PLN Group Sweeps 46 PROPER Gold and Green Awards from KLH 2025, Sustainable Transformation Proven
Jakarta – PLN’s strong commitment to implementing a sustainability-based business transformation has once again borne national recognition. The PLN Group has successfully obtained 46 PROPER Gold and Green awards from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry/Environmental Control Agency (KLH/BPLH), as an appreciation for its outstanding and consistent environmental performance.
In detail, for this year’s PROPER 2025, the PLN Group achieved a total of 46 awards, consisting of 11 PROPER Gold and 35 PROPER Green. From this number, PLN Holding obtained 1 PROPER Green, PLN Indonesia Power secured 7 PROPER Gold and 22 PROPER Green, while PLN Nusantara Power contributed 4 PROPER Gold and 12 PROPER Green.
PROPER Gold is the highest ranking given to companies that not only comply with regulations but also demonstrate sustainability excellence through social and environmental innovations as well as community empowerment. Meanwhile, PROPER Green is awarded to companies that have exceeded compliance standards (beyond compliance) through the implementation of good environmental management systems, resource efficiency, and sustainable business practices.
This achievement affirms PLN’s acceleration in integrating sustainability principles into all lines of business, from the development of new renewable energy (EBT), energy efficiency, the application of circular economy, to the utilisation of low-emission technology to support the national decarbonisation agenda.
This attainment is even more special with the awarding of PLN’s President Director, Darmawan Prasodjo, as ‘Green Leadership PROPER’ for his role in driving the transformation towards a sustainable utility while accelerating Indonesia’s energy transition.
The Minister of Environment/Head of BPLH, Hanif Faisol Nurofiq, who presented the awards in Jakarta on Tuesday (7/4), emphasised that PROPER is not merely a symbolic award, but a real indicator of a company’s performance in preserving the environment while creating value for society.
“Hopefully, the predicate we give can encourage all of our performance in contributing at the national level as well as in the international business contest,” said Hanif.
He also reminded the importance of maintaining consistency, so that the Gold predicate does not become just a momentary achievement, but a standard in the company’s future operations.
The Deputy for Pollution Control and Environmental Damage (PKKL) of KLH/BPLH, Rasio Ridho Sani, added that the number of PROPER 2025 participants reached 5,476 companies, an increase of 22% compared to the previous year.
