Dear respected stakeholders,

Today's evolving global dynamics place greater importance on environmental and social aspects to mitigate risks and support sustainable economic performance in the future. Throughout 2022, we recorded positive achievements in environmental, social, governance and economic management performance. We have set a Road Map Towards Carbon Neutral 2050, to realize our commitment to reduce absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions scope 1 and 2 by 33% by 2030 and towards net zero emissions by 2050.

We would like to thank all stakeholders for the support given to PT Vale in implementing sustainability practices.

Determining Material Topics

There were no changes in the material topics from the previous reporting period. The material topics were determined using a sample survey form and through a discussion involving internal and external stakeholders. The discussion was facilitated by an independent party acting as an expert team.

The results of the discussion selected ten material topics according to the sustainability context and aligned with support for achieving SDGs.

Low Carbon Agenda

We operated the Sorowako nickel plant with a carbon intensity of 29.50 Ton CO2 eq/Ton Ni, the lowest in Indonesia.

In accordance with our carbon neutral roadmap, we have undertaken several initiatives, including smart energy monitoring, optimization studies for the Larona hydropower plant, electric heavy vehicle trials, and boiler heating up package improvements.

We also made achievements in energy efficiency. Among them is the use of B30 biodiesel biofuel (BBN) which managed to reduce 30% of fossil fuel use.

For our energy efficiency achievements, in 2022, we received ISO 50001 Energy Management System issued by TÜV Rheinland.

Green PROPER is given to companies that have carried out environmental management beyond compliance, including the implementation of waste reuse-reduce-recycle (3R), the application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), reducing water pollution burden, and community empowerment.

Reduction of Waste to Landfill

In 2022, we continued our policy of reducing landfill load by referring to the policy on PROPER.

Waste management was carried out through efforts to reduce, reuse, recycle, and recover (4R).

During the reporting period, no hazardous waste was shipped internationally and there were no spills of environmentally hazardous waste materials.

Our commitment to land reclamation and rehabilitation are supported with financial allocations as part of the environmental cost component in the Company's Financial Statements. Realized environmental management costs in 2022 amounted to USD 20,142,498 for Sorowako and Pomalaa areas.

In addition to rehabilitating watersheds outside the concession area of 10,000 hectares, we were also trusted by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry to rehabilitate 435 hectares of watersheds in six sub-districts in West Java Province. Until 2022, we have handed over 140 hectares of critical land in rehabilitated watersheds to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry.
