    Reducing Landfill Loads Together


    We are committed to comprehensive and sustainable environmental management. PT Vale is committed to achieving zero waste to landfill by 2025, five years ahead of the government’s target. 

    To achieve the zero waste to landfill target, We implemented several supporting activities during 2023, include but not limited to utilized organic waste as feed for maggots and organic compost and community guidance on waste bank management.

    Reducing Water Consumption Intensity

    The commitment to reduce water consumption intensity is realized through the implementation of the Water Efficiency and the Reduction of Wastewater Load Policies. Water usage efficiency is carried out in factory areas, mining sites, offices, and other supporting facilities by 1% per year.

    The amount of water consumed is equal to the water withdrawn from the lake, and no water is taken from water-stressed areas.

    "We believe that the implementation of sustainable mining can significantly contribute to the well-being of the earth and society. Additionally, it provides assurance to customers and stakeholders that PT Vale's mineral products (nickel) are obtained through responsible production processes."
