The quiet city of Belém, situated on the banks of the Amazon River, became the center of global attention during the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30). Amidst global discussions on the future of clean energy, Harita Nickel, an integrated and responsible nickel mining and processing company, shared a story from Obi Island about how operational and technological integration can provide real solutions for environmental protection.
COP30 is the annual climate conference of the United Nations (UN), where countries gather to negotiate and review global commitments to tackle climate change. This year, Brazil serves as a crucial forum for dialogue, bringing together different perspectives on energy transition and the future of sustainability.
During a dialogue session at the Indonesia Pavilion, Harita Nickel shared its operational approach that addresses emission challenges while maximizing the potential of Indonesia's strategic minerals. The integration of processes from mining and processing to refining on Obi Island has attracted the attention of many participants as it helps reduce the carbon footprint of logistics and optimizes ore utilization. This technology-based approach aligns with Indonesia's narrative of more responsible and efficient downstreaming.
One topic that sparked much discussion was the use of nickel slag, a type of processing byproduct, as a value-added construction material. From infrastructure development and soil remediation to environmental rehabilitation applications, this circular economy initiative demonstrates how processing byproducts can be transformed into new opportunities for sustainability.
<img class="n1ed--selected" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/COP30-Harita-Nickel-3.JPG" alt="" width="1080" height="720">
"We want to show that processing byproducts is not the end of the process, but the beginning of new opportunities. With the right research, slag can become a safe and useful construction material. This is not just a concept, but something we are already implementing in the field," explained Aladin Sianipar, Vice President of Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) at Harita Nickel.
Harita Nickel's presence in Belém also opened up broader discussions with various stakeholders at the Indonesian Pavilion. The interactions that took place during the conference emphasize the idea that innovation, efficiency, and environmental responsibility can coexist in Indonesia's nickel industry.
This visit was not merely an appearance at an international forum, but an opportunity to showcase a more efficient, transparent, and innovation-based approach to industry. Through new insights, strategic collaboration, and encouragement to continually improve sustainability practices, companies see a significant opportunity for Indonesia to strengthen its position as a key player in the global energy transition.
Harita Nickel believes that industrialization and environmental awareness are not mutually exclusive, but rather can reinforce each other. COP30 is an important stepping stone towards that future.

From Obi to Belém, Harita Nickel's Innovation Footprint in a World Climate Forum

PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (Harita Nickel) has once again strengthened its position as a responsible mining industry player by receiving the 2025 Business and Human Rights (BHAM) Award. Presented by the SETARA Institute, this recognition validates the company’s consistency in integrating Business and Human Rights principles, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), and sustainability into its operational strategy.
Based on the Responsible Business Conduct (RBC) Benchmark, Harita Nickel achieved a score of 65 (Rating B), positioning the company as a BHR Early Adopting Company that meets human rights protection standards. This achievement places Harita Nickel among the 18 leading mining companies assessed for compliance with human rights standards.
Harita Nickel’s Director of Sustainability, Lim Sian Choo, emphasized that this achievement is more than an acknowledgment—it is a mandate for continuous improvement.
<blockquote>
“This award reinforces Harita Nickel’s commitment to embedding human rights principles from policy to field operations. It is proof that the company is on the right track, while also serving as motivation to pursue continuous improvement in collaboration with all stakeholders,” said Lim Sian Choo.
</blockquote>
<h2>High Standards and Rigorous Due Diligence</h2>
The RBC Benchmark research, initiated by the SETARA Institute in collaboration with SIGI Research and Consulting, applies strict assessment criteria aligned with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs). The evaluation focuses on the extent to which companies embed human rights principles consistent with national regulations, including Presidential Regulation No. 60 of 2023 on the National Strategy for Business and Human Rights.
For Harita Nickel, this recognition reflects significant policy transformation in recent years. The company has issued a Human Rights Policy that is binding across all group entities and business partners, referencing global standards such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and ILO conventions.
This commitment is further strengthened through the implementation of Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) conducted with the involvement of an independent party, the Foundation for International Human Rights Reporting Standards (FIHRRST). The findings from this due diligence process form the basis for ongoing improvements in labor practices, community relations, and an effective and transparent grievance mechanism.
<h2>Tangible Impact for Communities</h2>
<img class="n1ed--selected" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Media/Liputan/Kabar%20Obi/WhatsApp%20Image%202025-11-26%20at%2008.52.55_11zon.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="810">
Harita Nickel’s application of human rights principles goes beyond policy statements, manifesting in real improvements to community welfare around its operations on Obi Island, North Maluku. The 2024 Sustainability Report recorded a Community Satisfaction Index of 89 points and a Social Return on Investment (SROI) of 2.62.
The economic impact of respecting the rights of local residents is evident in the success of community development programs. One of the supported business units managed by 16 local residents generated revenues of up to Rp2.9 billion in 2024—demonstrating that mining operations can coexist with the fulfillment of economic rights within surrounding communities.
Moving forward, Harita Nickel is committed to using this recognition as a foundation for raising its operational standards. The company will continue strengthening stakeholder engagement to ensure that downstreaming and the energy transition progress in alignment with respect for human dignity and environmental stewardship.

