The second agenda item of the EGMS was to approve the delegation of authority to the Board of Commissioners, subject to prior written approval from the majority Series B Shareholder, to approve the Company’s 2026 Work Plan and Budget (RKAP), including any amendments.

This serves as an important foundation for the Company’s sustainable performance and future business transformation,” said Suherman.

The decisions reached at the EGMS serve as a foundation for the Company to maintain performance continuity amidst the dynamics of the national cement industry. In line with this, through the third quarter of 2025, SMBR recorded solid performance, with cement sales volume reaching approximately 1.87 million tons, a 21% increase compared to 1.54 million tons in the same period last year.

Meanwhile, EBITDA reached IDR 383.53 billion, a 46% increase compared to IDR 262.15 billion in the same period last year.

SMBR Vice President of Corporate Secretary Hari Liandu stated that this performance achievement is the result of the Company’s consistent implementation of its cost leadership and operational excellence strategies across the board.

“This performance growth is the result of the implementation of operational excellence across various sectors, from optimizing cost to service, achieving more efficient logistics rates, controlling and reducing clinker factors, to increasing the utilization of alternative fuels and raw materials, as well as synergies with SIG, our parent company,” Hari concluded.

Rahmat Hidayat expressed his appreciation for this award. “This award reinforces our belief that the digital transformation we have built continues to have a real impact on improving the company’s operational performance and services. Digitalization is not just a tool, but has become part of the work culture at SMBR,” he said.

, ,

PALEMBANG – A series of flash floods and landslides that occurred in late November 2025 struck West Sumatra, North Sumatra, and Aceh, causing extensive damage to residential areas and public facilities, and forcing thousands of people to evacuate. The impact of these disasters left an urgent need for food and logistical support for survivors.

As a form of concern for the affected communities, PT Semen Baturaja Tbk (SMBR), a subsidiary of PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG), distributed aid through its Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) program, totaling Rp99,600,000.-.

South Sumatra Governor Herman Deru stated that 23 trucks and clean water tanks would arrive in Medan, a journey of approximately 36 hours from Palembang. The supplies would then be distributed to West Sumatra and Aceh, as Medan serves as a central distribution route.

“This aid represents the solidarity of various government agencies, state-owned enterprises (BUMN), regionally-owned enterprises (BUMD), private institutions, and the community. The total amount of aid collected reached IDR 2.6 billion,” Deru said at Griya Agung.

Semen Baturaja Wins Three ICSA 2025 Awards, Strengthening the Foundation of the Company’s Sustainability Transformation

, ,

JAKARTA – PT Semen Baturaja Tbk (SMBR), a subsidiary of PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG), has once again demonstrated its consistency in driving sustainable business transformation. At the 2025 Indonesia Corporate Sustainability Award (ICSA), organized by PT Olahkarsa Inovasi Indonesia and ACEXI (Association of Carbon Emission Experts Indonesia), SMBR won three prestigious awards.

The three awards include a GOLD award for Circular Economy Excellence through “From Waste to Energy: Sludge Oil Innovation as a Green Energy Solution for the Cement Industry,” a SILVER award for Biodiversity Excellence through “Urban Forest Conservation as an Effort to Preserve Fauna in South Sumatra,” and a BRONZE award for Energy Efficiency Excellence through “C-GAIN: Cement Grinding Aid for Innovation & Energy Efficiency.” This recognition demonstrates that SMBR’s sustainability program is not only recognized externally but also has significant operational and environmental impacts.

The award was received by SMBR’s Senior Manager of Health, Safety & Environment, Erwinsya, on behalf of management, on Friday (November 28th) at the Batang Industropolis Special Economic Zone (KEK), Central Java.

Erwinsya stated that this achievement is a testament to the hard work and collaboration of all employees and serves as a source of motivation for the company. “This award encourages us to continue strengthening our sustainability initiatives. This recognition demonstrates that our efforts are on the right track and motivates us to pursue further breakthroughs,” he said.

This achievement was followed by tangible results on the ground. In the Circular Economy Excellent category, the utilization of sludge oil recorded a significant contribution to energy efficiency. Throughout 2024, this program utilized 643.66 tons of sludge oil, generating 87.30 TJ (Tera Joules) of energy, replacing approximately 4,669.7 tons of coal, and providing savings of over IDR 4.88 billion per year, while also supporting carbon emission reductions.

In the Biodiversity Excellence category, SMBR has designated the Baturaja City Forest, a 106-hectare conservation area, as its operational area. Biodiversity monitoring has identified protected species including the Long-tailed Monkey, the Javan Langur, the Mouse Deer, the Javan Hawk-eagle, and others. This demonstrates the area’s vital role as both a wildlife habitat and a sustainable green space surrounding the company’s operations.

Furthermore, in the Energy Efficiency Excellence category, the Cement Grinding Aid for Innovation & Energy Efficiency (C-GAIN) innovation has had a significant impact on energy savings and emissions reductions. In 2024, the implementation of C-GAIN, using 476.29 tons of CGA, successfully reduced the clinker factor by 2.14%—equivalent to a savings of 13,898 tons of clinker, reducing energy requirements by 45,385 GJ (Giga Joules), and reducing coal consumption by 2,347 tons. This program also resulted in cost savings of over IDR 1.36 billion and reduced emissions by approximately 4,357 tons of CO₂-eq.

Erwinsya emphasized that all of these innovations reflect the company’s increasingly mature sustainability direction. “Innovations such as sludge oil, strengthening biodiversity conservation areas, and energy efficiency through C-GAIN demonstrate that SMBR continues to move towards greener, more efficient, and more responsible operations. We are committed to ensuring that every step the company takes benefits the environment, society, and business performance,” he concluded. (*)
