New Building, New Hope: Inauguration of Ternate Representative Office

Harita Nickel hosted a graduation ceremony for the Youth Vocational Program (Pelita) on Monday, September 2, 2024, at the Obi Island site in South Halmahera, North Maluku. The 28 graduates had successfully completed a three-month training program focused on operating Overhead Crane heavy equipment.
Through this vocational program, Harita Nickel provides opportunities for local employees in its operational area to improve their skills while also developing their career paths.
Latif Supriadi, Head of External Relations at Harita Nickel, stated that Pelita is part of the company's Community Development and Empowerment (PPM) program in education. He continued by explaining that this vocational program aims to support the sustainability of the company's business by fulfilling the need for a skilled workforce.
"Through Pelita, we are contributing to the government's vision of creating vocational education that meets the needs of today’s industry," he remarked.
This Pelita program is the second batch, following the successful graduation of 14 participants who were previously trained to operate Wheel Loaders, consisting of crew members and daily laborers (THL). This program not only teaches heavy equipment operating skills but also equips participants with mental and physical training, as well as important materials on workplace safety.
"The Pelita vocational education program teaches not just heavy equipment operation but also other essential skills for the company's operations. This is a key step in achieving operational excellence at Harita Nickel," Latif added.
<img alt="C2 dokumentasi kegiatan kelulusan pelita batchii csr 2024 dsc083111 11zon" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/C2_Dokumentasi_Kegiatan_Kelulusan_PELITA_BatchII_CSR_2024_DSC083111_11zon.jpg">
The Head of the Industrial Relations Development Division at the South Halmahera Manpower Office, Ladama La Sabadu, who also attended the event, expressed appreciation to Harita Nickel for continuing its commitment to improving local human resources. Ladama also advised the participants to make the most of the opportunities provided by the company.
“Let us grow and develop the spirit to learn and improve skills and show that South Halmahera's human resources can compete with other regions,” he said.
Meanwhile, participant Fajri Kadili expressed his happiness at completing the Pelita activities and graduating. This resident of Buton Village in Obi Subdistrict, who was previously a crew member, will now be appointed as an operator.
"Thank goodness we have such a great job here with excellent wages and facilities, along with opportunities to improve our skills," said Fajri.
 
Unlike the first batch graduation ceremony, this event included the participants' parents. Jafar Kadili, Fajri Kadili's father, expressed pride that his son works at Harita Nickel and has the chance to improve his skills.
"I am very proud that the company has given my child, who had no skills before, the chance to become a heavy equipment operator. I encouraged my child to work hard and be disciplined to make us proud," he said.
 
The second batch of the Pelita vocational program included 28 local employees from PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF), a business unit of Harita Nickel, and lasted three months. Participants received classroom lessons and field practice under the guidance of experienced mentors. The graduation ceremony marked the end of the training, and those who were crew members will now become Overhead Crane operators

Harita Nickel Continues to Invest in South Halmahera Youth with Heavy Equipment Operation Training

Harita Nickel has introduced a new initiative&mdash;Produk Unggulan Olahan Rempah Maluku Utara, known as Propala, as part of Harita Nickel’s broader Community Development and Empowerment Program (Pengembangan dan Pemberdayaan Masyarakat or PPM). This program specifically targets local women, particularly mothers, now residing in the new settlement of Kawasi Village.
Harita Nickel has launched Produk Unggulan Olahan Rempah Maluku Utara, known as Propala, a new initiative under its Community Development and Empowerment Program. This program focuses on local women, especially mothers, living in the new settlement of Kawasi Village.
 
Ifan Farianda, Harita Nickel's Community Development Manager, explained that Propala was designed as a platform to empower local women by diversifying the use of nutmeg, a crop deeply rooted in the history of North Maluku. Despite nutmeg being the region’s one the most prized commodity, its full potential has long been overlooked. The nutmeg seed has always been harvested, but the flesh, which makes up the majority of the fruit, has been left untapped.
 
“The flesh of the nutmeg is both sweet and slightly tangy, and can be transformed into an array of products, including nutmeg syrup, jam, and the chewy confection, similar to Turkish Delight, known as dodol,” Ifan remarked. 
 
