The awards were conferred on SDN No. 100707 Perkebunan Batang Toru, SMPN 2 Batang Toru, and SMKN 2 Batang Toru, all of which have benefited from ongoing mentoring through Agincourt Resources’ Adiwiyata development programme in collaboration with the South Tapanuli Regional Environmental Agency (DLHD). The ceremony was attended by the Minister of Environment of the Republic of Indonesia, Hanif Faisol Nurofiq, alongside representatives of regional governments and award-winning schools from across Indonesia.

The Adiwiyata Programme forms part of the School Environmental Care and Culture Movement (Gerakan Peduli dan Berbudaya Lingkungan Hidup di Sekolah – GPBLHS), which promotes the integration of environmental values into school curricula, governance, and the daily behaviour of school communities. The programme also aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goals 12 and 13, which focus on sustainable consumption and climate awareness.

The Head of the South Tapanuli Regional Environmental Agency, H. Ongku Muda Atas,  expressed his appreciation for the achievement, noting that it reflects both Agincourt Resources’ consistent support and the schools’ strong commitment to implementing the Adiwiyata programme. Similarly, the Principal of SMPN 2 Batang Toru expressed hope that this achievement would serve as a foundation for nurturing a new generation that is environmentally conscious and culturally aware.

Through its continued support for environmental education, Agincourt Resources reaffirms its commitment to growing alongside local communities and fostering future generations who are environmentally responsible, accountable, and competitive.

In addition, two other schools from South Tapanuli Regency, SD Negeri 100104 Sitinjak and SMP Negeri 3 Tantom Angkola, also attained the Provincial-level Adiwiyata title.

The Adiwiyata program is a national initiative aimed at cultivating environmentally conscious and responsible schools. It has become an integral part of Agincourt Resources’ Community Development and Empowerment Program. Through this involvement, the company actively supports Ministry of Environment and Forestry Regulations Number 52 and 53 of 2019, which promote private sector participation in school-based environmental education.   This achievement is expected to serve as an inspiration for more schools across North Sumatra to integrate sustainability values into their educational practices. With a spirit of collaboration and consistent mentoring, Agincourt Resources remains committed to being a partner in nurturing a future generation that is environmentally conscious and prepared to face global challenges.
