On the long journey to the Obi site, Bacan Island may not be the first destination that comes to mind for Harita Nickel employees. However, for Bahtiar, a member of the Environment Department of PT Dharma Cipta Mulia (DCM), one of Harita Nickel's business units operating on Obi Island, the journey back to the site was an opportunity to uncover one of the hidden treasures around their workplace.
“Before getting back to the Obi site, let's take a walk!” said Bahtiar excitedly, after a long and tiring journey from Pasuruan, East Java. With assignments lasting up to 10 weeks, many of Harita's people feel the need to refresh their minds and bodies before returning to their work routines. And that was the reason behind Bahtiar's invitation to explore Sibela Beach. 
<img alt="Pesona pantai sibela" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/Pesona Pantai Sibela.jpeg"> 
The beach, located 18 kilometers from the center of Labuha City, is known for its stunning natural beauty. The soft white sand stretches out, as if inviting anyone to walk barefoot and feel the warm touch of sand grains on the soles of their feet. The calm waves caress the beach, providing a natural rhythm that soothes the soul. The sea water is clear blue, so clear that the bottom is clearly visible, reflecting the glittering sunlight like a jewel in the middle of the ocean.
 
While the sun shines, the coastal panorama offers more than just visual beauty. From the jetty, the hills of Bacan Island are silhouetted against the bright tosca green sea - a sight rarely seen in urban areas.
 
“This beach is like a hidden gem for us,” says Bahtiar, gazing at the beauty unfolding before them. “Here, we can do snorkeling and enjoy the amazing colors of the coral reefs under the sea.”
 
As the clock strikes noon, my stomach begins to cry out for attention. Sibela Beach offers not only natural beauty, but also appetizing local cuisine. The food menu here is relatively affordable, ranging from fried bananas, grilled fish, to young coconut ice that is perfect for quenching thirst.
 
<img alt="Pantai sibela pasir putih" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/Pantai Sibela Pasir Putih.jpg"> 
“I think we've found more than just a transit point today,” Bahtiar said in a soft tone, looking at his fellow travelers. They smiled as they gazed at the sandy expanse of Sibela Beach. “It's really beautiful. I feel like I want to stay here for a long time and I'm too lazy to go back to Obi,” said one of Bahtiar's friends, which was greeted with laughter from all of them.
 
Their moment together at Sibela Beach was a memorable one. With hearts full of beautiful memories, they returned to Labuha with plans to share their experience with other Insan Harita. Sibela Beach is not just a hidden beach on Bacan Island, but a favorite destination for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty.
 
However, Bahtiar also reminded the importance of preserving the environment. “We must remember to maintain the beauty of this beach environment by not littering, especially into the sea,” he said. As American environmental researcher John Muir said: take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints, kill nothing but time.

The Beauty of Sibela Beach, a Hidden Paradise on Bacan Island

PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (TBP) once again hosted its annual carnival in celebration of Indonesia's 79th Independence Day. Themed “A New Nusantara, A Progressive Indonesia”, the third installment of this highly anticipated event delivered an even more vibrant and colorful spectacle than previous years.
The event took place on Sunday morning, September 1, 2024, at the football field within the TBP office and residential area in Nirwana. A total of 17 teams, representing various departments and contractors, showcased their creativity through artistic performances, complemented by costumes and ornaments that highlighted the unique cultural identity of Indonesia's diverse regions.

The carnival parade commenced at the football field, where each team performed in front of the panel of judges. The Preparations & Lab Department opened the event with a stunning display inspired by traditional wayang (shadow puppetry). The Plant Department concluded the performances with a captivating narrative on the spirit of post-independence struggles and nation-building.

Following a thorough evaluation, the judges awarded the Production Department first place for their compelling presentation of traditional dances from multiple regions, complete with authentic costumes. The HRGA Department secured second place with their intricate Ogoh-ogoh statue, an iconic element of Balinese culture, while the Management Team earned third place with a tribute to Javanese artistry.

Ayrthon Christovallen Blasius Mongan, a member of the Production Department's winning team, shared his excitement about the victory. “We showcased dances from various regions with costumes that truly embodied their cultural significance. Preparations included daily practice sessions after work and collaborative efforts to acquire the costumes, some of which were specially ordered or brought by colleagues returning from leave,” he explained.

