JAKARTA - Weda Bay Nickel stated that it had obtained ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications, two major international standards for environmental management systems as well as occupational health and safety. This certification was issued after the company completed the independent audit process by an international certification body in accordance with global standard provisions.
The acquisition of this certification demonstrates Weda Bay Nickel's commitment to strengthening the compliance framework, responsible and sustainable operational practices, and is part of the company's sustainable journey in the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) roadmap, which is increasingly becoming the main focus in the nickel mining industry.
ISO 14001 assesses the effectiveness of environmental management systems in operational activities, including risk identification, impact control, and continuous improvement mechanisms. Meanwhile, ISO 45001 recognizes high standards in occupational health and safety management to minimize accidents and health problems in the workplace.
To meet the requirements of both standards, Weda Bay Nickel underwent a comprehensive audit and certification process conducted by a reputable international certification body, including a review of documentation and verification of implementation in the field. The certified management system applies to all operational activities and personnel in all of the company's mining operations in North Maluku.
Iwan Kurniawan, Head of Mine Engineering at PT Weda Bay Nickel, emphasized that ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications strengthen the company's operational standards while increasing competitiveness in the global market.
"ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certification reflect our structured approach to ensuring safe operations as well as continuous improvement in environmental performance and occupational safety. These standards are an important element in maintaining operational reliability and meeting the expectations of global stakeholders," he said in a written statement, Friday, April 10.
Amid increasing demands for transparency and ESG compliance in the supply chain of the battery and electric vehicle industries, international standard certifications such as ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 are one of the main references in supplier evaluations by global customers. These requirements aim to ensure that raw materials are produced in accordance with internationally recognized environmental and occupational safety standards.
Weda Bay Nickel assessed that the acquisition of this certification strengthens the company's credibility in meeting international customer requirements while supporting the implementation of long-term ESG strategies.
The company ensures that the certified environmental and occupational safety management systems will continue to be evaluated through periodic reviews, internal audits, and continuous improvement, in line with the dynamics of global industry regulations and standards.
