The second agenda item of the EGMS was to approve the delegation of authority to the Board of Commissioners, subject to prior written approval from the majority Series B Shareholder, to approve the Company’s 2026 Work Plan and Budget (RKAP), including any amendments.

SMBR Vice President of Corporate Secretary Hari Liandu stated that this performance achievement is the result of the Company’s consistent implementation of its cost leadership and operational excellence strategies across the board.

“This performance growth is the result of the implementation of operational excellence across various sectors, from optimizing cost to service, achieving more efficient logistics rates, controlling and reducing clinker factors, to increasing the utilization of alternative fuels and raw materials, as well as synergies with SIG, our parent company,” Hari concluded.

, ,

JAKARTA – PT Semen Baturaja Tbk (SMBR), a subsidiary of PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG), has once again demonstrated its consistency in driving sustainable business transformation. At the 2025 Indonesia Corporate Sustainability Award (ICSA), organized by PT Olahkarsa Inovasi Indonesia and ACEXI (Association of Carbon Emission Experts Indonesia), SMBR won three prestigious awards.

The three awards include a GOLD award for Circular Economy Excellence through “From Waste to Energy: Sludge Oil Innovation as a Green Energy Solution for the Cement Industry,” a SILVER award for Biodiversity Excellence through “Urban Forest Conservation as an Effort to Preserve Fauna in South Sumatra,” and a BRONZE award for Energy Efficiency Excellence through “C-GAIN: Cement Grinding Aid for Innovation & Energy Efficiency.” This recognition demonstrates that SMBR’s sustainability program is not only recognized externally but also has significant operational and environmental impacts.

The award was received by SMBR’s Senior Manager of Health, Safety & Environment, Erwinsya, on behalf of management, on Friday (November 28th) at the Batang Industropolis Special Economic Zone (KEK), Central Java.

Erwinsya stated that this achievement is a testament to the hard work and collaboration of all employees and serves as a source of motivation for the company. “This award encourages us to continue strengthening our sustainability initiatives. This recognition demonstrates that our efforts are on the right track and motivates us to pursue further breakthroughs,” he said.

This achievement was followed by tangible results on the ground. In the Circular Economy Excellent category, the utilization of sludge oil recorded a significant contribution to energy efficiency. Throughout 2024, this program utilized 643.66 tons of sludge oil, generating 87.30 TJ (Tera Joules) of energy, replacing approximately 4,669.7 tons of coal, and providing savings of over IDR 4.88 billion per year, while also supporting carbon emission reductions.

In the Biodiversity Excellence category, SMBR has designated the Baturaja City Forest, a 106-hectare conservation area, as its operational area. Biodiversity monitoring has identified protected species including the Long-tailed Monkey, the Javan Langur, the Mouse Deer, the Javan Hawk-eagle, and others. This demonstrates the area’s vital role as both a wildlife habitat and a sustainable green space surrounding the company’s operations.

Furthermore, in the Energy Efficiency Excellence category, the Cement Grinding Aid for Innovation & Energy Efficiency (C-GAIN) innovation has had a significant impact on energy savings and emissions reductions. In 2024, the implementation of C-GAIN, using 476.29 tons of CGA, successfully reduced the clinker factor by 2.14%—equivalent to a savings of 13,898 tons of clinker, reducing energy requirements by 45,385 GJ (Giga Joules), and reducing coal consumption by 2,347 tons. This program also resulted in cost savings of over IDR 1.36 billion and reduced emissions by approximately 4,357 tons of CO₂-eq.

Erwinsya emphasized that all of these innovations reflect the company’s increasingly mature sustainability direction. “Innovations such as sludge oil, strengthening biodiversity conservation areas, and energy efficiency through C-GAIN demonstrate that SMBR continues to move towards greener, more efficient, and more responsible operations.

Rahmat expressed his appreciation for the recognition given to SMBR. “This award demonstrates SMBR’s continued commitment to maintaining the quality of its sustainability reports through credible data and programs that are truly implemented in the field. This consistency is not just about reporting, but about our concrete efforts to create a positive impact on the environment and society,” he said.

This assessment is based on the 2021 Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, an international organization that provides sustainability reporting standards, and relevant regulations from the Financial Services Authority (OJK).

Regarding the environmental aspect, SMBR has reclaimed 46.88 hectares of post-mining land and developed Trigona honey cultivation, with production reaching 81,840 ml, which began in 2021. Strengthened environmental performance is also evident in the increased use of alternative energy, with the Thermal Substitution Rate (TSR) realization increasing to 3.18% in 2024 through the use of alternative fuels.

Carbon emission reduction performance has also strengthened. Carbon intensity was successfully reduced from 577 kg CO₂/ton of cement to 562 kg CO₂/ton of cement, in line with a reduction in the clinker factor to 67.17%.

JAKARTA – PT Semen Baturaja Tbk (SMBR), a subsidiary of PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG), once again achieved outstanding success at the Social Business Innovation and Green (SIGREEN) 2025 event organized by Warta Ekonomi. This year, Semen Baturaja was named Best Corporate in Responsible Business Practices for Strengthening Environmental Performance through Alternative Fuel Adoption and Local Empowerment in the Basic Industry and Chemicals category.

SIGREEN 2025 is a prestigious event that emphasizes the importance of social innovation and green commitments in the business world. More than just an award, SIGREEN 2025 is a momentum for cross-sector collaboration to strengthen competitiveness while ensuring the sustainability of the green economy in Indonesia.

The award was presented directly by Warta Ekonomi CEO Muhammad Ihsan to SMBR Operations Director Taufik at the awards ceremony held at the Batavia Tower, Jakarta, on Thursday (November 27th).

Taufik stated that this award further strengthens SMBR’s commitment to expanding the implementation of sustainability programs. “This award motivates us to continue to improve innovation, expand the use of alternative energy, and maintain a balance between industrial operations and environmental sustainability. Going forward, SMBR will continue to strengthen collaboration with various parties to ensure that all business processes are increasingly oriented towards sustainability,” he said.

This sustainability commitment is reflected in the increased use of Alternative Fuel & Raw Materials (AFR) in the production process. By the third quarter of 2025, SMBR had utilized 120,989 tons of AFR, an increase of approximately 22% compared to the same period the previous year, which reached 99,219 tons. This increase was driven by the optimization of biomass as a more environmentally friendly alternative energy source.

According to Taufik, the increased use of AFR is part of the company’s strategy to reduce emissions and improve energy efficiency. “We continue to increase the use of AFR as part of our commitment to delivering a cleaner production process.” “This effort will not only reduce emissions but also help the company achieve its sustainability targets in a more measurable manner,” he said.

As a follow-up, SMBR, along with the Ministry of Environment, is also discussing plans to utilize Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) in Ogan Komering Ulu (OKU) Regency. This initiative is still in the exploratory stage and is preparing a technical study with relevant stakeholders.

Taufik emphasized that SMBR sees significant potential in this plan. “RDF in OKU is still in the early stages of discussion. However, we view this as having strong potential to support the clean energy transition. If realized, RDF will be a crucial part of strengthening SMBR’s path towards more sustainable energy use,” he explained.

With this achievement, Semen Baturaja reaffirms its position as a company that consistently adheres to ESG principles and supports the SIG Group’s sustainability targets. (*)
