PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk or Harita Nickel has officially inaugurated the revitalized Loji Central Nursery, reaffirming its commitment to environmental sustainability. This nursery facility plays a crucial role in supporting post-mining land reclamation by providing high-quality plant seedlings.
The inauguration ceremony, held on January 30, 2025, was attended by Harita Nickel’s Director of Operations, Younsel Evand Roos, Director of Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE), Tonny Gultom, as well as senior management representatives from various business units within the company.

The revitalization of Loji Central Nursery is a strategic initiative aimed at addressing the increasing demand for revegetation seedlings while enhancing operational efficiency through a more modern and integrated facility. Spanning 2.8 hectares, the nursery has significantly expanded its production capacity to 400,000 seedlings, a substantial increase from its previous capacity of 160,000 seedlings on 1.8 hectares.

<figure><img alt="09012025 tbp loji central nursery 2 11zon" src="https://apiharitanikel.dipstrategy.co.id/storage/images/old/news_assets/09012025_TBP_Loji Central Nursery_2_11zon.jpg"> </figure>
“As mining operations continue to develop on Obi Island, we remain steadfast in our commitment to prioritizing environmental conservation. The establishment of this enhanced nursery facility, equipped with comprehensive and advanced infrastructure, is a tangible demonstration of our dedication to sustainable practices,” stated Younsel Evand Roos.

He further explained that Harita Nickel has operated a nursery since 2009. However, with the expansion of mining activities and an increase in reclamation targets, from an initial 6 hectares to 60 hectares per year, the need for a modern facility became imperative.

The nursery will supply a variety of seedlings tailored to revegetation needs, including species such as Casuarina (Cemara Laut), Senna siamea (Johar), Albizia (Sengon), Anthocephalus macrophyllus (Jabon Merah), Pometia pinnata (Matoa), Canarium (Kenari), Jackfruit (Nangka), Rambutan, Cashew (Jambu Mete), and Calophyllum (Bintangur).

Tonny Gultom, Director of HSE at Harita Nickel, added that the diverse plant selection at Loji Central Nursery is not only designed to fulfill regulatory requirements but also serves broader ecological benefits.

“By incorporating a wider variety of plant species, particularly fruit-bearing trees, we aim to attract frugivorous wildlife and enhance the ecological balance of the reclaimed ecosystem," he stated. This diversity aligns with regulatory guidelines, which permit up to 10% of revegetation plantings to consist of fruit-bearing species.

<figure><img alt="Whatsapp image 2025 02 09 at 15.36.18" src="https://apiharitanikel.dipstrategy.co.id/storage/images/old/images/WhatsApp Image 2025-02-09 at 15.36.18.jpeg"> </figure>
This biodiversity initiative is further strengthened by a structured seedling cultivation process to ensure high-quality seedlings for reclamation efforts. Tonny emphasized that each seedling undergoes rigorous selection and care at Loji Central Nursery before being planted in reclamation areas.

Harita Nickel continues to reinforce its commitment to sustainable mining practices through the inauguration of Loji Central Nursery. This modern facility not only supports revegetation and post-mining land rehabilitation programs but also empowers local communities by involving them in the supply of native seedlings, fertilizers, and land maintenance labor in accordance with established standards.

“The company actively engages local communities in the supply of native seedlings, aligning with regulatory requirements that mandate at least 40% of plants used in reclamation efforts be sourced from local species,” Tonny added.

As part of its commitment to environmentally sustainable innovation, the development of this nursery utilized 24,000 paving blocks, 146,000 concrete bricks, and 441 m³ of nickel slag-based concrete. This approach supports the company’s efforts to mitigate the environmental impact of its ferronickel processing operations.

The revitalization of this nursery facility also ensures compliance with regulatory requirements, including Presidential Regulation No. 77 of 2024 on accelerating nursery development in mining areas and Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Decree No. 1827 K/30/MEM/2018 on good mining practices.

Through this initiative, Harita Nickel reaffirms its role as a responsible nickel mining and processing company, committed to ecosystem sustainability and the well-being of local communities.