Business and Human Rights Integration: Harita Nickel Receives the 2025 SETARA Institute Award

Harita Nickel's commitment to empowering communities surrounding the mining area has once again been proven through the graduation of 22 participants of the third batch of the PELITA (Youth Skills Improvement) Vocational Program. This time, the program was focused on mastering the Mandarin language to meet the strategic needs of the nickel downstream industry.
In the graduation ceremony that was held on Thursday (27/11) in Harita Nickel’s site on Obi Island, the graduates officially obtained HSK 3 (Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi level 3) equivalent competency after undergoing six months of intensive training, covering 112 sessions or the equivalent of 192 hours of learning.

Harita Nickel’s Deputy Head of Technical Support, Agung Aribowo, affirms that this program was designed for the local communities to become more than just spectators amid the rapid growth of the nickel industry, but to become active participants.
"We understand that the success of downstreaming depends on strong human resources. These Mandarin vocational graduates are prepared to become vital communication bridges in a work environment that is integrated with international partners. This is a strategic added value for local people to enter the competitive global job market," said Agung.
The impact of this program was felt directly by Kasman La Jaani (18), a young man from Soligi Village. Facing economic challenges and difficult terrain to arrive at the language school, Kasman almost gave up halfway through. However, intensive assistance from the Community Development team of Harita Nickel managed to revive his spirit to study again, enabling him to become the second-best graduate.
“At the beginning, it was difficult because of the distance and weather; I felt like giving up. But the support from my mentors at Harita Nickel helped me get back on my feet. I believe that Mandarin language skills are the key to a brighter future for us, the children of Obi,” said Kasman optimistically.

The Head of the North Maluku Provincial Education Office for South Halmahera, Saimah Kasuba, expressed her deep appreciation for the program. She called it a significant breakthrough in regional vocational education.
“Ladies and gentlemen, you should take pride in the fact that the PELITA Mandarin vocational program at Harita Nickel is the first of its kind in South Halmahera. It is precisely this kind of collaboration that is needed to produce competent and competitive local human resources,” Saimah affirmed.
PELITA is part of Harita Nickel's Community Development and Empowerment (PPM) program, which aims to improve local human resources through vocational education.
Prior to this third batch, the program has successfully transformed unskilled workers into certified skilled workers. A total of 14 graduates from the first batch are now working as wheel loader operators, while 28 graduates from the second batch are operating overhead cranes at a smelter owned by one of Harita Nickel's subsidiaries.
Harita Nickel's commitment to education does not stop at vocational training. In addition to PELITA, the company is also providing scholarships for 100 university students from Obi this year, building school infrastructure, and providing incentives for assistant teachers. All of this is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in creating quality education.
This educational ecosystem is built with the aim of producing local human resources who are not only technically competent but also highly competitive in responding to the increasingly competitive challenges of the global nickel downstream industry.

