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

Industry Asked to Report Emissions

Diaz encouraged industry players to calculate and report greenhouse gas emissions and their reduction results to KLH/Environmental Management Agency (BPLH) through the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory System or SIGN-SMART.

This reporting is needed so that the government can monitor emissions reduction achievements as well as develop incentive mechanisms for companies that carry out decarbonization.

"There is Presidential Regulation Number 110 which provides incentives to industry. So, the industrial sector must report its emission calculations to SIGN-SMART so that KLH/Environmental Management Agency (BPLH) can monitor it. Later there will be an emissions trading system that can provide incentives," he explained.

It is hoped that the emissions trading system will encourage companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while increasing industrial efficiency and competitiveness.

Encourage ANTAM to Win Gold PROPER Again

Apart from decarbonization, Diaz highlighted the importance of company compliance and performance in environmental management.

KLH/Environmental Management Agency (BPLH) assesses the company's environmental performance through the Company Performance Rating Assessment Program in Environmental Management or PROPER.

Diaz hopes that PT Aneka Tambang Tbk or ANTAM can improve its environmental performance and again obtain Gold PROPER, the highest ranking in the assessment.
