JAKARTA - PT Multi Harapan Utama (MHU), a subsidiary of MMS Group Indonesia (MMSGI), received the Green Achievement in Emission Reduction and Ruby Achievement in Emission Transparency awards in The Best Corporate Transparency and Emission Reduction Awards 2026 held by Investortrust.id. on Thursday, April 30 afternoon at the Aryaduta Hotel, Jakarta.
This award is given to corporations that are able to reduce emissions in a tangible manner while building a transparent, verifiable, and accountable reporting system.
This recognition is born from measurable performance. Throughout 2024, the total emissions of Scope 1 and Scope 2 MHU were recorded at 275,065.53 tons of CO₂e - down 41.34 percent in just one year, equivalent to eliminating the carbon footprint of more than 130,000 passenger vehicles. More significantly, based on the 2021 baseline, MHU targets a 8 percent reduction in Scope 1 emissions by 2030.
In 2024, six years ahead of schedule, the target has been exceeded with a reduction of 40.8 percent. The eight-year target was achieved in only three years.
This achievement is driven by three main initiatives that run simultaneously. First, the HYDRUM program - the transformation of the dump truck fleet from diesel to hybrid technology - has succeeded in reducing the fuel ratio from 68 liters per hour to 36.70 liters per hour, recording an efficiency of 46 percent, surpassing the initial target of 30 percent.
In the first five months, the program saved 1.22 million liters of fuel and cost efficiency of Rp. 19.9 billion. Second, the overall operational energy efficiency - including the data-based idle time monitoring system (ITIMER) - managed to reduce emissions by 82,334 tons of CO₂e directly from the production line.
Third, post-mine land reclamation absorbs 273,419 tons of CO₂e - surpassing the total operational emission reduction and becoming the largest contribution in MHU's decarbonization portfolio. Overall, the combination of these three approaches results in a total contribution of emission reduction and carbon absorption of 355,753 tons of CO₂e in 2024 - confirming that mine operations and measurable climate change mitigation can go hand in hand.
In the future, MHU will strengthen the direction of long-term energy transition through a trial of the SANY 445 EV electric dump truck in the Loa Kulu operational area, Kutai Kartanegara. With a motor capacity of up to 460 kW and a 400 kWh battery, this unit is projected to be able to reduce operating costs by up to 40 percent compared to conventional diesel units.
In addition to emission reductions, MHU is also considered superior in reporting transparency. The company adopts the international standard ISO 14064-1, referring to the IPCC Guidelines, and routinely reports emissions through the PROPER KLHK program. The data-based monitoring system developed ensures that all emission data can be verified and independently accounted for - a practice that is still limited in the national mining industry.
MHU managed to cut emissions by 41.34 percent in 2024, with total emissions falling to 275,065 tCO₂e - supported by efficiency improvements in Scope 1 and Scope 2.
MHU President Director, Kemal Djamil Siregar, stated that this award reflects the consistency of data-based transformation carried out by the company.
"This award is proof that the transformation we are carrying out has a real impact. We are not only targeting emission reductions, but also ensuring that every step is measurable, transparent, and accountable. In the future, we will continue to accelerate the adoption of low-emission technologies and strengthen data-based systems. For us, sustainability is not just compliance, but a long-term business strategy," he said in a written statement, Monday, May 4.
This achievement is also in line with the strengthening of ESG performance at the group level. MMSGI recorded a score of 52/100 in the Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) 2025 by S&P Global for the Coal & Consumable Fuels sector. In the context of an industry facing global pressure to transform, MHU's achievement confirms that decarbonization is not only possible, but can also be measured, verified, and used as a competitive advantage.