Younsel Evand Roos, Operational Director of PT TBP, who also participated in the Management Team's presentation, emphasized the importance of such events in fostering camaraderie and cultural preservation. “This annual carnival is not just a creative outlet; it also strengthens team spirit and highlights the rich cultural tapestry of Indonesia,” he remarked.

The TBP Carnival 2024 served as the grand finale to the series of events commemorating Indonesia’s Independence Day, organized by PT TBP and PT Gane Permai Sentosa (GPS), a subsidiary of Harita Nickel. Leading up to the carnival, employees participated in a variety of competitions, including sports such as badminton, futsal, and sepak takraw, as well as artistic events like dance battles and the highly anticipated TBP Idol singing competition.

This year’s carnival successfully combined the celebration of Indonesian cultural heritage with a platform for employee creativity and engagement, reaffirming the company's commitment to fostering unity and cultural appreciation within its workforce.

On Monday morning, June 17, 2024&mdash;the second day of Eid al-Adha 1445 H&mdash;dozens of residents gathered in front of the Al-Jami’ Mosque in Soligi Village, a community located near Harita Nickel's operations on Obi Island. They had come together to witness the special ritual of animal sacrifice carried out through a unique, time-honored tradition.
The two goats selected for the sacrifice were first fed the finest grass and fresh leaves. Once they had eaten their fill, the goats were bathed and sprayed with perfume. Next, they were dressed with clothes on their bodies and turbans on their heads. With these preparations, the goats looked neat and fragrant.

“This special treatment symbolizes the love Prophet Ibrahim had for his son, Prophet Ismail,” said Ishak, the imam leading the ritual, as he explained the meaning behind the tradition.

Next, the two pampered goats were paraded around the mosque three times. The villagers, including children, watched solemnly as they participated in the procession.

<figcaption>Before the sacrifice, the goats were bathed, dressed in white clothes, and then paraded around the mosque.</figcaption>

<figcaption> </figcaption>
After this display of care, the goats were ready for the sacrifice. Ishak led the slaughter with great precision. The animals' eyes were covered with burial cloths, and the slaughterer held his breath throughout the procedure to ensure the ritual was performed respectfully.

Following the sacrifice, the imam and the villagers sat on mats and recited prayers until the goats had fully passed. This sacred moment deeply touched everyone present, as the air was filled with reverence.

“This is how our ancestors carried out the tradition, and we continue to uphold it as long as it remains in accordance with religious norms,” Ishak explained.

Once the ritual was complete, the villagers worked together to process the meat, preparing various dishes to be shared among all.

However, the Eid al-Adha celebrations did not end there. In the evening, the villagers gathered once again for a Ngibi performance in the village square. Representatives from Harita Nickel were also present to enjoy the event.

<img alt="Festival ngibi soligi" src="https://api.tbpnickel.com/storage/images/old/images/Festival Ngibi_Soligi_88_11zon.jpg" title="Festival ngibi soligi">
<figcaption>The Ngibi cultural performance was further enriched by a pencak silat competition for students from elementary to high school in Soligi Village.</figcaption>

Ngibi is a traditional art form of the Buton tribe, the majority ethnic group in Soligi. The dance is performed in pairs, accompanied by the sounds of a gong and drum, with no lyrics. Female dancers perform the Cungka Dance, followed by the male dancers performing the Ngibi Dance. A significant aspect of the Ngibi Dance is that male dancers are prohibited from touching the female dancers as a sign of respect.

This year's festivities were further enhanced with a pencak silat competition, involving students from elementary through high school. The village head, Madiasi La Siriali, explained that this inclusion of younger generations helps connect them with the traditions of their ancestors.

“We are grateful to Harita Nickel for supporting us in preserving our traditions and helping to pass them down to the next generation,” Madiasi said, acknowledging the company's involvement.

The evening in Soligi was filled with joy as both the villagers and Harita Nickel representatives shared in the warmth and camaraderie of the celebration. More than just the sacrifice, Eid al-Adha in Soligi represents a time for strengthening the bonds of community and deepening the relationship between residents and the company.

