Semen Baturaja Trains Ring 1 Residents to Prepare for Fires and Disasters, Demonstrating a Real-Life Commitment to Safety

, , ,

BATURAJA – As a fire prevention measure, PT Semen Baturaja Tbk (SMBR), a subsidiary of PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG), through its Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) Unit, in collaboration with the Fire and Rescue Service (Damkarmat) and the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Ogan Komering Ulu (OKU) Regency, held a fire drill and simulation training and disaster response training for residents in Ring 1 surrounding the company’s operational area.

The activity, which took place at Ganesha Arena, Baturaja, OKU Regency, South Sumatra, on Wednesday (August 13th), aimed to improve the community’s knowledge and skills in dealing with potential fires and other emergency situations.

The training, attended by residents of Ring 1, was also attended by representatives of the local government, including the Head of West Baturaja District, Yan Kurniawan, the Head of East Baturaja District, Khairuddin Albar, and village heads from the Ring 1 area.

The event was officially opened by SMBR Vice President of Corporate Secretary Hari Liandu, who emphasized the importance of emergency preparedness.

“This event is a concrete manifestation of our commitment to growing and developing with the community. Training like this is crucial for our safety. We never know when an emergency will occur, so this training teaches us to act quickly, remain calm, and help each other,” he said.

The training featured two speakers from the OKU Regency Fire and Rescue Service (Damkarmat): Taslim Winardi and Gunawansyah from the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD). Taslim presented material on Fire Prevention and Response Behavior, covering causes, preventative measures, and initial extinguishing techniques.

“Fires usually occur due to minor negligence that we are unaware of. With the right knowledge and skills, such as using a fire extinguisher and wet cloth, a fire can be extinguished before it grows,” he said.

Meanwhile, Gunawansyah explained the Disaster Management Socialization program, covering evacuation procedures, coordination between residents, and the community’s role in risk mitigation.

“Disasters cannot be predicted, but preparedness can be practiced. By understanding evacuation procedures, safe routes, and coordination between residents, we can minimize the risk of loss of life and loss of life,” he emphasized.

In addition to receiving educational materials, residents also participated in live simulations, covering handling fires caused by LPG leaks, using portable fire extinguishers (APAR), and proper evacuation techniques during a disaster. This training aimed to train residents’ reflexes, courage, and skills in dealing with emergencies.

The Head of Sukajadi Village, Yessy Oktariani, appreciated SMBR’s active community involvement.

“We thank PT Semen Baturaja for conducting fire drill and disaster management simulations. We hope the knowledge we gained will benefit the community, especially in Sukajadi and the Ring 1 area. We hope this synergy with the government will continue,” he said.

One participant, Yon Efrison from RT 21, Tiga Gajah Complex, said he gained valuable experience.

“Thank you to PT Semen Baturaja for holding this training. Now, if a fire occurs, we know how to handle it,” he said.

With this training, SMBR hopes to create a safer, more resilient, and disaster-ready environment through collaboration between the company, the government, and the community. (*)

Semen Baturaja’s (SMBR) Net Profit Increases from Single Digits to Double Digits in the First Half of 2025

, ,

BATURAJA – PT Semen Baturaja Tbk (SMBR), a subsidiary of PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG), recorded a significant performance surge during the first half of 2025. The company’s net profit soared to IDR 79.62 billion, a tenfold increase compared to IDR 7.32 billion in the same period last year. This increase marks SMBR’s success in emerging from single-digit sales and recording double-digit net profit growth in the first half of this year.

This net profit growth was supported by improvements in overall operational performance. Cement sales volume reached 1.13 million tons, an increase of approximately 21% compared to 928,646 tons in the previous period. This increase in sales also boosted the company’s revenue to IDR 1.09 trillion, a 31% increase from IDR 835.18 billion.

This improved performance was also reflected in a significant increase in operating profit to IDR 133.79 billion, a 168% increase compared to IDR 49.84 billion in the same period last year. The company’s EBITDA also increased 60% to IDR 236.67 billion from IDR 147.91 billion. This performance contributed to an increase in the EBITDA margin to 22% compared to 18% in the same period last year, reflecting increasingly optimal operational efficiency.

SMBR’s Vice President of Corporate Secretary, Hari Liandu, stated that this impressive achievement was the result of a combination of sound strategies and synergy with the parent company.

