Deputy Chairman, Ir. Resvani, in an interview with KumparanBisnis The Hormuz Crisis Is an Opportunity for Indonesia: Nickel’s Fate in Penetrating the Global Market (translated by Google) remarked that Indonesia has begun adopting IRMA as a strategy to penetrate premium markets.

“Indonesia has begun adopting the world’s most stringent mining standards, namely the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA).

Resvani highlighted the progressive steps taken by national mining companies, such as Harita Nickel (PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk), which pioneered the first integrated nickel company in Indonesia to voluntarily undergo an IRMA audit.

Besides Harita Nickel, other major companies such as PT Vale Indonesia Tbk have also taken similar steps, demonstrating the country’s mining industry’s serious commitment to meeting international environmental, social, and governance (ESG) requirements.

The implementation of the IRMA standard, which covers more than 400 indicators, is not just a formality, but a precise strategy to penetrate the premium market in Europe and the United States.”
