Did you know that behind the industrial activities we carry out each day, there is a vital mechanism that measures how far a company is committed to the environment? That mechanism is called PROPER, which stands for Program Penilaian Peringkat Kinerja Perusahaan dalam Pengelolaan Lingkungan Hidup (Corporate Environmental Performance Rating Program). This initiative, launched by Indonesia’s Ministry of Environment and Forestry, aims to encourage companies to manage the environment responsibly, innovatively, and sustainably.
Through PROPER, the government not only evaluates compliance with environmental regulations but also assesses how well companies go beyond these obligations to create a positive impact on the environment and surrounding communities. The assessment process is thorough and includes document reviews, on-site inspections, and verification of the environmental programs implemented by the company. The final outcome is a rating that ranges from Gold, Green, Blue, Yellow to Red. These ratings reflect the extent to which a company safeguards the environment and contributes to sustainable development.

Agincourt Resources, through the operation of the Martabe Gold Mine, has proven that responsible mining is not just a slogan but a concrete practice. For two consecutive years, Agincourt Resources has been awarded the PROPER Green rating, a prestigious recognition that highlights the company’s commitment not only to regulatory compliance but also to delivering innovative programs that benefit both the environment and local communities. This recognition is a tangible testament to how sustainability is embedded in the company’s work culture.
This achievement is the result of the company’s consistent efforts across multiple areas, including biodiversity conservation around the mining site, post-mining land rehabilitation, efficient and accountable waste management, and the implementation of long-term social programs that empower local communities. This ongoing commitment not only strengthens the company’s reputation in the eyes of the public and regulators but also provides real, lasting benefits to ecosystems and nearby populations.
PROPER also plays a crucial role as a public education tool. It enables communities to more easily identify companies that are truly committed to environmental issues. As such, PROPER serves not only as a regulatory instrument but also as a source of inspiration and encouragement for other companies to follow similar paths.
The Green PROPER achievement is the result of the collective hard work of everyone at Agincourt Resources. More than just a milestone, it is a reminder that sustainability is not a final destination, but a continuous journey that requires commitment, innovation, and collaboration from all of us. Let us continue to uphold and strengthen this spirit, for a greener planet and a better future.
