45 Years of PTBA's Dedication to Building the Nation
Tanjung Enim, March 2, 2026 – PT Bukit Asam (Persero) Tbk (PTBA) commemorated its 45th Anniversary by carrying the theme “Nawa Urga, Nawa Yatra: Energy Transformation, National Synergy.”
The theme is more than just words; it represents the Company’s identity and commitment to entering its next phase with a stronger spirit of transformation, innovation, and collaboration.
Over 45 years of its journey, PTBA has grown into one of the key pillars in supporting the national energy supply. However, the Company recognizes that business sustainability must go hand in hand with tangible contributions to communities and the environment, particularly in its primary operational areas such as Tanjung Enim and its surrounding regions.
As part of this commitment, PTBA continues to intensify various Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) programs. In the environmental sector, the Company consistently implements reforestation initiatives through tree planting in post-mining reclamation areas, public facilities, and residential neighborhoods. These efforts form part of its transformation toward increasingly sustainable and environmentally responsible mining practices.
In the healthcare sector, PTBA organizes blood donation drives involving employees, business partners, and local communities. These activities symbolize the Company’s solidarity and social concern in supporting healthcare services within its operational areas.
Meanwhile, to promote community economic self-reliance, the Company has introduced the EcoGrow Mom Fostered Program, which empowers housewives to develop environmentally based and creative economy businesses. Through training, mentoring, and marketing support, the program helps enhance business capacity while strengthening household economies in communities surrounding the Company’s operations.
President Director of PTBA, Arsal Ismail, stated that the 45th anniversary marks an important milestone in reaffirming the Company’s transformation direction.
“The theme ‘Nawa Urga, Nawa Yatra: Energy Transformation, National Synergy’ is not merely a slogan, but a reflection of our determination to enter a new phase with a spirit of measurable and sustainable change. The energy transformation we are undertaking must deliver tangible impact, not only for the Company but also for communities and the environment. Synergy with all stakeholders is key to ensuring that every step we take brings broader benefits,” he said.
Entering this new chapter, PTBA is committed to further strengthening innovation, enhancing good corporate governance, and expanding its positive impact on society.
“With the spirit of transformation and synergy, PTBA remains optimistic about continuing to grow alongside the nation, providing energy, and creating sustainable added value for Indonesia,” Arsal concluded.
