As a gold mining company committed to responsible environmental management, the Martabe Gold Mine supports this call through sustainable waste management practices. In this context, the Zero Waste principle has become increasingly relevant—not merely as a slogan, but as a practical and measurable operational approach to reducing environmental impacts and supporting long-term sustainability.

What Is Zero Waste?

Zero Waste does not mean producing no waste at all. Rather, it is an approach that seeks to minimise waste generation at its source, maximise the reuse and recycling of materials, and ensure that any remaining waste is managed safely and responsibly.

At the Martabe Gold Mine, this principle is implemented through a waste management hierarchy consisting of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recovery, and Dispose. This approach helps minimise environmental impacts while supporting operational efficiency.

The Four Pillars of Zero Waste at the Martabe Gold Mine

First, reducing waste at its source. This is achieved through the more efficient use of materials, packaging, and resources, thereby minimising the amount of waste generated.

Second, reusing materials that still have value. Before being classified as waste, materials are assessed to determine whether they can continue to be used effectively.

Third, recycling valuable materials.
 Materials such as metals, paper, and plastics are channelled to licensed waste management partners so that they can be reintroduced into the industrial cycle.

Fourth, managing hazardous waste responsibly. Hazardous and toxic waste is handled in accordance with applicable regulations, from storage and transportation through to treatment by authorised and licensed parties.

Managing Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste

Waste management is an essential part of the Martabe Gold Mine’s environmental commitment. For hazardous waste, including used oil, batteries, accumulators, lamps, and process chemicals, every stage of management is carried out in accordance with established standards and regulations to prevent adverse impacts on the environment and human health.

Meanwhile, the management of non-hazardous waste begins with segregation at the source. Separating organic, recyclable, and residual waste helps improve recycling effectiveness, reduce contamination risks, and support more efficient waste management practices.

What Can We Do?

The successful implementation of Zero Waste requires the participation of all Martabe Gold Mine employees. Some simple actions that can make a difference include:

• Segregating waste according to its category at the point of generation.
• Completing hazardous waste manifest documents accurately and comprehensively.
• Promptly reporting any potential spills, leaks, or non-compliance in waste management practices.
• Reducing the use of single-use items and adopting environmentally responsible habits in daily activities.

One Planet, One Commitment

World Environment Day 2026 serves as an important opportunity to strengthen our commitment to protecting the environment. Through the consistent application of Zero Waste principles, even small actions can contribute to meaningful and lasting environmental benefits.

Together, let us protect our planet. The time to act for the climate is now. #NowForClimate

Through this programme, students were introduced to the importance of protecting the environment from an early age and encouraged to recognise that the impacts of climate change are becoming increasingly evident and are being felt by communities around the world. Guided by the spirit of “Working for the Climate”, Agincourt Resources sought to instil the understanding that safeguarding the planet is not solely the responsibility of governments or businesses, but a shared obligation that can begin with simple actions in everyday life.

Agincourt Resources Education Supervisor, Laung Lubis, explained that climate change is a global challenge requiring contributions from all sectors of society. He expressed his hope that students would become agents of change, inspiring their families and communities to adopt more environmentally responsible behaviours.

Representing Agincourt Resources’ Environment Department, Junior Supervisor Data Management & GIS, Rizkya Putri, served as the resource speaker for the session. During her presentation, Rizkya discussed climate change from a scientific perspective, including how increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases contribute to global warming, leading to more frequent extreme weather events, shifting rainfall patterns, and disruptions to ecosystem balance.

The Principal of Batang Toru State Junior High School 2, Nurhamidah Lubis, expressed her appreciation for the programme and thanked Agincourt Resources for selecting the school as the venue for the activity. According to her, climate change education is highly relevant to the education sector, as a healthy environment plays a crucial role in creating a comfortable, safe, and productive learning atmosphere.

Through Martabe Green to School, Agincourt Resources not only provided an engaging and interactive learning experience but also sought to foster collective awareness of the importance of environmental stewardship. By equipping students with knowledge about climate change and environmental management, the Company hopes to inspire a generation that is more environmentally conscious, resilient, and prepared to become part of the solution to future climate challenges.

Beyond physical land changes, daily operational activities such as the use of heavy machinery and material processing also contribute to rising local temperatures. Heat emissions from production machinery can affect air temperature and circulation, which ultimately impacts the safety and comfort of personnel in the field. In this context, monitoring environmental parameters is crucial for managing operational risks and maintaining the ecosystem balance surrounding the mine site.

As an embodiment of sustainable mining practices, Agincourt Resources consistently records and monitors microclimate parameters using technology such as weather stations and data loggers. This continuous monitoring system enables real-time analysis of environmental trends, mirroring the transparency of water quality monitoring which involves rigorous supervision and routine reporting.

The collected information serves as a vital foundation for the company to evaluate environmental impacts and support sustainable mitigation efforts. This includes the land rehabilitation and revegetation programmes continuously undertaken by Agincourt Resources to restore ecosystem balance and ensure that the mine’s presence remains in harmony with nature conservation in the Batang Toru region.

