Through This Innovation, PGN Pagardewa Achieves PROPER Gold 2025 from KLHK
Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk’s Pagardewa Station has received the 2025 Company Performance Rating Programme (PROPER) award from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) with a Gold ranking. This award is given as recognition of the company’s commitment to sustainable environmental management.
The award was presented directly by the Minister of Environment and Forestry (BPLH)/Head of the Environment Management Agency (BPLH) Hanif Faisol Nurofiq during the PROPER Environmental Awards event at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII), Jakarta, on Tuesday (7/4/2026).
Hanif explained that this year’s PROPER award is carried out as a mandate of Law Number 70 of 2024. In the coming year, this assessment will become a state obligation in supervising all business units across the country.
“At the very least, there are 74,000 business units that have Environmental Management Efforts and Environmental Monitoring Efforts documents (UKL-UPL) and Environmental Impact Analysis (AMDAL). This is an obligation for us to monitor routinely every six months,” he stated.
In carrying out energy efficiency, PGN Pagardewa Station implemented the Modification of Control Exhaust Fan Compressor Building innovation. This innovation successfully achieved energy efficiency of 188.12 Giga Joules. In addition, there is the Optimisation of Turbine Engine Cleaning Maintenance Activities to Reduce Hazardous Waste Used Detergent Wash, which can reduce hazardous waste by 0.51 tonnes.
PGN Pagardewa Station also successfully reduced emissions by 24,047.28 tonnes of CO2 equivalent through the Air Emission Reduction Efficiency Programme with the Gas Cold Vent System Efficiency.
As information, the PROPER award is routinely held as an effort to increase companies’ compliance with environmental regulations. The award is given using several parameters. PROPER is a public disclosure programme for environmental performance assessment.
This programme is complementary and can synergise with other compliance instruments. With this programme, efforts to improve environmental quality can be carried out more efficiently and effectively.
The PROPER assessment criteria are divided into two categories: compliance and criteria exceeding the requirements in regulations (beyond compliance).
Compliance criteria are based on the company’s efforts in fulfilling several aspects, including water pollution control, water source maintenance, air pollution control, hazardous and toxic waste management (B3), non-B3 waste management, B3 management, land damage control, and waste management. Meanwhile, beyond compliance criteria are more dynamic as they are adjusted to technological developments, the application of best environmental management practices, and global environmental issues.
Some points in the beyond compliance assessment include the implementation of environmental management systems, energy efficiency efforts, emission reduction efforts, implementation of reduce, reuse, and recycle for B3 waste, water conservation and reduction of wastewater pollution load, biodiversity protection, and community development programmes.
