Harita Nickel CSR Achievements in Semester 1 of 2024

In celebration of the 2024 Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Month, Harita Nickel’s business units at the Obi site are hosting a series of events spanning from January 12 to February 12, 2024. These activities are designed to raise awareness and strengthen the company’s commitment to workplace health and safety. 
The OHS Month commenced with an opening ceremony on Friday, January 12, 2024, led by each business unit. During the ceremony, the Indonesian Minister of Manpower’s message was conveyed, emphasizing this year’s theme: "Foster an OHS Culture, Stay Healthy and Safe at Work, and Ensure Business Continuity." Additionally, employees reaffirmed their commitment by reciting the Safety Pledge and revisiting the company’s core values, underscoring the critical role of safety in Harita Nickel's operations.
Following the opening ceremony, various business units are organizing a range of activities, including sports competitions, workplace safety initiatives, and community engagement efforts. PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (TBP) is hosting a football tournament, while PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL) is arranging sepak takraw, table tennis, badminton, and futsal competitions.&nbsp;
In terms of non-sporting events, each business unit has created unique opportunities to promote safety and community involvement. PT Megah Surya Pertiwi (MSP) is holding a drawing contest for employees’ children themed around safety, while TBP is conducting a quiz competition and safety rescue demonstrations. HPL is promoting a 5S competition to encourage cleanliness and order in the workplace, and PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF) is organizing a beach clean-up near Kawasi Village.
This year's OHS Month theme serves as a reminder for all Harita employees to integrate health and safety as a fundamental part of the work culture. This approach is vital for protecting employees’ well-being and ensuring the company’s operational continuity.
By fostering a strong culture of health and safety and actively participating in these OHS Month events, Harita Nickel reaffirms its commitment to creating a safe, sustainable, and productive work environment.

​Harita Nickel Commemorates OHS Month with Sports and Workplace Safety Initiatives

On Sunday, January 21, 2024, despite overcast weather, nearly 200 employees from PT Halmahera Persada Lygend, a business unit of Harita Nickel, participated in the Run for Fun and Color Run event at the Living Quarter area. This initiative was designed to strengthen solidarity and promote a collective commitment to enhancing health and safety within the workplace.
“This event aims to foster a sense of belonging and mutual care among employees. We hope that in the future, if unsafe conditions arise in the workplace, colleagues who have established strong bonds will feel empowered to remind one another,” stated Bambang A. Kader, Safety Trainer and Chairman of the Committee.
Bambang emphasized that creating an engaging environment is essential for making education about safety culture both accessible and enjoyable, rather than intimidating. He believes that a robust safety culture will not only improve employee well-being but also enhance the overall productivity of the company.
In addition to running, employees participated in Zumba sessions, which were well-received by attendees. “The event was lively, especially with a Zumba instructor leading the activities. The light rain merely added to the excitement as we engaged in energetic movements together,” remarked Courtney Juditha Rumampuk, known as Sisi.
On the same day, employees from PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel, another business unit of Harita Nickel, participated in a Healthy Walking event and a Beach Clean-up at Kawasi Beach. During the clean-up, the team successfully collected over 50 garbage bags, amounting to nearly 2 tons of waste.
Hendri Saputro, Occupational Health and Safety representative at Harita Nickel, emphasized that the recent Healthy Walking and Beach Clean-up event reinforces the company’s commitment to promoting a culture of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) beyond its operational areas.
“This initiative demonstrates that we can engage in physical activity while also preserving the environment. This is the message we want to share with the community. We believe that a healthy environment fosters a healthy society,” Hendri stated.
He further noted that raising awareness about environmental cleanliness, particularly along coastal areas, could drive economic growth through tourism, which remains an untapped potential for Obi Island. “For fishing enthusiasts, this island could become a prime destination for anglers, with opportunities to catch Grouper and even Giant Trevally,” he added.
This year’s National OHS Month serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining sustainable business practices alongside the welfare of communities living near industrial areas. With a focus on mitigating workplace accident risks, all employees at Harita Nickel are working together to cultivate a strong OHS culture that benefits both the organization and the surrounding community.