Nickel is a commodity that is currently a hot topic for industries around the world. With its combination of strength and malleability, it can be combined relatively easily with other metals – such as steel, to become stainless steel – while its capacity to store large amounts of energy also makes it an essential raw material in the production of batteries. And yet, despite its ubiquity, utility, and its importance to global markets, the world’s largest producers of nickel remain something of a mystery.
In this article, we reveal the five largest nickel-producing countries in the world today, according to data from the <a href="https://pubs.usgs.gov/periodicals/mcs2024/mcs2024.pdf">United States Geological Survey in 2023</a>.

<h2>1. Indonesia
</h2>
Few people are aware that Indonesia is the largest nickel-producing country in the world. In 2023 alone, Indonesia produced 1.8 million metric tons of nickel, or around 50 percent of the world's nickel supply. Indonesia’s nickel reserves are mostly found in eastern areas of the archipelago, such as South and Southeast Sulawesi, Morowali, and North Maluku.

Initially, Indonesia only produced nickel ore for export. However, nickel mining companies in Indonesia are now beginning to develop more advanced nickel processing facilities. One of the companies leading the way in this field is Harita Nickel.

Harita Nickel is the first company in Indonesia to successfully implement High-Pressure Acid Leaching (HPAL) technology and produce Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate (MHP), nickel sulfate, and cobalt sulfate. Currently, Harita Nickel has no fewer than six HPAL production lines, with a total capacity of 120,000 tons of nickel per year; three of these production lines are operated by PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (HPL), while three more are run by PT Obi Nickel Cobalt (ONC).

At present, Harita Nickel also has three nickel processing lines which use the HPAL method and are capable of producing 55,000 tons of nickel content in the form of MHP annually (MHP is the raw material used to make the cathodes in electric vehicle batteries).

In addition, Harita Nickel also has 12 nickel processing lines that use the Rotary Kiln Electric Furnace (RKEF) method, with the capacity to produce 120,000 tons of nickel content per year in the form of ferronickel.

<h2>2. Philippines
</h2>
The world’s second-largest nickel-producing country is the Philippines – Indonesia’s neighbor produced 400,000 metric tons of nickel in 2023. <a href="https://www.mining-technology.com/data-insights/nickel-in-the-philippines/?cf-view">Nickel in the Philippines</a> is mostly found in Palawan Province, Surigao del Norte Province, Surigao del Sur Province, and the Dinagat Islands.

In 2022, the Philippines exported raw nickel worth an estimated USD 1.29 billion where the majority of this raw nickel was <a href="https://oec.world/en/profile/bilateral-product/nickel-ore/reporter/phl">exported</a> to South Korea, Japan, and China.

The Philippines currently plans to follow in Indonesia's footsteps, by boosting its nickel down streaming capabilities. In 2024, the Philippines announced plans to add three more nickel processing facilities, which would bring the total number up to five.

<h2>3. New Caledonia
</h2>
Who would have thought that a remote island nation in the Pacific Ocean, New Caledonia, is one of the largest nickel-producing countries in the world? And yet, in 2023, New Caledonia successfully produced 230,000 metric tons of nickel, representing an increase from the previous year of around 200,000 metric tons.

Nickel mining in New Caledonia began in the 19th century, when the region was still a French colony. Then, in 1971, New Caledonia became the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel_mining_in_New_Caledonia">second-largest nickel producer in the world</a> at that time, partly due to demand associated with the Vietnam War.

<h2>4. Russia
</h2>
In 2023, Russia produced 200,000 metric tons of nickel, although this figure was lower than the previous year (222,000 metric tons). Nevertheless, Russia can still claim to be one of the world’s largest nickel producers.

Russia has long been recognized <a href="https://www.mysteel.net/market-insights/5052439-lme-abandoning-russia-nickel-a-potential-boost-for-domestic-nickel-brands">as one of the most prolific global producers</a> of processed nickel. In 2023, Russia supplied 154,300 tons of nickel that traded on the London Metal Exchange (LME), thereby becoming the second-largest supplier in the world at that time, second only to China.