To unlock this potential, Harita Nickel has enlisted the help of small business entrepreneurs from Ternate, who have been conducting training workshops for the women in Kawasi. 
 <img alt="C2 dokumentasi kegiatan propala csr 2024 a74085931 11zon" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/C2_Dokumentasi_Kegiatan_Propala_CSR_2024_A74085931_11zon.jpg">
In a recent workshop, 30 women learned how to process nutmeg into drinks and snacks, as well as how to package these products attractively. The sessions not only provided technical skills but also focused on building entrepreneurial confidence and instilling the basics of running a business.
 
“The mothers in Propala are a new group, joining other women-led businesses we've helped before. This is part of our ongoing effort to support the community's economic stability, especially as they adjust to their new homes,” Ifan added.
 
In a further boost to their business prospects, Harita Nickel has helped secure Pangan Industri Rumah Tangga or PIRT certification for five Propala products: nutmeg syrup, fruit concentrate, air guraka (a traditional herbal drink), jam, and dodol. These certifications open doors for wider market access, allowing the women to sell to employees heading home on leave or visitors to the site.
 
Fauzia, a member of the Propala group, expressed her excitement at participating in the program. “I used to think nutmeg was only valuable for its seeds. Now, we’re making syrups, dodol, candies, and even air guraka. Our region is rich in spices, but before the company came, it was hard to find buyers or even get our hands on the ingredients. But now, with the economy improving, selling these processed products is much easier,” she shared, hopeful for the additional income Propala could bring.
 
The new settlement of Kawasi village, supported by the government and facilitated by Harita Nickel, provides residents with better housing. Since moving in, the community has started to grow economically, with people opening grocery stores and vegetable stalls to serve others.
 
In Propala, Harita Nickel has not only invested in the local economy but in the future of Kawasi’s women, offering them the tools and training to build a sustainable livelihood in the heart of North Maluku’s spice-rich landscape.

Empowering Kawasi Mothers: Harita Nickel Launches Propala in New Settlement

The sky above Pasturi, a small island amidst the waters of Kawasi, is clear. After two days of choppy waves, the sea this morning is calm. The dive team can finally carry out their activities at the blue hole&mdash;a patch of deep blue water surrounded by white sand.
On this morning (August 16, 2024), divers from Harita Nickel’s various business units are about to raise the Red and White flag beneath the sea. This initiative, part of Indonesia’s 79th Independence Day celebrations, symbolizes the company's commitment to preserving the waters around Obi Island.
Jesaya Alfredo, Marine Environment Supervisor at PT Halmahera Persada Lygend, explains that Pasturi's sandy waters are one of three points included in Harita Nickel’s coral reef restoration program. Since its launch in 2021, a total of 1,696 artificial coral reefs have been placed. These cube-shaped, hollow coral structures, made from nickel slag byproducts, have since become home to marine life as natural corals grow on them.
“Why is the water in Kadera calmer than in Pasturi?” Jesaya asks rhetorically. “That’s because Kadera is shielded by several islands, while Pasturi's waters are exposed to the open sea.”
An alumnus of the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), where he studied oceanography, Jesaya explains that waves are influenced by both weather and season. He elaborates that Indonesia’s waters experience two primary seasons: west and east. August falls within the eastern season, where the monsoon winds blow from Australia to Asia from April to October.
He goes on to describe the unique nature of Obi’s waters, which, like much of Eastern Indonesia, boast deep seas and breathtaking underwater views. More than that, Obi’s waters are particularly productive due to the meeting of two major ocean currents&mdash;the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
“This convergence is known as Arlindo,” Jesaya says, “and one of its entry points is through the waters of eastern Indonesia, including Obi. Here, you’ll find plenty of fish with high economic value, though they’re far offshore.”
<img alt="Whatsapp image 2024 10 03 at 2.02.43 pm" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/WhatsApp Image 2024-10-03 at 2.02.43 PM.png"> 
Back to Pasturi, the divers from Harita Nickel’s business units have returned here several times over the past three days, determined to complete their dives. Although they could have been content with diving in Kadera&mdash;another small island near the village of Laiwui&mdash;their sights were set on Pasturi.
“Why are they so eager to dive in Pasturi?” Jesaya smiles. “Besides the stunning underwater views, the blue hole here has much clearer water.”
Remarkably, despite being near the operations of a mining and nickel processing company, the waters of Kawasi remain well-preserved. Thanks in large part to the diligent efforts of Harita Nickel’s Environmental Marine team, of which Jesaya is a key member.
The core mission of the Marine Environmental division is to monitor the waters surrounding the company’s operations. This includes regular checks on marine ecology and water quality. On the ecology front, their routine involves monitoring the growth of coral reefs and identifying the various species of fish in the area. They also keep tabs on meteorological and oceanographic conditions. As for water quality, the team conducts tests on a weekly, monthly, and quarterly basis.
To support these efforts, the team is equipped with advanced tools. Among them is a seawater sampling device outfitted with a CTD meter (conductivity, temperature, and depth) to measure ocean water profiles, and a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) used to inspect underwater structures like piers and pipelines, as well as aquatic environments inaccessible to divers.
“Management has been incredibly supportive, providing us with the necessary equipment. On top of that, they offer us opportunities to enhance our skills through training and certifications,” Jesaya says.
He reflects on the journey that began in 2019, noting how his role has allowed him to delve deeper into the knowledge he gained in school. He feels fortunate to be pursuing a career that aligns with his passion. For him, the sea is a vital source of life, not just for the creatures within it, but also for humans on land.
“The challenge is that Harita Nickel’s operations are so close to the ocean, which means we have to work extra hard to preserve it. But thankfully, we’ve been able to show results,” he says, expressing pride in being part of a company so committed to environmental preservation.

