PT Weda Bay Nickel is dedicated to upholding Indonesian and international standards in terms of Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices.<\/p>\n

Our teams are committed to conducting all operations in full compliance with relevant regulations, with particular attention to social and environmental standards. WBN\u2019s activities to date have met Indonesian regulatory requirements. We work closely with local authorities, ensuring updates and approvals for each new phase of our mining operations. This commitment is reflected in the recent validation in 2024 by Indonesian authorities of our 2023 feasibility study and associated AMDAL. We also regularly monitor and enhance our action plans focused on safety and energy efficiency to maintain high operational standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>

IRMA Standards<\/h2>\n

The shareholders of PT Weda Bay Nickel have chosen to participate in the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance<\/em> (IRMA)<\/a> by agreeing to undergo an audit of their mining site conducted by external independent experts.<\/p>\n

IRMA represents the most rigorous ESG & CSR standard currently available for the mining industry. This initiative is a collaborative effort involving more than 50 members, such as purchasers, labour unions, non-governmental organizations, affected communities, investors, mining firms, and financial entities.<\/p>\n<\/div>

With the backing of Eramet, PT Weda Bay Nickel has established a dedicated IRMA team, and the entire organization has united in support of these initiatives. Consequently, PT Weda Bay Nickel is gearing up to undergo an audit by IRMA’s external auditors focusing on environmental, social, and societal aspects after having concluded all assessment preparation in 2025<\/span><\/span>. To align with IRMA standards, an initial self-assessment has been conducted in 2023. PT WBN is fully mobilized to meet that standard with their stakeholders.<\/p>\n<\/div>