Inside Looking Out, Outside Looking In: Two Strategies by Harita Nickel to Enhance Health and Safety in the Workplace

The National <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/sustainability/occupational-health-safety" target="_blank">Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)</a> Month (Bulan&nbsp;K3 Nasional) is a significant annual event in Indonesia, especially in the mining sector, including at&nbsp;<a href="http://tbpnickel.com" target="_blank">Harita Nickel</a>. This observance goes beyond a formal ceremony, reflecting the company's strong commitment to enhancing awareness and embedding OHS principles into everyday operations.
A key focus for improving OHS standards is the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). In this context, PPE is not merely a regulatory requirement but a critical part of the company’s strategy to ensure the safety and well-being of employees across all job functions. 
The importance of PPE lies in its preventive role, designed to reduce the risk of workplace accidents. It provides essential protection against potential hazards, ranging from helmets, gloves, and safety shoes to safety glasses and other specialized gear tailored to specific tasks.
However, proper PPE usage is equally critical. Employee awareness and commitment to wearing PPE correctly are essential for the effective implementation of OHS practices. To support this, the company consistently conducts <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/media/kabar-obi/k3l/gelar-pelatihan-p3k-harita-nickel-tingkatkan-standar-keselamatan-kerja" target="_blank">training</a> and education, particularly for high-risk roles, through workshops and seminars focused on OHS, aimed at strengthening their understanding of workplace safety.
Therefore National OHS Month is an opportunity to reaffirm the company’s commitment to fostering a strong and sustainable safety culture. Through continuous efforts and shared responsibility, Harita Nickel aims to create a safe, healthy, and productive work environment for all employees&mdash;because safety is part of our culture.

PPE: More Than Just an Accessory, It's a Necessity

In celebration of Indonesia's 79th Independence Day,&nbsp;<a href="http://tbpnickel.com" target="_blank">Harita Nickel</a>, through its business unit <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/about-us/subsidiaries/refinery" target="_blank">PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL)</a>, organized a Fun Walk on Sunday, August 4, 2024. The event, held at the PT HPL Living Quarter, was open to all employees and is part of the company’s annual initiative to mark Independence Day while strengthening team cohesion and fostering a sense of national pride among staff. 
The Fun Walk, which commenced at 6:00 AM local time, saw enthusiastic participation from hundreds of PT HPL employees across various departments. The route covered the Living Quarter area, offering scenic views of Obi Island’s natural landscape.
In addition to the Fun Walk, the company hosted a series of activities to further energize the Sunday morning event. These included a health exercise session and traditional games such as a cracker-eating contest and marble races. The festivities were lively and competitive, with the crowd cheering for their colleagues. 
"The event was a lot of fun! Even though this isn’t my first time participating in such company activities, it always feels enjoyable," said Agretia Griani Tiara, one of the enthusiastic Fun Walk participants.

Earlier, on Sunday, July 21, 2024, another Harita Nickel business unit, <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/about-us/subsidiaries/smelter" target="_blank">PT Megah Surya Pertiwi (MSP)</a>, hosted a similar event, attended by hundreds of PT MSP employees, underscoring the company’s commitment to fostering team spirit and celebrating the essence of independence.

In addition, various traditional and unique competitions, such as Dump Truck (DT) pulling contests, kite festivals, and poco-poco dances, were held across Harita Nickel's business units operating on Obi Island.

Harita Nickel Celebrates Indonesia’s 79th Independence Day with Fun Walk at Its Operational Site

<a href="https://tbpnickel.com/media/kabar-obi/highlight/kenal-nikel-lebih-dekat-definisi-sejarah-dan-manfaatnya" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nickel</a> is a transition element with a mixture of iron and non-iron properties. It is highly conductive and, in addition to being very strong, is also malleable. As a result, there are many potential uses and various benefits of nickel to found in our daily lives.
<a href="https://nickelinstitute.org/en/nickel-applications/">Data</a> from nickelinstitute.org reveals that around 29 percent of all nickel supply is used for consumables and food processing, a further 25 percent is used in mobility and transportation, 14 percent supports the processing industry, 12 percent is utilized in construction, 12 percent is used in energy, and the remaining 8 percent is allocated to other uses.
But exactly how is this nickel used? Below are just some of the many benefits of nickel in daily life.

