JAKARTA - PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG) won two awards at the "Corporate Emissions Transparency Award 2022" organized by Investor Magazine.

SIG won the Issuer and BUMN Sector Award in the Emission Reduction Transparency category with the Green Elite title and the Issuer and BUMN Sector Award in the Emissions Calculation Transparency Category with the Gold Plus title. The award was received by Fajar Aristyanto, GIS Production Management Department, virtually on Friday, April 22.

The Green Elite category award is given to companies that reveal their GHG emission reduction achievements and calculations and GHG calculations are included in the scope of independent third party assurance/verification. Meanwhile, the Gold Plus category is for companies that disclose the calculation of 2 emission scopes/scopes and GHG calculations are included in the scope of independent third party assurance/verification.

SIG's Corporate Secretary, Vita Mahreyni, said that in its operations, SIG has taken initiatives to reduce carbon emissions. In 2020, SIG has carried out several main work programs that are part of the SIG Sustainability Initiatives to support efforts to reduce carbon emissions. The main work programs in 2020 include reducing the clinker factor, increasing the use of alternative fuels (biomass and RDF) and energy efficiency (electricity and thermal).

According to him, in terms of using alternative fuels besides using biomass, SIG also utilizes municipal waste which has previously been processed into Refused Derived Fuel (RDF) as alternative energy to replace coal at the Narogong and Cilacap factories.

"Utilizing waste into alternative fuel is a solution for better environmental management for the community," said Vita Mahreyni.

"In addition, the company also utilizes exhaust heat from the combustion process as a power plant with Waste Heat Recovery Power Generation (WHRPG) technology at the Tuban and Indarung factories," he added.

From the efforts made, SIG succeeded in reducing specific CO2 emissions for scope 1 from 634 kg CO2/ton of cement equivalent in 2019 to 607 kg CO2/ton of cement equivalent in 2020. Meanwhile, for scopes 1 and 2, SIG succeeded in reducing specific CO2 emissions from 693 kg CO2/tonne cement equivalent in 2019 to 659 kg CO2/ton cement equivalent in 2020.

The 2022 Corporate Emissions Award is given to companies that transparently disclose emissions calculations that have been achieved in 2020. The calculation and emission reductions are obtained based on the data contained in the 2020 sustainability report, published in 2021 and available on the official website of each company. .
