Social Impact Assessment (SIA)

We conducted a SIA for PRC in Padang and KRN in Balikpapan starting in July 2023. We engaged
with two distinct external professional assessors for the assessment, partnering with Ecotrop for PRC
and Remark Asia for KRN.
The SIA was carried out in a participatory manner, involving local community representatives to
identify the impacts of our company’s operations. This involvement, through consultation activities,
is grounded in the principles of transparency and encourages community representatives to identify
their own priorities and needs. The assessment results will provide insights into how we can manage
the risks and opportunities of our activities concerning the surrounding communities.
