Our commitment in biodiversity

Protecting biodiversity is closely related to sustainability commitments. We included initiatives and commitment related to biodiversity in PT Vale Indonesia's Environment, Health, Safety and Sustainability Policy and Sustainability Policy

Biodiversity includes in our five commitments to the environment along with a low carbon agenda, reducing the landfill burden, reducing the intensity of water consumption, and transboundary forestry.

Integrating Post-mining Reclamation, Rehabilitation, and Biodiversity Conservation

We conduct open-pit mining activities that have an impact on altering the natural landscape, thus affecting the ecosystem and biodiversity within it. The Company is committed to managing negative impacts by undertaking biodiversity conservation, progressive reclamation, and post-mining rehabilitation in accordance with applicable regulations and provisions. 

Flora & Fauna Conservation

Given its richness, scope, and value in sustaining life and ecosystems, PT Vale Indonesia Tbk considers biodiversity an integral part of our business. Learn more by reading the following documents:

We also committed to conserving protected and endangered species of fauna and flora. A joint study conducted with Hasanuddin University in 2020 identified 43 protected species listed on the IUCN Red List within the mining operation area of Sorowako Block. A list of protected species based on the IUCN red list can be found in appendix  of our sustainability report.

We also collaborated with the Indonesia Business Council for Sustainable Development (IBCSD) to compile the Guidelines for Sustainable Biodiversity Management. Released in 2018, it became the first document in Indonesia's mining sector focused on biodiversity conservation. The document is available for download on the IBCSD website.
