Jasa Marga Introduces Digital Carbon Footprint Monitoring System on Toll Roads

PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk is reinforcing its commitment to sustainable infrastructure development through the advancement of the Green Toll Road concept and the implementation of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles. This move is accompanied by positive performance in its non-toll business lines, where other operating income from the rest area (Tempat Istirahat dan Pelayanan) sector successfully recorded significant growth. As a concrete action to commemorate World Environment Day, the JSMR-stock coded issuer, together with all its subsidiaries, held a simultaneous planting of more than 7,000 trees across various operational areas throughout June 2026. The ceremony was centred at Travoy Rest KM 792A on the Gempol-Pasuruan Toll Road in East Java. Jasa Marga President Director Rivan A. Purwantono stated that the toll road corridor greening programme is designed to provide measurable ecological benefits while creating long-term added value for stakeholders. “Planting trees is part of a long-term investment to create a better life. The greening programme carried out has measurable benefits, including ecological benefits in the form of improved air quality, increased green open spaces, and enhanced water absorption capacity,” Rivan said via a written statement on Thursday (25/6/2026). To ensure the programme runs effectively, Jasa Marga has begun integrating technological aspects this year. The company introduced a new digital monitoring system specifically designed to measure environmental indicators. The digital monitoring system is capable of measuring and monitoring tree growth periodically in the field, calculating potential carbon absorption (carbon offset), and accurately calculating the carbon footprint as evidence of the corporation’s ESG implementation. In addition to strengthening the green corridor, Jasa Marga is carrying out commercial rejuvenation at Travoy Rest. This arrangement includes the facades of MSME tenant stalls, landscape renewal, parking area arrangement, and the provision of modern infrastructure such as Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (SPKLU). This customer experience-based asset optimisation strategy has proven to have a positive impact on the company’s finances. The contribution of the rest area business to the company’s other operating income continues to show a periodic growth trend. Jasa Marga’s rest area revenue in 2025 amounted to Rp783.2 billion, growing 21.7% from 2024 revenue of Rp643.6 billion. Rivan added that all environmentally friendly and commercial initiatives executed by Jasa Marga are aligned with the mission of Danantara Indonesia. The institution encourages State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) to continue optimising productive assets capable of delivering economic and social impact while maintaining environmental sustainability on an ongoing basis.