<h2>5. Canada
</h2>
Canada is currently the world's fifth-biggest nickel producer. In 2023, Canada produced 180,000 metric tons of nickel. Ontario is the largest nickel producing province in Canada, followed by Quebec, New Foundland, and Labrador.

Canada has three nickel refining facilities, which are located in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta; Sudbury, Ontario; and Long Harbor, in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Currently, Canada is developing a <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/canada-nickel-plans-raise-1-billion-nickel-processing-plant-2024-02-08/">nickel sulfate and cobalt production facility in Ontario</a>, along with a lithium-ion battery recycling facility.

The United States is the main market for Canadian nickel. In 2022, as much as 40 percent of <a href="https://natural-resources.canada.ca/our-natural-resources/minerals-mining/mining-data-statistics-and-analysis/minerals-metals-facts/nickel-facts/20519">Canada's nickel exports</a> were sent to Uncle Sam, while around 12 percent of the rest went to China.

 The Five Largest Nickel-producing Countries in the World

From electric vehicle batteries to stainless steel, nickel is a metal with <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/media/kabar-obi/highlight/ini-dia-kegunaan-dan-manfaat-nikel-dalam-kehidupan-sehari-hari" target="_blank">important applications</a> in a variety of modern technologies. In Indonesia, Harita Nickel plays a key role in maximizing added value through a range of <a href="https://tbpnickel.com/sustainability/about-sustainability" target="_blank">sustainable</a>&nbsp;nickel processing methods.
In this article, we will discuss the two main nickel processing methods utilized by Harita Nickel, namely Rotary Kiln Electric Furnace (RKEF) and High-Pressure Acid Leaching (HPAL).

<h2>1. Rotary Kiln Electric Furnace (RKEF)
</h2>
<img alt="2 eng rkef" src="https://apiharitanikel.dipstrategy.co.id/storage/images/old/images/2_ Eng_ RKEF.jpg" style="width: 635px; height: 305px; display: block; margin: auto;" width="635" height="305" title="2 eng rkef"><figcaption class="text-center">Saprolite ore processing using Rotary Kiln Electric Furnace technology</figcaption> RKEF is a method that is often used to process high-grade nickel ore (saprolite nickel ore). It works by using intense heat to convert nickel ore into ferronickel, which can then be used in the manufacture of stainless steel.

The RKEF nickel processing process comprises several stages:

a. Separation of Nickel Ore First, pieces of nickel ore larger than 2 cm are isolated.
b. Drying Next, the nickel ore is dried using a rotary dryer at temperatures of 200-300 degrees Celsius. This process reduces the water content from around 40 to 20 percent.
c. Calcination After that, the nickel ore is heated again, this time in a rotary kiln, to temperatures of 700-750 degrees Celsius, in order to remove any unnecessary elements.
d. Smelting The heated ore is then melted in an electric furnace at a temperature of 1,600 degrees Celsius, in order to remove impurities from the ferronickel.
e. Molding Finally, the molten ferronickel is molded into ingots and is ready to be transported for use in the steel industry.
Currently, Harita Nickel has 12 RKEF production lines, with a total capacity of up to 120,000 tons of nickel per year.

<h2>2. High-Pressure Acid Leaching (HPAL)
</h2>
<img alt="4 eng hpal" src="https://apiharitanikel.dipstrategy.co.id/storage/images/old/images/4_ Eng_ HPAL.jpg" style="width: 704px; height: 338px; display: block; margin: auto;" width="704" height="338" title="4 eng hpal"><figcaption class="text-center">Limonite ore processing using High Pressure Acid Leaching technology</figcaption> HPAL is a more complicated method and is normally used to process low-grade nickel ore, or limonite, which was previously considered to have no economic value and was therefore discarded as overburden. HPAL technology uses concentrated sulfuric acid, along with high temperatures and pressures, to extract nickel from its ore.

