MDLA Wins Award For Implementation Of Environmentally Friendly Fleet For Sustainable Distribution
JAKARTA - PT Medela Potentia Tbk (MDLA) won the IDX Channel Anugerah ESG 2025 for the Main Category of the Health Sector on its commitment and implementation of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles in operational activities.
This award was handed over directly by the CEO of IDX Channel, Mr. Syafril Nasution to the Human Resources & Sustainability Director of PT Medela Potentia Tbk, Nancy Kartika in the award ceremony which took place at Main Hall of the Indonesia Stock Exchange Building, Jakarta, Friday, July 4, 2025.
The ESG Award is an acknowledgment of PT Medela Potentia Tbk's real commitment through its subsidiary PT Anugrah Argon Medica (AAM) in implementing ESG principles through the initiation of the use of electric vehicles for more environmentally friendly distribution.
As one of the pioneers using the electric motor fleet for the distribution of health products, until mid-2025 the company has operated 106 units of electric vehicles spread across 15 operational branches in 13 major cities in Indonesia. This step is part of the decarbonization roadmap and energy efficiency in the distribution sector, as well as a tangible form of commitment to operational sustainability principles.
This initiative is part of the company's decarbonization strategy as well as efforts to create efficient and environmentally friendly distribution of pharmaceutical products and medical devices. The use of electric motors has a direct impact on reducing carbon emissions from logistics activities and fuel consumption.
Throughout 2024, PT Medela Potentia Tbk recorded a 5 percent reduction in carbon emissions, accompanied by a decrease in consumption of fuel oil (BBM) for operational vehicles by up to 30 percent on an annual basis (year-on-year).
Through our ESG initiative, we want to be health industry players who are not only superior in service, but also make a positive contribution to the environment and society. The electric fleet is a concrete form of our commitment to the environment. But ESG for us is much wider covering social responsibility, strengthening governance, and building an adaptive business to long-term challenges," said Nancy Kartika, Tuesday, July 8.
The IDX Channel Anugerah ESG 2025 carries the theme Navigating ESG in Global Economy Uncertainty, aimed at dedicated companies in the implementation of sustainable business in Indonesia. The assessment of this award is based on four main aspects, namely environmental, social (social), governance, and innovation in sustainable finance (novation in sustainable finance).
IDX Channel Anugerah ESG 2025 is an appreciation given to companies that have implemented the ESG program. It is hoped that this can stimulate and encourage other companies to do the same," said Syafril Nasution.
PT Medela Potentia Tbk (MDLA) places the sustainability aspect as an important part of its business strategy. President Director of PT Medela Potentia Tbk, Mr. Krestijanto Pandji, emphasized that the company is developing a comprehensive ESG approach by combining internal systems, increasing HR capacity, and integration of policies into operations.
The operational vehicle electrification program at PT Anugrah Argon Medica (AAM) is one of the concrete steps. MDLA targets the conversion of 50 percent of vehicles to electricity and logistics efficiency by 10 percent in the medium term, and achieves net-zero emissions for Scope 1 & 2 by 2050. This target is supported by ESG training, employee incentives, and collaboration with research institutions.
PT Medela Potentia Tbk seeks to make ESG a collective movement. Local communities are involved through training as electric motor drivers, and partnerships with local workshops and dealers to strengthen environmentally friendly vehicle infrastructure. This program not only creates local economic impacts, but also encourages the growing public awareness of the importance of adopting the principle of sustainability in everyday life.
The company provides environmentally friendly delivery Eco Delivery services directly to reach consumers. PT Medela Potentia Tbk also collaborated with energy consultants to conduct an independent audit of carbon emissions in the company's operational activities.
"This collaborative approach not only expands the impact of the program, but also builds public trust and stakeholders as strategic partners in encouraging the adoption of clean technology and creating a sustainable ESG ecosystem," said Krestijanto Pandji.