<h2>1. Kitchen Equipment and Electronics</h2>
Nickel is flexible, heat resistant, and will not disintegrate when cleaned. In addition, its silvery white appearance also makes it visually attractive. As a result, nickel is widely used in combination with other metals – such as stainless steel – in a range of kitchenware, cooking utensils, and even medical equipment.
In addition, nickel alloys are able to conduct electricity, can be easily magnetized, and are resistant to corrosion. This makes them an extremely useful material in the electronics industry.
<h2>2. Factories</h2>
Processed products such as fertilizers, plastics, and pharmaceuticals are produced in corrosive, gas-filled, and high-temperature environments. Therefore, nickel-alloyed metals are highly favored, because they provide solutions to these challenges.
<h2>3. Architecture and Construction</h2>
Nickel's rust-resistant and malleable properties are well-suited to a range of purposes, including architecture and construction.
For example, in infrastructure development projects, nickel-alloyed metals such as stainless steel are often used as load-bearing components in bridges. In addition, stainless steel is also used to make complementary road infrastructure such as barriers and handrails.
Stainless steel is also commonly utilized in commercial buildings as window frames, balcony supports, and building facades.
<h2>4. The Energy Sector&nbsp;</h2>
Nickel alloys are now also widely used in the energy sector, from oil and gas to power plants, and the new renewable energies industry.

<h3>a. Oil and Gas</h3>
In the oil and gas industry, materials with nickel alloys are widely used in piping components, valves, and vessels, etc. This is because nickel alloys are especially resistant to corrosion.
<h3>b. Power Plants</h3>
Power plants work by ‘cooking’ fuel to produce steam that will turn a turbine. Therefore, heat- and corrosion-resistant materials are needed to ensure the durability of components in boilers and heat exchangers.
<h3>c. New and Renewable Energy</h3>
Hydroelectric and wind power plants are often located at sea, which means corrosion poses a major challenge. Stainless steel and copper-nickel alloys are used to overcome this problem.
In solar power plants, materials with nickel alloys are used to capture and conduct heat that can be processed into electricity.
<h2>5. Batteries in Electric Vehicles</h2>
Another of the key benefits of nickel can be found in electric vehicles (EV), specifically as the cathodes in&nbsp;<a href="https://tbpnickel.com/id/media/kabar-obi/highlight/apa-sih-fungsi-nikel-pada-baterai-kendaraan-listrik" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EV batteries</a>.
Nickel is used for this purpose due to its ability to store comparatively more energy than other materials commonly used in batteries, such as lead. This makes it ideally suited to EV batteries, which require large amounts of energy.

<h2>Mining and Processing at Harita Nickel</h2>
Nickel is a raw material with many strategic applications, both now and in the future. At Harita Nickel, we not only mine nickel but also process nickel ore into derivative products.
Harita Nickel has a Rotary Kiln Electric Furnace (RKEF) <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/about-us/subsidiaries/smelter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">smelter</a> facility that is capable of processing high-grade nickel ore (saprolite) into ferronickel, which can later be processed into stainless steel.
In addition, Harita Nickel also has a <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/about-us/subsidiaries/refinery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">High-Pressure Acid Leaching (HPAL)</a> facility to process low-grade nickel ore (limonite) into Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate (MHP), nickel sulfate, and cobalt sulfate. These three products are the raw materials used to make cathodes in the batteries of electric vehicles.<script src="https://cdn.flmngr.com/widgets.js?apiKey=FLMNFLMN" data-ts="1784624045255"></script>

