Halmahera, 9 April 2026 — Weda Bay Nickel announced that it has obtained ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications, two leading international standards for environmental management systems and occupational health and safety. The certifications were issued following the company’s completion of an independent audit process conducted by an internationally recognized certification body in accordance with global standards.
The achievement reflects Weda Bay Nickel’s commitment to strengthening its compliance framework, responsible and sustainable operational practices, and forms part of the company’s ongoing journey under its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) roadmap, an increasingly critical focus within the nickel mining industry.
ISO 14001 evaluates the effectiveness of environmental management systems in operational activities, including risk identification, impact control, and continuous improvement mechanisms. Meanwhile, ISO 45001 recognizes high standards in occupational health and safety management aimed at minimizing workplace accidents and health issues.
To meet the requirements of both standards, Weda Bay Nickel underwent a comprehensive audit and certification process carried out by a reputable international certification body, encompassing documentation reviews and on-site verification. The certified management systems apply to all operational activities and personnel across the company’s mining areas in North Maluku.
Iwan Kurniawan, Chief Mining Engineering (KTT) at PT Weda Bay Nickel, emphasized that the ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications further reinforce the company’s operational standards while enhancing its competitiveness in the global market.
“These certifications reflect our structured approach to ensuring safe operations and continuously improving environmental and occupational safety performance. These standards are essential elements in maintaining operational reliability and meeting the expectations of global stakeholders,” he stated.
Amid growing demands for transparency and ESG compliance within the battery and electric vehicle supply chains, international certifications such as ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 have
become key reference points in supplier evaluations by global customers. These requirements are intended to ensure that raw materials are produced in accordance with internationally recognized environmental and occupational safety standards.
Weda Bay Nickel views the certifications as strengthening the company’s credibility in meeting international customer requirements while supporting the implementation of its long-term ESG strategy.
The company affirmed that its certified environmental and occupational safety management systems will continue to be evaluated through periodic reviews, internal audits, and continuous improvement initiatives, aligned with evolving regulations and global industry standards.