Harita Nickel Prepares Mandarin-Speaking Obi Youths for Global Industry Competition

Residents of Kawasi Village who have moved into the new settlement say that it has significantly improved their quality of life. The settlement, built by the South Halmahera Regency Government with support from Harita Nickel, now provides much better basic facilities, including electricity and clean water available 24 hours a day.
Yunince, one of the first residents to be relocated, said that the new settlement provides a cleaner and more comfortable environment than her previous home. "When it rains, it doesn't get muddy, and when it's hot, it doesn't get dusty. Here, we have electricity and water 24 hours a day. In my old house, I didn't use air conditioning, but here I have three air conditioners installed," she said.

<figcaption>The smiles of Yunince and her daughter reflect the new comfort they have found since moving into the more livable and well-organized Kawasi settlement.</figcaption>
</figure>
Nur Eneng Rahmat (33) expressed similar sentiments, noting a significant improvement in comfort and tranquility. "My old house was very noisy because it was close to the main road. After trying to move back there, I realized that my new place is much more comfortable. So I ended up coming back here," she said.
In addition to physical comfort, Kawasi village's new settlement also opens up wider economic opportunities for its residents. Nur Eneng now runs a grocery and vegetable business with a daily turnover of Rp1–2 million. "The village here is more organized. I see my neighbors more often, and religious activities are also active," she added.
The head of the Kawasi Village Consultative Body (BPD), Reinhard Siar, said that the new settlement was designed to provide decent, safe housing equipped with adequate public facilities.
“Electricity and water supply are stable, the environment is more organized, and public facilities are available. The hope is that residents can make good use of these facilities and the local economy will grow," he explained.

Industry and Research Synergy: Harita Nickel Presents Sustainability Strategy at ICoSE 2025

At Harita Nickel, knowledge and technology transfer is more than just a policy on paper — it’s a daily reality. Through close collaboration between Foreign Workers (TKA) and Indonesian Workers (TKI), local employees are becoming increasingly independent and now play key roles in the operation of smelters at the Obi Island site.
In the control room, they exchange insights on furnace operation; in the production area, local employees perform their tasks confidently without waiting for direction from foreign counterparts. From these everyday interactions, Harita Nickel’s commitment to real technology transfer takes shape.
According to Li Shi Zhong, Production Superintendent at PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF), knowledge transfer happens directly on the ground, starting from the most technical work levels. “For example, on the fifth floor in the electrode paste section, local workers must understand essential concepts such as the suspension system and how to adjust electrode height to maintain smelting stability,” he explained.
<figure class="image"><img class="img-fluid" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Transfer%20Teknologi%20HJF%202_1.jpg" width="2048" height="1365">
<figcaption>

Beyond mastering technical operations, local employees are trained in daily measurements, workplace cleanliness, and operational reporting. In material processing, intensive coaching is provided so that employees can recognize material surface conditions, control negative pressure, determine hourly discharge volumes, and regulate vertical flow inside the furnace — ensuring they fully understand every operational aspect.
“Tasks like iron tapping and slag discharge, which used to be handled only by Chinese workers, are now entirely managed by local employees,” Li said.
He added that teamwork among operators in the field has also grown stronger. “Even crane and calcine inspection operators can now coordinate and work independently, without direct supervision from foreign workers,” he continued.
Li noted that this progress is also supported by the local workforce’s adaptability and growing communication skills. “Previously, translators were needed for coordination. Now, local employees can communicate directly in Mandarin, which has made work much more efficient,” he explained.
“In the control room, for instance, one Chinese supervisor can now oversee two furnaces at once, while all the operators are local employees. We only review the final data and reports,” Li added.
The impact of this transfer is also reflected in the declining number of foreign workers. “Previously, there were more than 300 Chinese employees in this area. Now, only about 70 remain, and some of them will soon be reassigned. There’s almost no new recruitment of foreign workers, the focus now is on hiring and developing local talent,” Li emphasized.