Jesaya Alfredo: The Guardian of Obi’s Seas

Harita Nickel’s mining and nickel ore processing operations are deeply committed to environmental safety, particularly in ensuring that the water discharged from mining areas poses no threat to the surrounding ecosystems. Given that the company’s operational areas border vital aquatic zones, which are home to diverse marine life and crucial to the livelihoods of local fishermen, this commitment takes on added urgency.
To protect the quality of water leaving the mine, the company has created 52 settling ponds across two mining licenses. Thirty-five of these ponds are managed by PT Trimegah Bangun Persada, and the other seventeen by PT Gane Permai Sentosa. The largest pond, Tuguraci 2, has a capacity of 924,000 cubic meters and covers an area of 43 hectares.
Muhamad Riftadi Hidayat, a Senior Mine Hydrology Engineer at PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk, highlights the importance of settling ponds in capturing sediment from soil, rock, and other materials eroded by mining. If not managed, these particles could pollute the environment. “These ponds are essential for keeping the water clean and safe before it's released back into the waterways,” he says.
The settling ponds are carefully designed to allow water to effectively filter out sediment before it is returned to its natural flow. This process ensures that the discharged water is clear and meets strict government quality standards.
At Harita Nickel, managing the settling ponds involves monitoring water quality parameters like pH and Total Suspended Solids (TSS). Dedicated teams from various business units perform daily checks to ensure they meet strict environmental standards.

Indra Maizar, Environmental Superintendent at PT Halmahera Persada Lygend, explains the importance of regular maintenance. The company regularly dredges the ponds when sediment builds up to 70 percent of their capacity. “When sediment reaches 80 percent, we use heavy machinery to deepen the pond,” Indra says.
Dredging prevents sediment buildup from reducing capacity and keeps the water clear before it flows into places like the Todoku River. “Pond Tuguraci 2 can handle water flow rates of 10,000 to 50,000 cubic meters per hour, even during heavy rain,” he adds. The pond also has a retention time of 10 to 15 hours, which helps ensure that upstream water is clear before being released.
“These ponds clearly show the company’s commitment to protecting the environment around the mine,” Indra says. “They also reflect one of Harita Nickel’s core values: teamwork. All business units will keep working toward sustainability and environmental conservation in our operational areas.”

