PALEMBANG, June 28, 2026 — As a tangible manifestation of cross-sector collaboration between the corporate sector and the government, PT Karya Pacific Energy Tbk continues to demonstrate its commitment and strengthen strategic measures to anticipate the emergency threat of forest and land fires (karhutla), particularly in facing the prolonged dry season. As a concrete form of synergy between the government and business entities, PT Karya Pacific Energy Tbk is supporting the campaign and program of the South Sumatra Provincial Government’s Forest and Land Fire Mitigation Echo (Gema Mitigasi Bencana Karhutla).
This collaboration involves synergy among local government agencies, disaster management elements, and the private sector operating in strategic areas across South Sumatra. “The threat of forest and land fires is a shared responsibility that cannot be placed solely on the government. The active involvement of corporations, especially the energy and mining sectors operating in South Sumatra, is crucial in strengthening prevention infrastructure at the grassroots level. Through the Gema Mitigasi Bencana Karhutla program, we aim to ensure that all lines—ranging from facilities and infrastructure, the readiness of fire suppression teams, to public education—are well integrated. The support from PT Karya Pacific Energy serves as a highly meaningful additional asset for monitoring fire-prone areas in South Sumatra,” stated a representative of the South Sumatra Provincial Government service.
Meanwhile, PT Karya Pacific Energy Tbk, with its extensive portfolio and subsidiaries operating in the Land of Sriwijaya (Bumi Sriwijaya), remains fully committed to optimizing early warning systems through education, socialization, and the publication of fire mitigation campaigns. The company also ensures the strict implementation of standard operating procedures (SOPs) prohibiting land burning across all operational lines.
The company’s primary focus in this mitigation action centers on raising awareness among communities in fire-prone regions through massive outreach programs urging residents not to clear land using burning methods. This is followed by the reinforcement of infrastructure and early monitoring through the integration of standby posts for forest and land fires, alongside the optimization of hotspot monitoring points equipped with campaign billboards and signage. Through this collaboration, it is hoped that the vulnerability level of forest and land fires can be significantly reduced this year. This massive preventive step simultaneously serves as a testament to the long-term commitment to preserving environmental ecosystems, protecting public health, and ensuring that South Sumatra remains safe and free from haze disasters.
