"Hopefully this award can be a motivation and example for other companies in Indonesia," he said shortly after giving awards to the winners at the Raffles Jakarta Hotel, Wednesday, August 30 2023.
Nickel Industries Limited is committed to not causing negative impacts on the environment and to creating a positive legacy throughout its operational areas, from the exploration stage to the rehabilitation and closure process.
Nickel Industries Limited Sustainability Manager Muchtazar said the TrenAsia ESG Award 2023 provides a comprehensive assessment of a company's sustainability performance from a multi-stakeholder perspective, such as government representatives, business actors, academics, media, as well as experts and practitioners in the field of ESG.
"Therefore, the award we received is very important to increase the credibility of the company's sustainability programs," said Muchtazar in an interview with TrenAsia .
Muchtazar revealed that ESG is very essential for the continuity of the company's operations. It is known that nickel-producing companies are needed for the manufacture of stainless steel materials, batteries , and environmentally friendly technologies. Nickel Industries Limited wants to prove that a responsible and environmentally friendly nickel mining and processing process can be carried out.
This is to support business partners, customers and company shareholders to collaborate further. Without strong ESG implementation, Muchtazar said that the benefits of nickel cannot be felt optimally by industry and society.
"We thank TrenAsia for organizing this event and hope that a similar event can be held again in the coming years," he said.