The story of Hirawati, a production staff member from Makassar, is a testament to this success. A graduate of the Management Trainee program, she now works in the Central Control Room after nearly three years of cross-cultural learning. “At first, I didn’t know anything. But through mentorship and hands-on experience, I’ve become more independent and can now communicate directly with foreign colleagues,” she shared.
For Ira, learning Mandarin became a turning point in her career. “At first, I didn’t understand a single word, but daily interaction helped me learn on my own. Now, communication is easier and work runs more smoothly,” she said.
The daily collaboration between foreign and local employees at Harita Nickel proves that technology transfer is not just a promise — it’s happening on the ground. From the production floor to the control room, the results are clear: Indonesian employees are becoming increasingly self-reliant and ready to take on bigger roles in smelter operations.

Technology Transfer at Harita Nickel Strengthens Local Employee Empowerment

Harita Nickel continues to strengthen its commitment to supporting sustainable natural resource management through community empowerment programs in the agricultural sector. One example of this commitment is the implementation of the Sekolah Ladang (Field School), an organic farming training program held in Kawasi Village on November 5–6, 2025.
The program served as a learning platform for 45 farmers from Obi and South Obi sub-districts to deepen their understanding of environmentally friendly farming practices. Through training sessions conducted on demonstration plots, participants not only learned theory but also practiced organic farming techniques that can be applied directly to their own fields.
<img class="img-fluid n1ed--selected" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Sekolah%20Ladang%20Harita%20Nickel_1.jpg" width="2048" height="1365" data-fm="true">
A total of 45 participants from the subdistricts of Obi and South Obi took part in the program, accompanied by field agricultural extension officers. They were trained in producing solid and liquid organic fertilizers, making natural pesticides, and applying efficient seedling and planting techniques for horticultural crops using local materials. Beyond technical skills, the activity also fostered collaboration and networking among farmers to further expand sustainable agricultural practices across the Obi Islands.
Head of the Agricultural Extension Center (BPP) for Obi District, Hamka Kamarullah, welcomed the initiative, describing the Field School as an important platform for improving local farmers’ capacity. In his remarks, he encouraged participants to become productive farmers who also care for environmental sustainability.
“The hope is that farmers can be more productive without sacrificing soil fertility. Don’t rely solely on chemical fertilizers, because agricultural sustainability is an investment for the future,” said Hamka.
Hamka added that each participant plays an important role as a change agent within their community. By sharing their knowledge and experiences, the impact of this program can reach a wider audience and bring tangible benefits across the Obi Islands.
Meanwhile, Suryo Aji, Community Development Superintendent of Harita Nickel, explained that the Field School is part of the company’s effort to promote farmer independence through the use of local resources.
“Our goal is simple, to help Obi farmers become self-reliant and reduce their dependence on chemical fertilizers. This way, their farming can be more productive and environmentally friendly,” he said.
The program also featured two local agricultural heroes, Siti Marnia and Darwin Adu Hasan, who have successfully implemented organic farming systems through Harita Nickel’s mentorship. They shared inspiring stories about how adopting sustainable agricultural principles has improved yields while maintaining soil fertility.
One participant, Siti Ria from Fluk Village, expressed her appreciation for the hands-on knowledge gained from the training.
<img class="img-fluid" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/Sekolah%20Ladang%20Pertanian%20Organik%20Harita%20Nickel_1.jpg" width="2048" height="1365" data-fm="true">
“I’m happy to learn how to make my own fertilizer and to be taught proper seedling techniques. This knowledge is very useful and can be applied directly in our gardens,” she said.
Through this program, Harita Nickel reaffirms its commitment to supporting sustainable agriculture, particularly through organic land management, as part of its Community Development and Empowerment Program (PPM). The initiative reflects the company’s ongoing synergy with local government and communities to strengthen food security that is competitive, sustainable, and environmentally responsible.