Below are the stages of the HPAL process:

a. Ore Washing Limonite nickel ore is washed and separated from rocks and impurities to make slurr
b. Thickening Process This slurry is then thickened until its solid content reaches 45 percent.
c. Leaching Next, the slurry is piped into a pressure vessel, commonly called an Autoclave, as part of the extraction process. In this Autoclave, the slurry undergoes special treatment by mixing concentrated sulfuric acid, which is heated to temperatures of up to 250 degrees Celsius, and subjected to high pressures (50 bar) that are equivalent to pressures found on the seafloor at a depth of 500 meters. After that, all the materials are stirred by the agitator machine in the Autoclave, allowing nickel to dissolve in the acid and the other materials to settle at the bottom.
d. Separation The liquid containing nickel is then separated from the slurry residue in seven counter current decantation (CCD) tanks.
e. Purification After that, the Aluminum–Iron separation process (also referred to as the FeAl removal process) is carried out, before the nickel liquid is further processed to produce a mixture of nickel and cobalt known as Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate (MHP). MHP can be further refined at PT HPAL's new facility, the Nickel Sulfate and Cobalt Sulfate Plant, to produce nickel sulfate and cobalt sulfate that can be used for various technologies and products, including the raw materials for the manufacture of electric vehicle batteries.&nbsp;
<h2>Harita Nickel</h2>
Harita Nickel is the first company in Indonesia to successfully operate HPAL technology and produce MHP, nickel sulfate, and cobalt sulfate. Currently, Harita Nickel has six HPAL production lines with a combined capacity of 120,000 tons of nickel per year, operated by PT Halmahera Persada Lygend (PT HPL) and PT Obi Nickel Cobalt (PT ONC), each of which is responsible for three production lines.

Let’s Explore: Nickel Processing at Harita Nickel

As the morning air remains crisp, the kitchen at Debby Sukaran’s residence is already alive with activity. At five in the morning, the clatter of pots and the rhythmic chopping of vegetables fill the dimly lit space. An experienced cook measures rice into a large pot, while two younger assistants expertly chop carrots, green beans, and cabbage. Each movement is precise and efficient, a routine they have mastered over time.
Debby and her team are preparing free lunches for students at Loji Permai Middle School and Tunas Muda High School in Kawasi. Since October 2023, she has been entrusted as a catering vendor for a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative by Harita Nickel aimed at ensuring students receive proper nutrition so they can focus on their studies without worrying about their midday meals.
<img alt="14012025 hn pemberian makan siang gratis smp sma kawasi 020 11zon" src="https://apiharitanikel.dipstrategy.co.id/storage/images/old/images/14012025_HN_Pemberian Makan Siang Gratis SMP - SMA Kawasi_020_11zon.jpg"> 
Every day, Debby’s small kitchen provides meals for 229 students and 25 teaching staff. The nutritious menu includes protein from fish or chicken, fresh vegetables, and fruit.	

“At first, I was unsure if I could handle such a large order every day,” Debby admitted while checking a freshly cooked batch of rice.“But over time, we became accustomed to the routine. Now, there is a great sense of satisfaction in seeing the students enjoy the meals we prepare.”

As the clock approaches eight in the morning, the meals are packaged with care. The rice is molded into uniform portions, side dishes are neatly packed, and each lunch box is checked before being loaded into the delivery vehicle.

<h2>Lunch Before Home
</h2><img alt="12162024 c1 pembagian makan gratis sekolah kawasi baru 150" src="https://apiharitanikel.dipstrategy.co.id/storage/images/old/images/12162024_C1_Pembagian Makan Gratis Sekolah Kawasi Baru_150.JPG">
At the meal distribution table, neatly stacked boxes await the students. Syifa Nurjannah, one of the students, eagerly unpacks her lunch.

One by one, students collected their meals and returned to their seats. Among them, Syifa Nurjannah quickly unpacked her lunch. “After a long day of studying, it’s great to finally share a meal with friends,” she said with a smile. “There’s something special about eating together. It brings us closer and allows us to connect while enjoying our food.”

Around her, her classmates also began to enjoy their meals. Some engaged in light conversation, while others quietly savored each bite.

In another part of the room, Servin Langkodi, Biology teacher and principal of Loji Permai Middle School, observed his students gathered in groups, enjoying their lunch. “This free lunch program has been invaluable for the students. After a full day of learning, they can eat together without the worry of hunger or having to find food elsewhere. It’s not just about providing food, but about fostering a sense of community among them,” he stated.