The Various Uses and Benefits of Nickel in Daily Life

Family plays an important role in reducing the rate of workplace accidents. In line with this fact, PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk or Harita Nickel, invites employees' families to be actively involved in managing the risk of fatigue for their family member who works in the company.
Recently, the Occupational Health, Safety, and Training (OHST) Department, in collaboration with the External Relations Department, provided education and counseling to the wives and families of local employees about the risks of fatigue that can lead to work accidents.
Risda Putri Ayudya, Management System Engineer at the OHST Department, said the event involving employees' families is part of the Off The Job Safety program. She continued that this activity is also part of the company's commitment to implementing occupational health and safety (OHS) policies in its operational areas.
“The role of the family is very important in controlling occupational accidents. In this event, we invite local employees' family who live around the company to participate in fatigue management. This is primarily related to the need for workers to rest at home both physically and mentally,” Risda explained.
<img alt="Off the job safety harita nickel fatigue management 2" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/Off The Job Safety Harita Nickel Fatigue Management-2.jpg" title="Off the job safety harita nickel fatigue management 2">
<figcaption>A presentation on fatigue risk management, addressing common daily health concerns, and emergency response protocols.</figcaption>
The 32 attendees were enthusiastic throughout the event. They learned about fatigue management, including what causes fatigue, its effects on physical and mental health, and how families can help manage it. They also received basic life support training for handling emergencies. 
Interestingly, before the workshop, participants were given a guided tour by the company’s safety team to see where their family works.
"This session made me realize how risky my husband's job is, and it almost brought me to tears. Now, we as wives can be more attentive to their rest needs at home," said Jean Gaot, one of the participants.
 
&nbsp;Jean, whose husband works in the smelter area of PT Halmahera Persada Lygend, shared her happiness in gaining basic knowledge about handling emergencies like fires, floods, and other unexpected disasters.

Preventing Accidents: Harita Nickel's Fatigue Management Program Reaches Employees' Families

Each month, PT Halmahera Persada Lygend, a business unit of Harita Nickel, hosts Management Walkthrough (MWT) activities. In this activity, Harita Nickel and Lygend Resources Management went directly to see the situation and greet employees on-site.
The last MWT on August 26, 2024, was divided into two groups. The first group, led by General Manager Shi Wentang, along with the Technical Support Manager, Dian Kristiyanto, inspected the area from the Acid Plant to the Processing Residue Facility. Meanwhile, the second team, led by Xing Jinglong, Department Head of Production, and Technology Manager Jin Tao, focused on the Sulfate Nickel Plant and the Technology Laboratory.
This activity provides an excellent opportunity for field employees, known as Insan Harita, to engage directly with Top Management about various technical issues and Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) aspects.

“Alongside our management responsibility to continuously enhance operational excellence, we hope that the MWT activities will also offer moral support and communication channel to our employees,” explained Dian Kristiyanto, fondly known as Kris.
Kris added that the activities showcase the collaboration among nations at the Obi site, where Harita Nickel and Lygend Resources work together to improve operational excellence in a competitive nickel industry. The MWT reflects Harita Nickel's core values: Humility, as leaders assess areas for improvement in the field; Teamwork, seen in collaboration across departments and nations; and Accountability, where every MWT record contributes to collective improvement. Participants are encouraged to embrace evaluations and remain open to positive feedback.
During the MWT activities, the security department is also involved in assessing safety aspects to ensure that the work environment and company assets are secure.

“Building a strong HSE culture requires commitment from everyone, including management. The records from the MWT will be shared with all relevant parties, and follow-up actions will be monitored regularly,” added Kris.
Gatra Pinem, Business Control Improvement Manager, noted that the MWT is a key element of the Continuous Improvement spirit at Harita Nickel. “The MWT allows us to evaluate and improve our operational processes directly. By involving management and various departments, we promote continuous improvement and ensure that every step positively impacts the company,” explained Gatra.

Gatra added that through MWT, management also conducts evaluations on the implementation of 5S principles (sort, set in order, shine, standardize, and sustain) by directly observing operations in the field. These 5S principles serve as a critical foundation for Harita Nickel’s continuous improvement process, driving operational excellence across the board.

Management Walkthrough: Synergy to Improve Operational Excellence at Harita Nickel

