Deputy Minister of Environment Asks Mining Industry to Report Emissions via SIGN-SMART

JAKARTA, GARISBUMI.com – Deputy Minister of the Environment and Deputy Head of the Environmental Control Agency (KLH/Environmental Management Agency (BPLH)) Diaz Hendropriyono asked the mining industry to strengthen decarbonization and increase responsibility towards the environment.

Diaz emphasized that the large profits obtained by mining companies must be accompanied by comparable environmental responsibilities.

"Don't forget that big profits must be accompanied by more responsibility. This means that environmental responsibility must be even greater. We need to make decarbonization efforts," said Diaz at the RESOURCES ID Annual Business Meeting 2026 in Jakarta, Monday (21/9/2026).

The meeting had the theme Beyond Boundaries, Toward Global Excellence: Advancing Sustainable Mining Services Through Innovation and Collaboration.

According to Diaz, decarbonization is part of the national development mandate as stated in the 1945 Constitution and President Prabowo Subianto's Asta Cita.

"The state must be present because decarbonization is a mandate. It is stated in Article 33 Paragraph 4 of the Constitution that development must be environmentally friendly and in Asta Cita Number 8 to harmonize a harmonious life with the environment and nature. This means that decarbonization must be carried out in all sectors," he said.
