Post-Mining Environmental Management and Community Empowerment Must Be a Commitment for Mining Companies

Post-mining environmental management and community empowerment are considered vital components of operations within the mining sector.

This is the approach adopted by PT Multi Harapan Lehar Utama (MHU), a subsidiary of MMSGI, which implements these principles through the utilisation of post-mining assets, the strengthening of village economic institutions, skill enhancement, and the downstreaming of local commodities.

The President Director of MHU, Kemal Djamil Siregar, stated that the success of community empowerment programmes is not measured solely by the scale of a company’s investment. Instead, it is measured by the lasting changes that continue to benefit communities surrounding operational areas.

“For us, the success of community empowerment programmes is not just seen from how much support the company provides, but from the changes that can continue to persist after the programme has been implemented,
