Jakarta, February 24, 2025 – PT Paiton Energy has received a Green rating for its consistent and sustainable environmental and social management in the 2024 Corporate Performance Rating Program (PROPER) from the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Indonesia.
The PROPER Award was presented at the PROPER Environmental Award Ceremony at Sasono Langen Budoyo, Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, Jakarta on Monday, February 24, 2025.
President Director of PT Paiton Energy, Fazil Erwin Alfitri said that Green PROPER is the result of synergy and good cooperation between Company and various parties, including local governments and communities.