“This achievement is the result of the right strategy and solid synergy with SIG, which provides significant added value to our efficiency and performance,” said Hari.

He added that the company’s performance growth is inseparable from its ongoing efficiency strategy and increased market penetration in the Southern Sumatra (Sumbagsel) region, which is the company’s primary market share.

“We are seeing strong growth, especially in the South Sumatra and Sumatra region. Based on data from the Indonesian Cement Association (ASI), cement demand in this region grew by 14.2% (yoy) in the second quarter of 2025, far exceeding the national growth of 2.7% (yoy). This opens up a significant opportunity for SMBR to continue strengthening its position in the regional market,” said Hari.

Furthermore, Hari explained that the improved performance was not only due to increased demand, but also thanks to the company’s success in implementing a measurable operational strategy and synergy with its parent company, SIG.

“We are focusing on cost efficiency across all lines, from production and distribution to energy management. The use of alternative fuels, optimization of delivery routes, and integration of logistics systems are part of our efforts to reduce costs and increase margins. Furthermore, we continue to maintain service quality and optimize our sales network,” he explained.

SMBR is optimistic that this positive trend will continue in the second half of 2025. The company is also continuing to strengthen its operational strategy through product diversification, digital transformation of business processes, and the implementation of sustainability principles to create healthy long-term growth.

Semen Baturaja Commemorates World Environment Day by Planting Trees and Swapping Plastic Waste for Coffee Movement

, , ,

BATURAJA – In order to commemorate World Environment Day, PT Semen Baturaja Tbk (SMBR) carried out a tree planting activity as a real manifestation of the company’s commitment to environmental sustainability and efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

The activity, which was held on Friday morning (13/6), took place in the biomass area and directly involved all levels of the Board of Directors and the company’s Vice President. Not only internally, SMBR also invited contractors who were involved in the reclamation activities to participate in planting trees as a form of collaboration to protect the environment collectively.

The Board of Directors who attended included President Director Suherman Yahya, Director of Finance & HR Rahmat Hidayat, and Director of Operations Taufik.

World Environment Day, which is commemorated every June 5, is a very important global momentum in increasing awareness and collective action towards environmental protection. This year, the theme of the commemoration set is “Planting More Trees and Ending Plastic Pollution” or “Plant More Plants and Stop Plastic Pollution”.

The trees planted in this activity consist of productive types of plants such as Tangerine (Citrus Reticulata), Starfruit (Averrhoa Carambola), Alligator Avocado (Persea Americana) and Guava (Psidium Guajava). These plants were chosen because they have the potential to provide ecological and economic benefits to the surrounding environment.

In his speech, Suherman Yahya said that this momentum should be a shared reflection to continue to contribute to protecting the earth. “Planting these trees is a step to instill a commitment in each of us to love the environment. We want to continue to produce efficient and quality products, which of course also has an impact on achieving the best performance for all of us,” said Suherman.

Furthermore, Suherman explained that this activity is part of the company’s long-term strategy in supporting sustainable environmental management.

“We are also committed to continuing to support government policies in environmental management, including in the implementation of tree planting in greening efforts such as planting biomass plants (calliandra trees) which have been carried out, namely stage 1 totaling 1500 and stage 2 totaling 1200 so that the total that we have planted is 2700 trees,” he explained.

In addition to tree planting, SMBR is also running a plastic pollution reduction initiative through the Eco Café Program, a creative movement entitled Ngopi Payar Pakai Sampah. This program was motivated by concerns about the large piles of plastic waste in the community. Through this program, the community can exchange used plastic bottles that are collected for a cup of coffee.

Eco Café is the result of a collaboration with Semen Baturaja’s fostered MSMEs based in Baturaja, namely Ngopi Kuday, which is active in empowering the local economy. Since its launch in 2023, this program has succeeded in building public awareness to care about the environment. In 2024, the total number of plastic bottles collected through this program reached 758.5 ​​kilograms.

“Semen Baturaja is the first pioneer of the Eco Café Program in OKU Regency, we want to build a shared awareness that protecting the environment can start from simple things. Swapping plastic bottles for coffee is not only a symbol of the green movement, but also a real effort to form a new culture that cares about reducing plastic waste in society,” said Suherman.

Through these various activities, Semen Baturaja emphasizes that its commitment to environmental sustainability is not only realized through internal company efforts, but also through collaborative initiatives that support the creation of long-term sustainability for the environment and society.