The 79th Anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia is a momentum for all Harita employees to reflect on the company's Core Values in order to contribute in materializing the vision of an Advanced Indonesia in 2045.
Harita Nickel's Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) Director, Tonny Gultom, in his speech at the ceremony on August 17, 2024 conveyed the journey of Harita Nickel that stated as a mining company has now transformed into an integrated and sustainable nickel processing technology company.
Tonny said that from the seven pillars in this year's independence theme “Nusantara Baru, Indonesia Maju”, four of them are relevant to Harita Nickel's operational activities on Obi Island, namely economic growth, sustainability, green economy, and unity and hope.
Regarding economic growth, he explained, Harita Nickel through PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL) and PT Halmahera Jaya Feronikel (HJF) continues to produce nickel processing materials, which are needed for the advancement of world civilization.
In terms of environmental sustainability, Harita Nickel's post-mining reclamation program has a large target of 30 hectares by this year. The company has also started an initiative named “Good Start from Obi” as an effort to reduce single-use plastic waste in its operational areas.
“This is an extraordinary achievement. Whereas about 10 years ago, we only focused on the nickel mining sector. However, today we are able to process nickel mining products, and even open up wider employment opportunities for local people in North Maluku,” he said.
According to Tonny, the company's success in carrying out the downstream mandate from the Indonesian government is due to the solid cooperation between all stakeholders. Especially the employees across various business units of Harita Nickel and its partners.
The key to that success, Tonny emphasized, is because every individual in Harita Nickel is convinced and believes in the company's Core Values and makes it a shared culture in their workplace, which are Humility, Achievement oriented, Respect for every individual, Integrity and Accountability.
“We can make all these achievements, inseparable from the role of every Insan Harita, who practiced all the Corporate Core Values in their daily work and contributed to Indonesia. Let's continue this good culture, and one Harita moving forward toward Golden Indonesia,” Tonny said, closing the ceremony.<img alt="Primus priyanto hut ri ke79 harita nickel" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/Primus-Priyanto-HUT-RI-Ke79-Harita-Nickel.jpg" title="Primus priyanto hut ri ke79 harita nickel"><figcaption>Primus Priyanto, Head of Mining Engineering at PT Trimegah Bangun Persada (TBP), presided over the flag-raising ceremony held at the PT TBP site.</figcaption>
In line, the Head of Mining Engineering of PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk, Primus Priyanto, encouraged all Harita employees to consistently apply the company's core values in their daily work. According to him, this is an effort to realize the company's vision and mission in contributing to the nation.
“What can we contribute as Insan Harita in commemorating the Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia, of course by applying our company values. As we move the company forward, it is our collective effort to contribute towards an advanced Indonesia,” he concluded.
For information, Harita Nickel through its business units operating on Obi Island held a ceremony to commemorate the 79th Anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia. In addition to being held on the ground, the ceremony was also held underwater around the company's operations by involving professional divers representing each business unit. This activity is to emphasize the company's commitment to sustainable operations.

79th Indonesian Independence Day, One Harita Moving Forward Towards Golden Indonesia

Many professionals start their careers with small steps, but not all manage to jump to higher steps quickly. Novianda, a young professional who began his journey as a Chinese translator at Harita Nickel, was among the lucky ones.
Novi's career journey began in 2019, when he joined PT Halmahera Persada Lygend, one of Harita Nickel's business units, as a translator in the Warehouse Department. His main duty is to ensure that communication between local and foreign workers goes smoothly. With a strong background in Chinese, Novi is a valuable asset for the company.
“I initially found this position as an opportunity to gain work experience. But then I realized that there are lot things to learn and develop here,” he revealed.
Novi's performance did not go unnoticed by his superiors and the company. A year later, he gained new responsibilities as a Foreman in his department. According to him, his role transition from Translator to Foreman was not without challenges. From administrative work, he began to get involved in leading a small team in the field.&nbsp;
“I have to learn a lot about team management and day-to-day operations. Fortunately, since becoming a translator, I am also required to be able to support operational activities,” he said. 
 
Previous experience involved in warehouse operations is an advantage for him. With a high dedication and commitment, Novi managed to show effective leadership and ensure efficient operations. As a result, his career continued to climb. After two years as Foreman, he has now been promoted to Supervisor. In his new position, Novi is responsible for broader operations and leads a larger team. Unmitigated, the total personnel in his team reached 200 people. It consisted of a foreman, translator and administrative staff, to operators and crew.
“We support from general goods, office stationery, tools to production spare parts. We have operators and crews for loading and unloading of goods from the jetty,” he explained.
With the demands of high operational needs, Novi's current responsibilities are not light and of course, there are also many challenges. He pointed out, that when there are large-scale maintenance activities, not infrequently there is a need for procurement of goods that were not planned. Whereas ideally, ordering goods must be at least two months in advance, since Obi is far from urban access. To get around this, he must find alternatives so that operations are not hampered.
He explained that his team conducts stock opname periodically to control the entry and exit of goods and their use. It is also supported by a special application connected to the relevant department, and the report can be accessed online headquarters.