Harita Nickel Promotes Sustainable Agriculture Through Organic Land Management

As part of Indonesia’s commitment to advancing nickel downstreaming and the electric vehicle battery industry, Harita Nickel has achieved another key milestone in ensuring a responsible and transparent mineral supply chain.
Through one of its business units operating on Obi Island, PT Obi Nickel Cobalt (PT ONC), Harita Nickel successfully completed the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) audit conducted by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) for two commodities—nickel and cobalt. Previously, another Harita Nickel subsidiary, PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (PT HPL), completed the same audit and this year underwent its second annual assessment.
This achievement reaffirms Harita Nickel’s strong commitment to building a transparent, ethical, and globally compliant mineral supply chain through the implementation of standardized due diligence systems.
The RMAP assessment, dated May 29, 2025, confirmed that PT ONC passed a comprehensive evaluation covering responsible sourcing practices, risk management, independent auditing, and public disclosure. With this recognition, Harita Nickel is among the few nickel and cobalt producers in Indonesia that comply with international due diligence frameworks such as those established by the OECD, European Union, and the U.S. Dodd-Frank Act.
According to Klaus Oberbauer, Sustainability Manager of Harita Nickel, achieving RMAP compliance represents international recognition of the company’s efforts to ensure its entire mineral supply chain is managed ethically, transparently, and responsibly.
“Implementing the principles of responsible mining and responsible sourcing is a key part of Harita Nickel’s ESG strategy in supporting a sustainable global battery industry while strengthening Indonesia’s role in the national nickel downstream supply chain,” he said.
RMAP, developed by the RMI, serves as a global standard to ensure mineral supply chains are transparent and free from conflict-related risks and human rights violations. Through its rigorous and transparent assessment process, RMAP has become an international benchmark for mineral refineries seeking to enhance credibility and traceability within their supply chains.
The successful completion of RMAP audits by both PT ONC and PT HPL demonstrates that Harita Nickel’s operational practices and governance systems align with globally recognized Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. The company’s standardized due diligence framework further reinforces its integrity in ensuring that all produced minerals are traceable and free from conflict sources.
“This achievement is not only a corporate milestone but also a reflection of Indonesia’s contribution to the global energy transition through responsible nickel downstreaming. We believe responsible practices are not merely obligations, but the foundation of trust between companies, customers, and the global community,” Klaus added.
Moving forward, Harita Nickel will continue to enhance its due diligence systems and supplier engagement through ongoing audits to remain aligned with customer expectations and evolving international standards.
Further information on Harita Nickel’s Responsible Sourcing practices and Sustainability Report is available on the company’s official website.

Harita Nickel Completed Second RMAP Audit, Reinforces Commitment to a Responsible Nickel Supply Chain