Collaborating for a Greener Future: Harita Nickel's Water Management Initiative

In early June 2024, the JH Hutasoit Auditorium at the Faculty of Animal Science, IPB University in Bogor was filled with hundreds of excited students attending a lecture on environmentally-friendly mining. This event was part of the "Harita Nickel Goes To Campus" (HGTC) program initiated by Harita Nickel, marking the fourth campus visit in this series.
Ir. Tonny Gultom, the Director of Health, Safety, and Environment at Harita Nickel, was the speaker for the lecture, titled “Mining the Future: Environmentally Friendly and Sustainable Nickel for Indonesia.” The talk was moderated by Dr. Ir. Iskandar, a lecturer in Land Resource Management at IPB University.
Tonny was joined by other Harita Nickel leaders, including Latif Supriadi (Head of External Relations), Dr. Retno Dewi Handayani (Green Mining Manager), Windy Prayogo (Environmental Marine Manager), and Dr. Irdika Mansur (Head of the Research Laboratory at IPB University).
The audience consisted of 229 students from various faculties, including Agriculture, Forestry, Fisheries, and Economics.
During the event, Tonny stated that Harita Nickel places the principles of Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) into all its operational activities. He provided examples of various reclamation programs aimed at restoring ecological functions to areas that have been mined.
Dr. Ir. Irdika Mansur, M.For.Sc., from IPB University, emphasized the important role of IPB alumni in the mining industry. He noted that alumni from various disciplines, including community empowerment, forestry, and post-mining land utilization, are greatly needed in this sector.
Students who attended the lecture reported gaining new insights. Niko Bakri, a student from the Forestry and Environment Department of Silviculture, stated, “I gained many new insights that the mining world is not only for mining engineering students but is also open to students from the Forestry Faculty.”
M. Faransani from the Agriculture Faculty, who studies Land Resource Management, shared a similar view. “I want to learn about environmental management in mining, and this event has taught me about reclamation and sustainability,” he said.
To keep students engaged, Harita Nickel organized competitions with the Student Executive Board (BEM) of the Agriculture Faculty, including an infographic contest, a creative video production contest, and an essay competition. These competitions aimed to promote discussions about sustainable nickel mining in Indonesia, with 57 students participating.
In addition to reclamation, Tonny mentioned that Harita Nickel also focuses on revegetation and using former mining sites for factories.
Harita Nickel is dedicated to preserving the quality of seawater around its operations by monitoring coral reefs and adding artificial reefs in Kawasi waters. These reefs provide homes for fish and marine life, helping to maintain biodiversity.
Latif Supriadi highlighted several economic empowerment programs by Harita Nickel on Obi Island, including the Gemar Papeda initiative and the Obi Food Resilience Center (Sentani). These programs have created 691 jobs and supported 65 local suppliers and 26 farmer groups. “There are about 30,000 employees on Obi Island, with monthly transactions reaching IDR 13.2 billion,” Latif said.

Shaping Future Leaders: IPB University Students Discover Sustainable Mining with Harita Nickel

Harita Nickel's successful nickel mining and downstream operations on Obi Island have received praise from academics at Universitas Padjajaran (UNPAD) in Bandung. Professor Mega Fatimah Rosana, a seasoned geology expert at UNPAD, has called the company's practices a model for others to emulate.
During a recent visit to the Obi site, Professor Mega and her colleagues, Dr. Boy Yoseph Cahya Sunan Sakti Syah Alam and Dr. Mochamad Candra Wirawan Arief, observed Harita Nickel's operations from extraction to processing.
Her praise is well-deserved. She believes Harita Nickel strictly follows regulations and shows a commitment to responsible mining practices, including nickel processing and water management, ensuring that discharged water meets environmental standards before reaching the sea.
“I believe Harita Nickel complies with regulations and meets all its environmental obligations. In fact, I would say what they have done exceeds their obligations,” she remarks.
Professor Mega praises Harita Nickel for its effective conservation of mineral resources. The company has turned low-grade limonite, which was once considered waste, into a valuable product using High-Pressure Acid Leaching (HPAL) methods.
“Even the waste from the nickel processing plant, in the form of slag, is repurposed into building materials. I’ve seen the quality of these structures firsthand; they are impressively sturdy,” she adds.
Beyond environmental considerations, she appreciates the company’s commitment to community welfare. Harita Nickel not only supports local government initiatives for regional development and improving residents' living standards but also provides essential facilities, including schools, places of worship, and shopping centers.
“The facilities in this new settlement are more than adequate. I observed that schools are running smoothly, and the local economy is thriving as residents get involved in trade,” she says, highlighting that Harita Nickel's approach could serve as a model for other companies.
The visit by the three UNPAD academics aimed to assess the company’s operations and reinforce its partnership with educational institutions, as well as engage with other stakeholders. During their visit, they also attended the Enviro Talk event, held in celebration of World Environment Day, where one of the participants, Mochamad Candra Wirawan Arief, Ph.D., served as a speaker. They also connected with UNPAD alumni working across various business units at Harita Nickel.
“My long and exhausting journey from Bandung to here was well worth it after witnessing the extraordinary activities of this company. Engaging with enthusiastic employees and reconnecting with alumni here has been truly rewarding,” she concludes.

