Pertamina Secures 14 PROPER Gold and 108 Green Awards from KLHK
PT Pertamina (Persero) has once again recorded the best environmental performance by securing 14 PROPER Gold awards and 108 PROPER Green awards from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) at the 2026 PROPER Awards ceremony held at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah on Tuesday, 7 April 2026.
Pertamina succeeded in obtaining the most PROPER Gold awards, approximately 35% of the total 39 national PROPER Gold awards. Pertamina also dominated the PROPER Green awards with 44% of the total 243 national PROPER Green awards.
The President Director of PT Pertamina (Persero), Simon Aloysius Mantiri, also received the highest award, Green Leadership, as recognition of leadership in environmental management and business sustainability.
The Minister of Environment/Head of BPLH, Hanif Faisol Nurofiq, stated that PROPER has evolved far beyond its original function as a compliance instrument. “PROPER is a transformation engine that encourages companies not only to comply but to exceed compliance through innovation, resource efficiency, and real contributions to society,” said Hanif.
President Director of Pertamina Simon Aloysius Mantiri expressed thanks for the awards received by the Pertamina Group. He stated that Pertamina is presenting a Beyond Energy strategy in the green energy transition and circular economy for energy resilience aligned with natural preservation.
“Our strategic steps today are the foundation for a more brilliant Indonesia. Through a spirit of togetherness, Pertamina acts as a catalyst in realising the vision of Golden Indonesia 2045 that is advanced, independent, and sustainable,” said Simon.
Simon emphasised that in accordance with the mandate of the Minister of Environment in Decree 129 of 2025, Pertamina has recorded a threefold increase in decarbonisation. While Pertamina has successfully improved energy efficiency, it has simultaneously doubled the use of new renewable energy.
“This achievement confirms that Pertamina is at the forefront of national energy. Pertamina leads strategic initiatives by integrating cross-sector potential to accelerate the national energy transition,” said Simon.
Vice President of Corporate Communication at Pertamina, Muhammad Baron, stated that this achievement is concrete evidence of the company’s commitment to conducting environmentally conscious business operations.
“This achievement shows Pertamina’s commitment as a world-class energy company that is environmentally friendly and has a high commitment to running business operations that are not only business-oriented but also provide benefits to the environment and society,” said Baron.
Social innovations carried out across all lines of operations, said Baron, are an important part of implementing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, while supporting the energy transition being carried out by the company.
In the social field, he continued, Pertamina has supported poverty alleviation efforts and economic inequality reduction, manifested through an increase in economic creation value turnover reaching Rp500 billion per year, which has reached more than 140,000 beneficiaries.
In the field of environmental preservation, Pertamina has conserved 248 fauna species and 300 flora species, with the planting of 9 million trees and waste management at 151 programme locations.
Through the Desa Energi Berdikari (DEB) initiative, Pertamina has successfully integrated renewable energy innovations with a circular economy that directly touches people’s lives. Currently, Pertamina has built 252 Desa Energi Berdikari across Indonesia.
The main strength of this programme lies in community involvement in utilising energy sources based on local potential, such as Solar Power Plants (PLTS), Methane & Biogas installations, and other energy sources to develop community businesses and strengthen local economic resilience towards a greener and more independent energy future.
Overall, the 2026 PROPER achievements affirm Pertamina’s commitment to supporting the national energy transition through environmental innovation, energy efficiency, and sustainable social programmes.
“Energy transition is a moral responsibility borne by Pertamina with full conviction. Through the Beyond Energy philosophy, Pertamina proves that business progress and natural preservation can go hand in hand,” said Baron.