Harita Nickel’s Management Trainee (MT) Program has opened the door for hundreds of young people from North Maluku to build professional careers in the nickel industry. Through this program, a new generation of talent is emerging, individuals who not only master technical competencies but also bring fresh energy to the core of Indonesia’s strategic mineral downstreaming.
One such talent is Fitria Eka Ananda Tan, a young woman from Ternate who never imagined herself pursuing a career in nickel processing. After completing her studies and gaining experience in several roles, Eka decided to apply for the MT program offered by PT Megah Surya Pertiwi (MSP), one of Harita Nickel’s business units on Obi Island.
“I thought at the time, this is a rare opportunity. And it turned out to be true, there are so many things I’ve learned here,” she said.
As an MT participant, Eka underwent a series of intensive training sessions, ranging from orientation and operational fundamentals to project management within a dynamic industrial setting. “The training was semi-military and quite demanding, especially for women. But there were no distinctions; everyone was treated the same because we were all trainees,” she recalled.
&nbsp;
Through this process, participants developed discipline, solidarity, and a strong sense of responsibility. Harita Nickel designed the MT program to prepare young talent to become future leaders, equipping them not only with technical knowledge but also with the company’s core values: Humility, Achievement Oriented, Respect, Integrity, Teamwork, and Accountability.
“We learned a lot about leadership, how to lead a team, make decisions, and work with dedication,” Eka said.
Now, after a decade with Harita Nickel, Eka believes the experience has transformed her perspective on professional life. “This program was not just the start of a career; it was a journey of discovering myself,” she noted.
Eka’s story aligns with those of two of her batchmates, Faisal A. Banjar and Majid Masyud, who now serve in MSP’s Power Plant Department. Faisal recalled joining the first MT selection in 2015, which attracted nearly a thousand applicants. “The competition was incredibly tough, and I’m grateful I made it through,” he said.
After three months of semi-military training on Obi Island and completing a Mandarin language course, Faisal and his fellow trainees were sent to China for advanced training at a smelter facility. There, they gained knowledge in electrical systems, emission control, and a strong work ethic.
“For me, MSP feels like a second home. I hope more young people from North Maluku can have the same opportunity,” he added.
Meanwhile, Majid Masyud from Bacan described the MT experience as an invaluable learning journey. “Beyond technical knowledge, what stood out most was the camaraderie and mutual support among participants. Those experiences shaped how we work professionally today,” he said.
According to Willy Kusuma Dewadi, Head of Technical Support at PT MSP, the company continues to provide pathways for local youth to grow their careers and play a leading role in technology transfer from foreign experts to Indonesian professionals.

“Today, many local youth hold strategic positions in the pyrometallurgical smelter operated through the partnership between Harita Nickel and Xinxing Ductile Iron Pipes Co., Ltd. This is clear evidence that knowledge transfer is taking place effectively and sustainably,” he said.
The stories of Eka, Faisal, and Majid, along with many others across Harita Nickel’s business units, demonstrate that the MT program is more than recruitment; it is a process of shaping people: instilling discipline, nurturing ambition, and building the determination to grow together.

Harita Nickel’s MT Program Prepares Local Youth to Become Future Industry Leaders

Harita Nickel continues to strengthen its support for local businesses on Obi Island through entrepreneurship training with the theme of “QCD &amp; Entrepreneur Development”. This activity was attended by 43 participants, comprising MSMEs, agricultural and fishery cooperatives, and local suppliers, all of whom were supported by the company.
With the rapid growth of the Obi Industrial Park, the demand for food ingredients to support company operations continues to increase. Currently, Harita Nickel and its catering vendors have partnered with 67 local suppliers, a figure that reflects the significant role of the community in the company's supply chain. This situation highlights the pressing need to increase business capacity and standards.
Community Development Superintendent of Harita Nickel, Suryo Aji, emphasized that this activity is not merely technical training, but also a long-term investment in community economic empowerment.
"We want to open up networks, increase productivity, and strengthen the capabilities of MSMEs and local suppliers so that they can meet company standards," he said.
He added that aligning quality, delivery accuracy, and cost efficiency are major challenges in the local supply chain.
Harita Nickel's assisted groups are engaged in three sectors, namely food processing, agriculture, and fisheries. To date, these assisted groups have supplied the needs of four of the company's business units, ranging from canteens and cafes to minimarkets.&nbsp;
"The empowerment of MSMEs has generated a monthly turnover of around Rp14 billion, involving 26 business groups and 65 local suppliers. Overall, this program has created 729 jobs," he added.
The Kawasi Village Government also expressed its appreciation for this initiative. Frans Datang, Secretary of Kawasi Village, believes that the training has a direct impact on local businesses. He hopes that collaboration between companies and MSMEs will continue to be strengthened so that economic opportunities for the community will become more widely available.
The participants also felt the positive impact of the training. Putri Ibrahim (36), chairperson of the Pro Mama group that processes coconut oil, said that the company's assistance helped her group improve quality and marketing, making their business more stable and sustainable.
"The assistance from the company has helped us improve quality and marketing. Our business is more stable and has a significant impact on our family's economy," she said.
In addition to business development and food safety materials, this activity also facilitates meetings between local businesses and financing institutions to expand access to capital for MSMEs.
