PT Amman Mineral Nusa Tenggara (AMNT), a subsidiary of PT Amman Mineral Internasional Tbk (AMMAN), has received The Copper Mark for its Batu Hijau mine in West Sumbawa Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. AMNT has been recognized for meeting most of The Copper Mark criteria, which is a leading certification for responsible copper production practices.
AMNT President Director, Rachmat Makkasau, stated that receiving The Copper Mark is evidence of the company's commitment to applying international standards in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) management.
"AMNT always prioritizes sustainability principles in all operational aspects. This achievement was possible due to the dedication and cooperation of all employees supporting the company's sustainability strategy and its implementation," said Rachmat on Monday, August 5.
He emphasized that the company will continue to enhance strategies to prevent, mitigate, and address adverse impacts on people and the environment resulting from AMNT's operations. These efforts are undertaken to ensure full compliance with The Copper Mark criteria.
The Copper Mark assessment is based on various responsible production criteria at participating copper producer locations. These criteria are defined by the Risk Readiness Assessment created and owned by the Responsible Minerals Initiative. The Risk Assessment encompasses core expectations of responsible production across key ESG issues.
AMMAN's application process for The Copper Mark began last year. In September 2023, AMMAN signed a Letter of Commitment (LoC) with The Copper Mark, an independent, multi-stakeholder organization established and developed by the International Copper Association since December 2019. This organization is led by a Board of Directors and a Multi-stakeholder Advisory Council, which includes experts in environmental and human rights fields.
