CLIMATE ACTION

The Indonesia PROPER programme (Program Penilaian Peringkat Kinerja Perusahaan dalam
Pengelolaan Lingkungan Hidup), was launched in 1995 with support from the World Bank and
the United States. It aims to encourage environmental transparency and responsible practices
across all industries by promoting public disclosure of companies’ environmental performance.
PROPER incentivises compliance with existing regulations and motivates businesses to go beyond
minimum requirements. This initiative, implemented by the Indonesia's Ministry of Environment
and Forestry, aligns with our principles of good governance by fostering transparency, fairness,
accountability and community involvement in environmental management. The programme
assesses companies such as Apical based on two key criteria:

Compliance with regulations Performance exceeding those requirements

We’re thrilled to share that the following refineries have achieved the prestigious PROPER Blue*
ranking in Indonesia’s PROPER programme:
• SDO (M) • AAJ Tj Balai • KRN
• PRC • AAJ Marunda • SDS
* Blue represents being in “Compliance”.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
Background To drive continuous improvement, Apical has conducted LCAs of our products.
This will help us determine emission hotspots across the product lifecycle. By gaining
a comprehensive understanding of our environmental footprint, we can implement
targeted reduction strategies and also empower customers to make informed choices
aligned with their sustainability values.