From the company’s perspective, Ifan Farianda, Community Development Manager at Harita Nickel, emphasized that this program is a key part of the company’s commitment to supporting the well-being of students in Kawasi.

“We want to ensure that children in Kawasi can study comfortably without worrying about their lunch. Through this program, they leave school with full stomachs and still have the energy to continue their activities at home,” he stated.

“We are committed to implementing social programs that align with the needs of the local community. We also continuously assess these programs to ensure they are operating effectively,” he added.

As the school day came to a close, the grounds began to clear as students finished their meals and began heading home. Some continued to chat while taking their empty boxes to the trash bins. While the school day had ended, for these students, the new routine they most looked forward to was sharing lunch together.

From Kitchen to Classroom: Free Lunch Program for Kawasi Students

Occupational Health and Safety (K3) is not just the responsibility of management or the Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) Team at Harita Nickel. It is a shared commitment&mdash;a culture that must involve every individual within the organization. Beyond statistics and regulations, Harita Nickel aims to convey a key message: K3 is our collective responsibility.
A safe and healthy work culture can only be achieved when every employee actively participates in implementing programs, standards, and work guidelines. This message aligns with the theme of Bulan K3 Nasional 2025, which focuses on Strengthening Human Resource Capacity to Support the Implementation of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (SMK3) for Increased Productivity.

In 2025, Harita Nickel is adopting a more in-depth and strategic approach to building a K3 culture. The focus goes beyond merely meeting compliance standards; instead, it aims to elevate safety practices beyond compliance and toward greater sustainability. By aligning business processes, enhancing internal literacy on K3, and ensuring field practices adhere to the highest standards, the company seeks to foster active participation from every individual in creating a safer work environment.

One of the key K3 cultural initiatives being introduced is the identification of 13 major hazards, summarized in the Critical Safety Compliance Protocol. This protocol is designed to map out the primary risks present at the Obi Site and ensure that every employee understands effective mitigation strategies.

Additionally, Harita Nickel is developing various new initiatives, including mental health programs and standardized K3 technical designs that are easier for all employees to understand.

To ensure the effective implementation of the K3 culture, Harita Nickel has launched the Safety Accountability Program, which measures employees' active participation in K3 practices. This program establishes specific responsibilities, especially for supervisors and higher-level personnel, such as conducting regular inspections, attending K3 meetings, and reporting potential hazards.
K3 should not be seen merely as a set of rules to follow but as a core value that reflects a shared responsibility for Satu Harita, Saling Menjaga. Proper and effective K3 implementation is not just an end goal&mdash;it is an ongoing journey to cultivate a work culture rooted in awareness, care, and active engagement. Harita Nickel remains committed to aligning this K3 vision, ensuring that every individual plays a crucial role in creating a safe, healthy, and productive workplace.*Written by Supriyanto, OHS & Management System Manager Harita Nickel

Building a Safety Culture: A Collective Responsibility of All Harita Personnel

At nine in the morning, as the sun rose higher, residents of Kelo Village gathered in front of the village health post (Polindes) on Saturday, January 18, 2025. A blue tent provided much-needed shade, while rows of plastic chairs quickly filled with elderly residents engaging in conversation and younger participants assisting their family members or waiting for their turn. Each individual patiently waited for their name to be called to receive medical services.
On the other side, medical personnel from Harita Nickel, Obi Hospital, and Sum Community Health Center (Puskesmas) prepared their equipment. Medicine boxes were neatly arranged on tables, medical instruments were set up, and occasional conversations among healthcare workers ensured everything ran smoothly. Meanwhile, the registration queue continued to grow as more villagers arrived.