Through this educational initiative, teenagers were encouraged to understand the importance of planning their future from an early age, maintaining reproductive health, and avoiding various risky behaviours, such as early marriage, the misuse of narcotics, psychotropic substances, and other addictive substances (NAPZA), as well as promiscuity.

A total of 95 participants attended the activity, consisting of students, teachers, the school principal, representatives of the South Tapanuli Regency PPKB Agency, the South Tapanuli GENRE Forum, and Agincourt Resources representatives. The programme was conducted interactively through educational sessions, discussions, and experience-sharing activities aimed at increasing young people’s understanding of the importance of planning a healthy and high-quality future.

In her remarks, Agincourt Resources Community Health Supervisor, Missy Lubis, stated that one of the company’s commitments in the health sector, as outlined in its Community Development and Empowerment programme, is supporting adolescent health through the GENRE Programme.

“The main objective of the GENRE Programme is to prevent risky behaviour among teenagers, build positive character in the younger generation, and encourage young people to become peer educators within their communities. Through the GENRE Goes to School initiative, we hope students will gain broader knowledge about the GENRE Programme and be able to identify various adolescent issues within the school environment at an early stage,” she said.

The Principal of Muara Batang Toru State Junior High School 2, Gursal Harahap, also expressed appreciation to Agincourt Resources for its continued contribution to the community, particularly to the students of the school. “We would like to thank Agincourt Resources for consistently contributing to the development of young people. We hope that the GENRE ambassadors will become role models who inspire teenagers to plan their future wisely, avoid risky behaviours such as early marriage, free sex, and NAPZA misuse, and actively disseminate information on reproductive health and marriage age maturity,” said Gursal Harahap.

These programmes have been developed as an effort to strengthen the local economy while creating alternative livelihoods based on regional potential. By harnessing opportunities available in South Tapanuli Regency, both programmes are expected to generate broader economic and social impacts for local communities.

Developing the Potential of Goat Farming in South Tapanuli

Goat farming in South Tapanuli Regency presents considerable potential for further development. Through the application of appropriate farming methods, capacity building for livestock farmers, and support from various stakeholders, the goat farming sector can become a highly promising source of economic growth.

Recognising this potential, Agincourt Resources established Martabe Goat Farm as an initiative to develop meat goat farming in the Batang Toru area. The programme serves as a solution to meet meat supply demands while also encouraging the growth of a livestock commodity with high economic value.

Martabe Goat Farm focuses on the development of Boerka goats, a crossbreed between Boer goats and local Kacang goats. This breed is recognised for its faster growth rate, strong adaptability to tropical environments, and greater meat production potential compared with local goat breeds. Boerka goats also have meat productivity approximately two to three times higher than local goats, making them a promising livestock commodity with significant development prospects.

As part of its implementation, Martabe Goat Farm utilises superior breeding stock sourced from the Small Ruminant Standard Instrument Testing Centre (LPSI RK) Sei Putih, Deli Serdang Regency, consisting of eight male goats and eighty female goats.

The programme also involves a partnership with SMKN 1 Batang Toru through mentoring and training for 14 students as part of efforts to strengthen capacity and introduce modern livestock farming practices. In addition, the operational management of Martabe Goat Farm is carried out by four local young people who are responsible for feed management, pen maintenance, breeding activities, and livestock health.

Through this programme, it is hoped that new economic opportunities will be created in South Tapanuli, providing alternative commodities with long-term prospects while supporting livelihoods based on local potential.

Responding to Opportunities in Local Egg Production

In addition to goat farming, Agincourt Resources has also established Martabe Chicken Farm as an initiative to strengthen the laying hen farming sector in South Tapanuli.

Martabe Chicken Farm is managed by three local young people in partnership with SMKN 1 Batang Toru. The programme also collaborates with maize farmers as livestock feed suppliers through a 20-hectare farming area. Although the programme was affected by flooding, development efforts have continued, including potential land rehabilitation for maize cultivation in Aek Sirara, Sumuran Village, covering approximately 10 hectares and involving 13 farmers.

To date, Martabe Chicken Farm has produced around 1,100 eggs per day, representing an important first step towards supporting increased local egg production in South Tapanuli.

Martabe Goat Farm and Martabe Chicken Farm form part of Agincourt Resources’ commitment to promoting sustainable community empowerment. These programmes not only create new business opportunities but also provide space for younger generations to enhance their skills, broaden their knowledge, and build economic independence based on local resources.

As part of its commitment to sustainable mining practices, Agincourt Resources has implemented a used oil waste management strategy through the Waste Oil Processing Plant (WOPP) programme. The programme utilises used oil as a substitute material in blasting operations, allowing waste that previously required specialised disposal to be reused within operational processes that still hold technical value.

In its implementation, the WOPP programme uses a material mixture containing approximately 80 per cent used oil as a substitute supporting material for blasting activities. This approach forms part of the Company’s application of the principles of reduce, reuse, recovery, waste minimisation, and circular economy in operational waste management. Through this utilisation process, the volume of used oil waste requiring storage or external disposal can be significantly reduced.