Sustainable Mining Practice: Unpad Professor Highlights Harita Nickel as a Benchmark for Others

The grand celebration of Indonesia's 79th Independence Day at PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF) was full of festivity. The stage, set up on the futsal field, became a showcase of employee creativity, featuring the local poco-poco dance, singing, stand-up comedy, and a DJ performance to close the event.
In the crowd, Heronikel crew were busy with their tasks—some handled stage lighting and sound at the Front of House (FOH), while cameramen captured live footage, and other crew members welcomed guests at the entrance.
“This is not just an HRGA event; it’s for all of us from every department at HJF, Karunia Permai Sentosa (KPS), and Obi Sinar Timur (OST),” said Christoforus Nanda Rahardian, Employee Relations Specialist at KPS and the event’s head organizer. Christo also expressed gratitude to the management teams from Harita Nickel and Lygend Resources for their support, as well as to the organizing committees from various departments who worked together to make the event a success.
The Independence Day celebration was just one of many activities initiated by the Industrial &amp; Employee Relations (IR &amp; ER) teams from HJF, KPS, and PT Obi Sinar Timur (OST). Taufik Setiaji, Harita Nickel’s Industrial &amp; Employee Relations Manager, stated that the primary responsibility of his team is to foster harmonious industrial relations between the company, employees, and the government. He elaborated that a harmonious relationship is achieved when the company operates in accordance with labor regulations, and employees fully support company policies, guided by the company's core values in achieving shared goals.
“The role of IR and ER here is to be the communication bridge between company management and employees, and between the company and the government, particularly in ensuring compliance with labor regulations. The challenge is how, as the middleman, we can remain balanced between all parties,” he explained, adding that flexible communication is essential to succeed in this challenging role.
<img src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/C2_Dokumentasi_Kegiatan_Pemusnahan_Barang_Sitaan_HJF_2024_DSC001571_11zon.jpg" alt="C2 dokumentasi kegiatan pemusnahan barang sitaan hjf 2024 dsc001571 11zon">
In the field, Taufik continued, his team’s tasks are broken down into two main objectives. The first is enforcing regulations through activities such as socialization, training, and counseling. Most recently, his team initiated the confiscation of prohibited items from employee housing areas, not just as a disciplinary measure but as part of their commitment to upholding Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) standards.
“The second objective is employee relations, achieved through organizing events that foster a sense of togetherness between company management and employees,” he said, citing the Independence Day competitions as one example.
Agusto Riwu GA Sandy, IR Supervisor, added that his team is developing a communication and consultation platform comprising employee representatives from various departments. Named the "Justice Task Force" (Satgas Pembawa Keadilan or SPK), its mission is to help resolve employee issues, not only those related to work but also personal matters.
“For instance, issues like personal debts between employees, breakups, or even blocked ATM cards—while these are personal matters and beyond the scope of IR, they do affect work. Through SPK, we strive to find the best solutions together,” he explained, accompanied by George Tirta, IR Specialist, who added that IR’s role in SPK is as a facilitator, with personnel from various departments trained for this purpose.
<img src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/C2_Dokumentasi_Kegiatan_Profiling_IR-ER_HJF_2024_A74017491_11zon.jpg" alt="C2 dokumentasi kegiatan profiling ir er hjf 2024 a74017491 11zon">
Agusto mentioned the "Heronikel" brand, introduced last year, which symbolizes Harita Nickel's employees. It highlights workers on-site as more than just employees—they are "nickel heroes."The idea behind it is simple yet resonant—those working on-site are not just employees, but nickel heroes. These workers, who leave their homes and families to labor in remote, often harsh conditions, are viewed as more than just providers. They area also national heroes, key contributors in the country’s broader ambition to drive industrial downstreaming and fuel economic growth.
“To put it simply, the purpose of SPK is to build trust among employees, as we provide a platform for every employee to voice their concerns. Heronikel, and its various entertainment initiatives like Herocreative, through events that offer fun and relaxation, serve as a reward for that trust,” Agusto explained.
Taufik underscored the fact that every initiative his team undertakes is driven by one overarching goal: enhancing employee productivity. It’s not a luxury, he suggested, but a necessity in the face of Harita Nickel’s ever-growing operational demands. With eight production lines fully operational at HJF, OST progressing into its third phase of power plant construction, and KPS set to begin operations with 12 production lines by 2025, all face mounting demands.
“What we are doing is an implementation of Harita Nickel’s Core Values. A solid team doesn’t just happen—it’s built on a foundation of mutual trust. This spirit is crucial, especially as production targets leave no room for compromise,” he concluded.