Kelo Village, located in North Obi District, was one of the areas benefiting from the free healthcare services provided by the company through the Dokter Harita Share program. This initiative is part of the National Health Day series, which previously covered Laiwui Village and Tabuji Hamlet on December 21, 2024.<img alt="18012025 hn pengobatan gratis di desa kelo 0 106 11zon" src="https://apiharitanikel.dipstrategy.co.id/storage/images/old/images/18012025_HN_Pengobatan Gratis di Desa Kelo_0_106_11zon.jpg"> 
After completing registration, residents underwent initial health screenings. Medical personnel promptly checked blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and listened to individual health concerns. Several elderly patients were seen consulting with doctors, inquiring about their regular medications. Many expressed relief after receiving direct explanations about their health conditions.

“Usually, we can only visit the midwife at the village health post, and sometimes certain medicines are unavailable. Today, we had the chance to consult with doctors and receive more comprehensive examinations and treatment,” said Misna Kaimudin, a local Kelo Village resident who had just completed her check-up.

In addition to medical check-ups, Harita Nickel also donated medicines and medical supplies to the Kelo Village’s health post. The donation, received by the village midwife, was witnessed by local officials, including the East Obi Subdistrict Head, Kelo Village Head, and the Head of Sum Community Health Center.&nbsp;<img alt="18012025 hn pengobatan gratis di desa kelo 0 4 11zon" src="https://apiharitanikel.dipstrategy.co.id/storage/images/old/images/18012025_HN_Pengobatan Gratis di Desa Kelo_0_4_11zon.jpg"> 
Muhammad Jaya Ladam, the Head of East Obi Subdistrict, expressed his appreciation for the program and hopes to see its expansion to more villages. “This is the second time free medical services have been provided in Kelo Village. We hope this program continues and reaches more communities in need,” he said.

Irmawati Suaib, Head of Kelo Village, expressed her gratitude to Harita Nickel for its commitment to community health. “We deeply appreciate Harita Nickel’s care and support for our residents. Many face challenges in accessing and affording healthcare, and this program provides a real solution for them,” she said.

Company doctor Roykedona Lisanoted that the most frequent complaints among residents were upper abdominal pain due to irregular eating habits. “Many patients are too busy working and forget to eat, leading to acid reflux,” she explained.

Hypertension was another prevalent issue identified. “Some patients have been diagnosed with the high blood pressure but are not disciplined in taking their medication. This can be dangerous if left unmanaged,” she added.

The Dokter Harita Share program is part of Harita Nickel’s ongoing commitment to improving healthcare access for local communities. In Kelo Village, this initiative has benefited 59 patients of all ages, from children to the elderly.&nbsp;

As this program continues, Harita Nickel encourages all stakeholders to collaborate to strengthen healthcare initiatives and contribute to a healthier community.

Harita Nickel Provides Free Medical Check-ups in Kelo Village

In the midst of the bustling activities at Harita Nickel’s Obi site, the drive to create a safe work environment remains the top priority. Every step taken by the Harita workforce, from the smelting area to the mining site, reflects a collective effort to ensure health and safety. National Occupational Health and Safety Month (Bulan Kesehatan dan Keselamatan Kerja Nasional or Bulan K3 Nasional) 2025 stands as a pivotal moment to strengthen this commitment, with the theme "Enhancing Human Resource Capacity to Support the Implementation of the K3 Management System (SMK3) to Boost Productivity."
"Without competent human resources, no matter how excellent the system, achieving its goals will be difficult," said Primus Priyanto, Chief of Mine Technical at PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk. He emphasized that the synergy between technology, procedures, and human competence is critical to the success of SMK3. The spirit of Satu Harita, Saling Menjaga lies at the core of Harita Nickel’s approach, where safety is a shared responsibility that involves every employee.

Primus explained that the strategic path to excellence in K3 competence begins with fundamental training, such as First Aid and Job Safety Analysis (JSA). However, he emphasized that understanding alone is not enough&mdash;every work process must be supported by practical implementation. "It’s about building habits that are rooted in safety," he added.

Beyond training, active employee involvement in developing documents and business processes is essential. By directly understanding potential hazards and risk controls, employees become better equipped to handle the challenges of high-risk jobs.

"The mentoring and coaching approach from supervisors provides employees with the opportunity to learn, feel supported, and grow," Primus explained. He also highlighted job rotation as a key strategy to broaden understanding of risk control across various activities.

