pagesangan Ward, Jambangan Subdistrict,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
In addition, Pertamina Patra Niaga IT Surabaya consistently\nprioritises Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles,\ninternalised in business processes, decision-making, and company\nculture. This includes forging synergies with local governments,\nacademics, and communities.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/protecting-the-environment-pertamina-it-surabaya-relies-on-this-programme-1777546511", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
