MIND ID Encouraged to Become a Role Model for Sustainable Mining
The Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLH) has positioned the MIND ID Group as one of the new directions for the national extractive industry, which increasingly emphasises sustainability. This recognition was strengthened after the company achieved significant milestones in the 2025 Company Environmental Performance Rating Programme (PROPER). This includes the Green Leadership award for MIND ID’s President Director, Maroef Sjamsoeddin.
The award marks the strengthening of MIND ID’s position as a mining group that not only pursues business performance but also embeds environmental management principles into its corporate governance. In PROPER 2025, several MIND ID Group entities also achieved two Gold PROPER ratings and two Green PROPER ratings.
“The purpose of this award is to recognise the efforts of business units and company leaders in implementing good environmental governance principles,” said Minister of Environment and Head of the Environmental Control Agency, Hanif Faisol Nurofiq, to reporters after the PROPER event on Tuesday (7/4/2026).
He explained that companies assessed in PROPER are required to fulfil environmental documents and report them periodically, including through evaluations every six months. From this process, the government assesses the company’s level of compliance with environmental management obligations.
According to Hanif, PROPER achievements also extend beyond compliance aspects. The award is seen to further strengthen the company’s competitiveness, especially amid increasing investor attention to sustainability and environmental governance aspects.
“From a business perspective, PROPER achievements also add value by increasing investor trust, which ultimately can positively impact the company’s share value,” the Environment Minister clarified.
The Green Leadership award itself is a special recognition for business leaders assessed as successful in driving green transformation, energy efficiency, and long-term commitment to protecting and managing environmental impacts. In this context, corporate leadership is viewed as a key factor in shaping policy direction and sustainability culture at the group business level.
Maroef’s achievement in the event does not stand alone but reflects the integration of environmental sustainability programmes implemented within the MIND ID Group. The state-owned mining industry holding is assessed as bringing social and environmental innovations that positively impact environmental protection and community empowerment.
Hanif expressed appreciation to company leaders who successfully led their business units to achieve green or gold predicates. According to him, these achievements stem from the company’s seriousness in managing resources, preventing pollution, and building economic benefits for society. “The symbol of PROPER implementation is a manifestation of the Environment Minister’s duties mandated in Law No. 32 of 2009,” he emphasised.
The award received by Maroef strengthens the signal that the national mining industry is increasingly demanded to move towards a more responsible and sustainable business model. Amid spotlight on environmental issues, MIND ID is now encouraged to become one of the role models for sustainable mining in Indonesia.