Applying HARITA Core Values, IR & ER HJF Builds Employee Trust

Obi Island, home to Harita Nickel’s operations, is a place of abundant mineral resources. Beyond its waters, teeming with marine biodiversity, this island&mdash;rich in nickel&mdash;also has fertile land. Yet, despite its potential, agriculture here remains underdeveloped.
Recognizing this untapped promise, Harita Nickel, through its Community Development and Empowerment program (Pengembangan dan Pemberdayaan Masyarakat or PPM), has embarked on agricultural initiatives for local residents. The aim is twofold: to help locals achieve food independence and provide them with a steady source of income.
 
Lukmanul Hakim, Agriculture and Fishery Supervisor at Harita Nickel, plays a central role in this mission. A graduate of the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences at Bogor Agricultural Institute (Institut Pertanian Bogor or IPB), he joined Harita Nickel in 2021, initially as a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) staff member. His first assignment was assisting Obi Sehati (Sentra Holtikultura dan Agribisnis Tanggap Iklim or the Center for Horticulture and Climate-Sensitive Agribusiness), a company-supported farming group that focused on growing watermelon.
 
At just 28 years old, this native of Makassar reflects on his journey. One of the main challenges he faced was aligning the visions of farmers, each with different temperaments and perspectives. Patience and effective communication were key in uniting them toward a common goal.
 
“It’s exhausting&mdash;traveling across Obi Island’s villages to provide guidance, and then having to wait months for the harvest. But seeing the results now, it’s all worth it,” said the father of three, with a sense of pride.
 
<img alt="Salamkawasi profilinglukman comdev a7301855" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/SalamKawasi_ProfilingLukman_Comdev_A7301855.jpg" title="Salamkawasi profilinglukman comdev a7301855">
<figcaption>Lukman and a fellow Community Development colleague lift crops from the Salam Kawasi fields.</figcaption>

Three years later, Lukman’s efforts have expanded to twelve agricultural support programs, and nearly all the farming groups he and the Community Development team manage have reached a level of independence. For Lukman, this progress is nothing short of remarkable.
 
“The process was long. I didn’t imagine we’d come this far. Many farmers, who initially had very little income, now earn enough to support their daily needs,” he explained.
 
Some of the standout programs include the Obi Food Security Center (SENTANI) in Buton Village, focused on rice cultivation. Obi Sehati in Akegula and Buton Villages specializes in horticulture as well as watermelon and melon farming. Super Hortima in Laiwui Village focuses on fish farming and horticulture.
 
