Biodiversity Conservation

MedcoEnergi is firmly committed to environmental stewardship, actively supporting biodiversity conservation efforts throughout our operations. This commitment extends beyond regulatory requirements. Concurrent restoration initiatives are implemented at all domestic oil & gas assets, while revegetation activities at our power facilities surpass compliance standards. Our environmental focus goes further, encompassing proactive measures such as tree replanting programs and the protection of endangered species. By prioritizing these practices, MedcoEnergi strives to minimize environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future.

MedcoEnergi prioritizes the preservation of biodiversity and ecosystems as an integral aspect of our robust Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) Policy. This commitment extends to both the protection of native species and designated conservation areas. Furthermore, adhering to stringent Indonesian regulations, we conduct comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessments (Analisis Mengenai Dampak Lingkungan Hidup/AMDAL) for new operational sites. These in-depth assessments meticulously evaluate the potential impact on biodiversity and the effectiveness of implemented measures to prevent land degradation.

Revegetation Accomplishments
Below is an overview of our replanting efforts:

240

hectares

Planted areas in 2023-2025 beyond regulatory requirements

761

hectares

Planted areas in 2023-2025 according to Forest Area Usage Approval (Persetujuan Penggunaan Kawasan Hutan/PPKH) and Environmental Permits (SKKL)

Tree and Mangrove Planting Initiatives
We planted trees and mangroves across our assets in 2025 to promote biodiversity in land and coastal areas, aligning with SKK Migas’ national tree-planting campaigns.

2025 Upstream Oil & Gas Green Initiatives trees planted as new plantings
Through the Medco Foundation, we continued the Nusataru programme to restore critical land ecosystems, planting approximately 9,000 mangrove and bamboo trees in 2025 across the Karawang and Bekasi regencies in West Java and the Sleman Regency in Yogyakarta. This brings our cumulative total to 75,767 trees planted over the past six years. We also sustained partnerships with local communities to monitor tree growth at several locations, including Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park in West Java. Our support for forest farmer groups (Kelompok Tani Hutan/KTH) includes assisting two KTH groups, representing 180 farmer members, who were in the process of applying for conservation partnership programmes under the Ministry of Environment. Together with these groups, we conducted routine tree maintenance and periodic monitoring to ensure long-term survival and ecosystem recovery.