The Unique Tradition of Soligi Residents Honoring Eid al-Adha

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

Obi Island welcomed a new day and a new friend from Tidore. Her name is Anita Gathmir, a talented woman and the founder of Puta Dino Kayangan, a SME business focused on the preservation and development of traditional Tidore weaving.
The arrival of Anita Gathmir and her team aimed to share a wealth of knowledge and experience on innovation in MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) development with Harita employees and housewives in Kawasi Village, Obi Island. On this occasion, this woman of Tidore Sultanate descent&mdash;bearing the Kaicil surname&mdash;also introduced traditional weaving crafts, a heritage of her ancestors, which she revived after it had been lost for a century.
 
“My first impression of this place is incredible. I was amazed by Harita Nickel’s efforts to empower the surrounding community, one of which is through SME,” she said, adding that it was her first time visiting Obi Island and being able to see the mining operational area.
The concrete efforts to empower the people of Obi Island, particularly in Kawasi, are demonstrated through the products of the Obi Jaya Mandiri SME, nurtured by Harita Nickel. SME Supervisor Harita Nickel, Windi Ashari, explained that various snack products from these SME include a range of options.
“We call it Obi Snack, consisting of various brands like Horiwo Tuna Crackers and Horiwo Roa Sambal,” she explained while offering these products to Anita Gathmir to try.
So far, there are seven business units under the Obi Jaya Mandiri SME, including Obi Snack for snack foods, Hop Mart as a mini-market, Nyala Cafe and Prosa Cafe in the food and beverages sector, Promama producing products from virgin coconut oil (VCO) and coconut oil, Rute Kawasi processing tempeh, and Rute Soligi producing tofu. With these seven business units, the total revenue generated reaches 700 million rupiah per month. This proves that the benefits of Harita Nickel’s Community Development and Empowerment (PPM) program can be directly felt by the local residents.
During her visit with the extraordinary women in Kawasi Village, Anita Gathmir, as the founder of Puta Dino Kayangan, did not forget to showcase her world-renowned woven products and briefly demonstrate how to weave the traditional Tidore textiles. Her success in preserving the distinctive Tidore weaving is attributed to her continuous efforts to innovate in product development.

<figcaption>Anita Gathmir demonstrates weaving techniques to the women entrepreneurs of Obi Jaya Mandiri SME in Kawasi Village.</figcaption>

“Product innovation can come from the way we package the products we make or even change the shape of our products to have certain characteristics. The women of Kawasi need to do this, so that their products have a distinctive identity that represents Obi Island,” she explained.
This message inspired the women in Kawasi Village to be more confident and to innovate in the future. “Thank you, Ms. Anita, for your presence and for providing motivation and sharing experiences to improve the Harita Nickel SME in the future. We are very happy!” said Windi, who mentors the women of the Obi Jaya Mandiri SME.
After meeting with the women in Kawasi, Anita Gathmir also visited some PPM initiatives undertaken by Harita Nickel, namely the Greenhouse and the New Settlement Area in Kawasi Village.
Corporate Social Responsibility Supervisor Harita Nickel, Albertus Darukumar, explained that the Greenhouse owned by Harita Nickel in the Salam Kawasi area develops various products such as melons and golden melons.
“So far, we have developed two varieties, specifically for the regular melon, which has been fully absorbed by the company. For the golden melon, the market is more niche and premium because its taste is much better, even though its price is slightly higher. Many people have become addicted to our golden melon,” he concluded confidently, which was met with laughter from the entire Puta Dino Kayangan team.
While trying the melons and golden melons produced, Anita Gathmir and her team from Puta Dino Kayangan expressed their appreciation for the efforts made. “I really didn’t expect the efforts that Harita Nickel is putting into supporting and caring for the environment and its communities to be so commendable,” she said.
After visiting the Greenhouse in the Salam Kawasi area, the next location visited was the New Settlement Area in Kawasi Village. This settlement area is gradually being inhabited by residents from the Old Kawasi Village. There are a total of 259 houses, which will increase, along with facilities such as a mosque, church, office, clinic, and educational facilities.
“Again, this is the first time I’ve seen a company that goes out of its way to build residential homes for the local population,” said Anita while observing the New Settlement Area in Kawasi Village.
 
The visit to CSR projects by Harita Nickel, concluded with enjoying traditional Obi fried bananas while drinking pure coconut water. It was a sweet ending to Anita Gathmir's first visit with the Puta Dino Kayangan team to the site. Anita’s initial perception of the mining area changed dramatically after seeing what Harita Nickel is doing, as this is what the mining industry should do: continuously preserve and empower the land and the people working within it
