Jakarta, ThedailyID — Pertamina exceeded its carbon reduction target during the first half of 2026, achieving 118% of its planned decarbonization goal under the company’s annual business plan.
The state-owned energy company said the result reflects its broader commitment to implementing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles across its operations.
“As a global energy company, Pertamina remains committed to implementing ESG in line with international standards. Our decarbonization efforts also support Indonesia’s target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2060,” said Muhammad Baron, Vice President of Corporate Communication at Pertamina.
In addition to reducing emissions, Pertamina reported strong growth in its low-carbon business.
Between January and June 2026, the company’s low-carbon initiatives reached 101% of their annual target, driven by programs including bioethanol, biofuels, and energy efficiency projects.
Baron said those initiatives outperformed the goals outlined in the company’s 2026 Work Plan and Budget (RKAP).
Pertamina also reported positive results across other ESG programs, including sustainable procurement, sustainability budget tagging, and community empowerment initiatives.
Overall ESG governance performance reached 102% of the company’s target, reflecting progress in governance, social responsibility, and sustainability systems.
Baron added that Pertamina has maintained its position as the world’s top-ranked company in ESG performance for the Integrated Oil and Gas sub-industry.
The company has also become a reference point for other state-owned enterprises. On June 24, 2026, Telekom Berhad Malaysia visited Pertamina to study its sustainability strategy, decarbonization initiatives, energy transition programs, and Desa Energi Berdikari (Energy Independent Village) community development program.
Pertamina continues to participate in international initiatives, including the Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC) 2026, as part of its commitment to global emissions reduction efforts following COP28.
