Continuing Sustainability Commitment, Kilang Pertamina Internasional Collaborates with KLH to Conserve Ciliwung Riverbanks
Bogor, 9 November 2024 - Realizing its environmental commitment, PT Kilang Pertamina Internasional (KPI) has once again collaborated with the Ministry of Environment/Environmental Control Agency in the Ciliwung River conservation program. The activity, which is part of the 2024 Ciliwung Festival and Clean River Program (Prokasih), successfully involved 850 online and offline participants and cumulatively collected 2.7 tons of waste from June to November 2024.
Deputy Minister of Environment/Deputy BPLH, Diaz Faisal Malik Hendropriyono, President Director of PT Pertamina (Persero), Simon Aloysius Mantiri, and President Director of KPI, Taufik Aditiyawarman directly led the clean-up action.
Simon Aloysius Mantiri emphasized that the biodiversity and environmental restoration program is one of Pertamina's sustainability focuses which is carried out in an integrated manner with all Subholdings under Pertamina, including KPI as the parent company of Pertamina's refineries and petrochemicals.
Simon continued that Pertamina provides full support to maintain the sustainability of the Ciliwung River Basin through various environmental initiatives under the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program which is in line with the implementation of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) values. "Collaboration like this is expected to be an example for other companies in supporting sustainable environmental management," explained Simon.
Diaz Faisal Malik Hendropriyono appreciated the Ciliwung Riverbank Conservation program considering that the Ciliwung River, which stretches 119 km from Bogor to Jakarta, is one of 15 strategic River Basins (DAS) prioritized in the 2020-2024 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN). "The participation of all elements and communities is absolutely needed to maintain river quality. Of course, we hope that the community will participate and no longer throw away waste that can pollute our rivers," said Diaz.
KPI Protect the Earth Initiative
KPI President Director, Taufik Aditiyawarman explained that the Ciliwung Riverbank Conservation program is part of the company's "Climate Project" (KPI Protect the Earth Initiative).