In Baru Village, the focus is on horticulture and soybean farming, while Jikotamo Village supports horticulture and livestock farming. In Kawasi Village, the SUTAN program is centered on local fishermen, whose catches are sold to meet Harita Nickel’s needs.
 
“Some of the harvest, such as watermelons and melons from Buton Village, and fish from Kawasi Village, is already being supplied to the company,” Lukman noted.
 
Meanwhile, other harvests are used by the farming groups for their own needs or sold within the local communities.
 
“We’re currently supplying up to 10 tons of watermelon to Harita Nickel’s site each month, and about 2 tons of melon,” he added.
 
Lukman, who recently received recognition from the Ministry of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration for his commitment to the acceleration of village development and the achievement of the Village SDGs, remains optimistic. He believes these numbers will continue to grow, in line with increasing demand from the company.
 
“With this, we want to show the existence of an active and effective partnership between the local community and Harita Nickel,” Lukman concluded.

Lukmanul Hakim: Weaving Hope for Food Sovereignty

The Cinema at the HPAL Activity Center, Site Obi, was filled with excitement and enthusiasm as over 230 young men and women from Harita Nickel gathered for the Youth Forum. This Youth Forum marked the third and final event in a series for 2024, closing the year on a high note. Under the theme ‘Satu Harita, Bergerak dan Berdampak’, this forum also celebrated Hari Sumpah Pemuda, carrying the spirit of unity, togetherness, and positive impact.
Sumpah Pemuda spirit among Harita Nickel’s youth was amplified by the presence of Anita Gathmir, a remarkable figure and founder of an SME focused on preserving and reviving Tidore’s traditional weaving, which had been lost for over 100 years.
 
Anita shared her inspiring story and brought a collection of woven pieces showcased in the first-ever fashion show on Obi Island. 8 Harita Nickel team members modeled these woven garments in a fashion show by Puta Dino Kayangan, blending local culture with modern elegance.
 
“Tidore weaving is a heritage with immense historical and cultural value. I’m delighted to introduce it to the young generation on Obi Island, especially at Harita Nickel. I hope that the spirit to preserve this cultural legacy will grow in your hearts, becoming a source of pride for us all as a nation,” said Anita Gathmir.
 
Gita Rotua Marchelia Tambunan, Finance & Accounting Staff from Harita Nickel’s business unit PT. Obi Nickel Cobalt, expressed her pride in being chosen as a model and trusted to present Tidore’s traditional weave by Puta Dino Kayangan.
 
“To be honest, this was my first fashion show in a while, and I’m thrilled to showcase this eastern pride, the traditional Tidore weave. Huge thanks to Ms. Anita for trusting me,” Gita said with joy.

Also attending the Youth Forum was SME Supervisor Harita Nickel, Windi Ashari, who shared her story of empowering women’s groups in Kawasi and Soligi villages. Her dedication has led to award-winning CSR programs that uplift the local community’s welfare through MSME development.
 
“We strive to make a positive impact in Kawasi and Soligi, especially in the SME sector. I also want to encourage my Harita Nickel colleagues to make even the smallest impact in their surroundings,” said Windi Ashari, inspiring forum participants.
 
As the Youth Forum commemorated Hari Sumpah Pemuda, it highlighted the importance of collaboration among young people across all business units at Harita Nickel. Despite diverse business units, each youth member is united as part of Harita Nickel and encouraged to collaborate.
 
At the event’s conclusion, participants left the forum with renewed energy, carrying powerful messages from the speakers and invaluable experiences. Anita and Windi both hoped this forum would be the first step for Harita Nickel’s youth to keep moving forward, continue to create something, and always inspire others.
 
“Harita Nickel has provided a platform for self-actualization for me and everyone here through the Youth Forum. This platform also proves the spirit of impactful movement and collaboration for all of us at Harita Nickel,” Windi Ashari concluded.
 
As the 2024 Youth Forums comes to an end, Harita Nickel reaffirms its commitment to supporting youth development within the company and the surrounding community. Through collaboration, cultural preservation, and sustainable leadership, Harita Nickel hopes to make a greater positive impact on Indonesia and the world.