At the heart of Harita Nickel’s safety initiatives is a culture of mutual care. "Safety is not just an individual task; it is a shared responsibility. By caring for and reminding one another, we create a safer working environment," said Primus optimistically.&nbsp;

For him, this commitment goes beyond accident statistics. It’s about preserving human dignity and life.

He reminded everyone that the momentum of Bulan K3 Nasional 2025 should mark the beginning of a continuous journey. “With a spirit of Continuous Improvement, every small step toward progress can transform the workplace into a safer and more humane space for all,” he concluded.

One Harita: A Unified Commitment to Safety and Well-being

On Monday morning, January 13, 2025, the front yard of the Kawasi Village Head’s office was filled with dozens of residents. Rows of colorful plastic jerrycans filled the dusty ground. The empty jerry cans were lined up neatly as if reflecting the hopes of their owners, who patiently queued for their turn.&nbsp;
In another corner, several women sat in a group, fanning their faces with their hands while engaging in small conversation to pass the time. Children played happily nearby, undeterred by the long queue ahead. Among the waiting crowd, Solvina Bungajari stood holding tightly to her worn jerrycan.&nbsp; “Today, we are very grateful. Finally, we can get kerosene again,” she said.

<figcaption><kbd>Residents lined up from 9 AM in front of the Kawasi Village Head's office to receive free kerosene assistance.</kbd></figcaption>

Since the Christmas and New Year holidays, Kawasi Village has been experiencing a shortage of kerosene, which led to a significant price spike. As a result, many residents have been forced to cut back on their consumption and explore alternative options, such as using firewood for cooking.

However, switching to firewood is not an ideal solution. It slows the cooking process and requires extra attention as the fire is often unstable. This situation underscores the critical and irreplaceable role that kerosene continues to play as an essential need for most families in Kawasi Village.
In response to the situation, Harita Nickel has provided 8,700 liters of kerosene to the residents of Kawasi Village. Each household received up to 20 liters of kerosene as part of this assistance initiative.&nbsp;

<figcaption>The Secretary of Kawasi Village, Frans Datang, expressed his appreciation to Harita Nickel for providing free kerosene to the residents.</figcaption>

Frans Datang, Secretary of Kawasi Village, expressed his deep appreciation for this support. “We are very grateful to Harita Nickel. This support is invaluable, especially when the community is struggling with the kerosene shortage,” he said.

During the distribution process, John Simbolon, Community Relations Superintendent at Harita Nickel, was seen monitoring the distribution process. “We fully understand how important kerosene is for the community here. This assistance is part of our effort to ease their burden,” John said. He also emphasized that this was not a one-time action. “As part of the community, we feel a strong responsibility to provide support. We remain committed to enhancing the well-being of Kawasi Village, not only through emergency assistance but also through other sustainable programs,” he added.

For residents, especially those who are also housewives, like Marlin Nanlessy, the support provided by Harita Nickel is deeply appreciated. “We are grateful to Harita for their care and understanding of the community’s needs. Harita recognizes the difficulties we’ve been facing with the kerosene shortage,” said Marlin. Her words reflected genuine appreciation, particularly when she added, “Even though we have not yet relocated to the new Kawasi Village, we continue to receive support.”

The kerosene distribution created a positive and supportive atmosphere among the community. Residents engaged in light conversation while awaiting their turn, with occasional laughter as children played nearby.
As the sun rose, the line began to thin. The jerrycans, once empty, were now filled with kerosene and ready to be taken home. One by one, the residents began to leave the village office yard, some smiling while carrying their heavy, filled jerrycans.

Although the kerosene shortage has not yet been fully resolved, the distribution on that day provided significant relief to many residents. For the time being, their essential fuel needs have been met.

This initiative underscores the meaningful impact of corporate responsibility.&nbsp; A small initiative like this can offer new hope to residents who are struggling through difficult times. Harita Nickel has once again reaffirmed its commitment to being part of the solution, bringing hope to the community.

This initiative aligns with Harita’s core values, such as Respect for Every Individual and Teamwork. As members of the Harita team, how do you plan to make a positive impact on the communities around us this year?
