50.4 Percent of Companies Rated Red, KLH Encourages Improvement of Environmental Performance

JAKARTA, GARISBUMI.com – More than half of the companies assessed in PROPER 2024/2025 are still ranked Red. These findings become homework for the business world when the government encourages companies to improve their environmental performance to exceed required standards.

Based on data from the Ministry of the Environment/Environmental Control Agency (KLH/Environmental Management Agency (BPLH)), 2,762 of the 5,476 companies participating in the assessment received a Red rating, or around 50.4 percent.

Meanwhile, 2,265 companies were ranked Blue, 253 companies received Green, and 39 companies received Gold.

The encouragement to improve performance was conveyed in the Socialization of More Than PROPER Compliance 2025–2026 in Jakarta, Wednesday (7/10/2026). This forum emphasizes the importance of reducing emissions, resource efficiency, waste management, and benefits for society.

Director of Air Quality Protection and Management at KLH/Environmental Management Agency (BPLH), Edward Nixon Pakpahan, said that PROPER is not only an instrument for assessing company compliance, but also encourages better environmental performance.

"Through the beyond compliance approach, companies are encouraged to develop innovations in reducing emissions, efficient use of energy and water, waste management, as well as programs that provide benefits to society," explained Nixon.

The beyond compliance approach places compliance with standards as the starting point. Companies are encouraged to continue with innovations that can reduce the impact of business activities on the environment.
