Tanjung Enim, May 20, 2025 — PT Bukit Asam Tbk (PTBA), a member of VIND ID, commemorated National Awakening Day on May 20, 2025, by embracing the spirit of “Rising Together for a Stronger Indonesia.” Marking this historic moment, PTBA reaffirmed its commitment to contributing to the nation through reliable and sustainable energy, inclusive community empowerment programs, and the implementation of modern mining innovations.
President Director of PT Bukit Asam Tbk, Arsal Ismail, stated, “The spirit of National Awakening is a foundation that drives us to keep innovating and moving forward. At PTBA, we embody this spirit through our commitment to developing safer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly mining practices, including digitalization across various operations.”
In this year’s commemoration, PTBA is focused on key areas, especially in mining innovation. The company has adopted digital technology to monitor operations—from production sites to ports—through the in-house super app CISEA (Corporate Information System and Enterprise Application). This system allows real-time production monitoring, data analysis for planning optimization, and the use of drones and mapping technology for environmental surveys. These efforts not only boost productivity but also reduce risks and environmental impact.
As part of its role in supporting national energy resilience, PTBA continues to ensure a stable and high-quality coal supply. The company is also exploring opportunities in renewable energy development to support Indonesia’s energy transition.
On the community front, PTBA runs various empowerment programs focused on human resource development, local economic growth, healthcare improvements, and infrastructure development around its operational areas.
The company also maintains strong environmental commitments through progressive post-mining land reclamation, strict air and water quality management, and sustainable mining practices.
“By integrating digital technology into our operations, we are not only improving company performance but also creating a safer and more efficient work environment. This innovation reflects the spirit of National Awakening—adapting and embracing technological progress for the nation’s advancement,” said Arsal.
PTBA believes that the synergy between technological innovation, social responsibility, and environmental stewardship will drive sustainable growth and maximize contributions to Indonesia.