The management of used oil waste begins with proper segregation and standardised storage procedures, including the use of specially labelled containers, secondary containment systems, and protected storage areas designed to minimise spill risks and rain exposure. In addition, before being utilised in the WOPP programme, the used oil also undergoes quality control processes to ensure compliance with technical specifications and operational safety requirements.

Beyond improving waste management efficiency, the programme also helps reduce the need for transporting waste to external parties, thereby contributing to the reduction of indirect emissions associated with waste transportation activities. From an operational perspective, the implementation of WOPP also supports resource efficiency and the sustainable reduction of waste management costs.

As the programme involves flammable materials and blasting activities, the implementation of WOPP is supported by strict risk control measures, including the application of waste handling SOPs, regular inspections of storage facilities, worker training on hazardous material handling, the use of appropriate PPE, and emergency response preparedness. These measures are implemented to ensure that safety remains the highest priority throughout all stages of waste management and utilisation.

Through the implementation of the Waste Oil Processing Plant, Agincourt Resources continues to strengthen its commitment to innovative, responsible, and sustainable waste management practices. This approach forms an important part of supporting mining practices aligned with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles while reinforcing the implementation of circular economy practices within the Company’s operational environment.

Through the implementation of ILP, healthcare services are no longer focused solely on specific age groups but are instead delivered through a more comprehensive life-cycle approach, covering pregnant women, toddlers, adolescents, working-age adults, and older people. This approach aims to enhance the effectiveness of primary healthcare services so that communities can benefit from faster, more coordinated, and sustainable healthcare provision.

On the occasion, the Deputy Regent of South Tapanuli Regency, H. Jafar Syahbuddin Ritonga, expressed his appreciation and gratitude for Agincourt Resources’ commitment to improving healthcare service quality for communities, particularly in Batang Toru and Muara Batang Toru Districts. He expressed hope that this initiative would foster sustainable synergy between the private sector and government for a better future for South Tapanuli. He also noted that Agincourt Resources’ contributions had already been widely felt across other sectors, including education, MSMEs, agriculture, and cultural development.

Echoing this sentiment, Agincourt Resources Community Development Manager, Rohani Simbolon, emphasised that the company’s support for the healthcare sector extends beyond infrastructure development to strengthening the capacity of human resources on the ground. She stated that the implementation of this initiative reflects strong collaboration between Agincourt Resources, the Health Office, and Hutaraja Community Health Centre.

“What we do is not only build infrastructure but also strengthen human resources. We and the Community Health Centre continue to assist health cadres in reaching communities directly through house-to-house visits for early detection efforts,” said Rohani. She also highlighted that the company’s presence should create sustainable social impact and that healthcare programmes should not end as ceremonial activities alone, but instead continue delivering tangible benefits to communities.

Agincourt Resources’ support for strengthening primary healthcare services forms part of the company’s Community Development and Empowerment Programme (PPM) within the healthcare sector. Previously, the company had also supported healthcare service development through strengthening community health posts (Posyandu), providing specialist doctors, and enhancing healthcare facilities across Batang Toru and surrounding areas.

The ILP programme is expected to strengthen the quality of basic healthcare services at Community Health Centres (Puskesmas) and Auxiliary Community Health Centres (Pustu), while also bringing healthcare access closer to communities living around the Martabe Gold Mine operational area. In addition to improving service effectiveness, this approach also supports promotive and preventive healthcare efforts, enabling communities to receive more optimal healthcare services from an early stage.

Through collaboration with local government authorities, healthcare professionals, and local healthcare facilities, Agincourt Resources continues to support the development of a more adaptive, inclusive, and sustainable healthcare system as part of the company’s contribution to improving community quality of life.

During the activity, the Section Agriculture Development team delivered 1,000 eggs as part of a routine purchasing partnership with PT GDSK. This distribution programme is planned to continue a sustainable basis, with deliveries scheduled three times a week, where each shipment consists of approximately 1,000 eggs according to operational requirements.

In addition to supporting the needs of business partners within the mining area, the Martabe Chicken Farm team also actively markets eggs to communities around Batang Toru, based on local consumer demand. This initiative forms part of efforts to expand market access while strengthening the economic independence of the assisted community group.

Beyond egg production, Martabe Chicken Farm also utilises livestock waste, commonly known as kohe, as organic fertiliser that is distributed free of charge to local communities. This support is primarily intended for corn farmers in Aek Sirara, Sumuran, whose agricultural areas were affected by flooding, as part of efforts to support the recovery of the local agricultural sector.

Revenue generated from these sales is subsequently used to support the sustainability of Martabe Chicken Farm operations, including the provision of feed, livestock medicines, animal maintenance needs, and poultry housing management. As such, the programme not only encourages the productivity of the assisted group but also strengthens the long-term sustainability and independence of community-based livestock farming businesses. Through this initiative, Agincourt Resources continues to promote empowerment programmes that deliver tangible economic benefits to communities, while also strengthening collaboration and community independence within the Company’s operational areas.
