Probolinggo, December 12, 2025 – Efforts to preserve the natural environment were once again carried out by PT Paiton Energy (Paiton Energy) and PT Paiton Operation & Maintenance Indonesia (POMI) through the planting of 2,500 mangrove seedlings in the downstream estuary area of Pantai River, Dringu Village, Dringu District, Probolinggo Regency, East Java.
The mangrove planting activity, carried out through multi-stakeholder (Pentahelix) synergy, was held on Thursday (December 11). The activity was part of the PMI – Paiton Energy Green Movement, a CSR collaboration between Paiton Energy, the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) Central Board, and the Probolinggo Regency PMI.
The Green Movement aims to strengthen coastal area resilience, mitigate the impacts of climate change, support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and encourage active participation from communities and volunteers in environmental protection.
The mangrove planting was carried out through multi-stakeholder (Pentahelix) synergy. The activity was attended by approximately 70 participants from various sectors, including the Probolinggo Regency PMI, Dringu District Government, Environmental Agency, Agriculture Agency, Fisheries Agency, East Java Forestry Agency Branch in Lumajang, Dringu Village Government, the Community-Based Disaster Preparedness Team (SIBAT) of Dringu Village, Pokmaswa Dringu, as well as volunteers and local community members.
The downstream estuary area of Dringu Village is a coastal zone vulnerable to abrasion and ecosystem degradation due to the decline in mangrove cover. In fact, mangroves serve as natural barriers that protect coastlines from waves and erosion, provide habitats for various marine species, and act as carbon sinks.
Head of External Relations of PT Paiton Energy Bambang Jiwantoro stated that the PMI – Paiton Energy Green Movement represents the Company’s tangible action in implementing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, as well as an effort to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
“The Green Movement supports the achievement of SDG 13 (Climate Action) and SDG 14 (Life Below Water), as mangroves protect coastal biodiversity and support the sustainability of fishermen’s livelihoods,” said Bambang Jiwantoro.
According to Human Capital Facilities and Community Manager of PT POMI Rochman Hidayat, the Green Movement program also supports the government’s Asta Cita agenda to improve the welfare and economic conditions of rural communities. “Cross-sector collaboration like this serves as an important foundation for creating a more resilient coastal ecosystem and delivering long-term benefits to the community,” said Rochman.
Chairman of PMI Probolinggo Regency dr. Adi Nugroho WD stated that mangrove planting is part of PMI’s commitment to strengthening coastal resilience and ecosystem-based disaster mitigation. “Mangroves are essential for protecting coastlines from abrasion and improving ecosystem quality. PMI encourages the involvement of communities and volunteers to ensure that these rehabilitation efforts are sustainable,” said dr. Adi.
Meanwhile, Dringu Village Head Kuryadi said that the community welcomed the mangrove planting activity as it provides direct benefits for protecting coastal areas. “Mangroves serve as natural barriers that help reduce abrasion. The village government and fishermen groups are committed to maintaining the planted areas so that the mangroves can grow well,” said Kuryadi.
In addition to mangrove planting, the Green Movement also includes education and outreach on the benefits of mangroves, planting techniques, and the importance of maintenance to ensure a high success rate. This educational activity also involves younger generations as an initial step in building ecological awareness from an early age.
The PMI – Paiton Energy Green Movement is expected to become a collaborative model that can be replicated in other coastal areas. Village governments and community groups are committed to maintaining the planted areas so that the mangroves can grow optimally and provide both ecological and socio-economic benefits to surrounding communities.
In environmental management and community empowerment (ESG), Paiton Energy–POMI, through Paiton bErsiNERGY, applies the Pentahelix concept, namely synergy and collaboration involving five key components: government, communities, academia, businesses, and the media. These five elements are consistently engaged in every ESG program implemented by Paiton Energy.
PT Paiton Energy – POMI has implemented its CSR program since 2000. The program is designed on an annual basis and monitored by the Community Development Committee. The programs are divided into three focus areas: supporting the sustainability of companies (power plant), socio-economic sustainability, and energy and environmental sustainability.
PT Paiton Energy is the first and one of the largest Independent Power Producer (IPP) operating in Indonesia. The shareholders of the Company consist of RATCH Group, Nebras Power, and Medco Daya Energi Sentosa (MDES).
