SUSTAINABILITY

BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

EFFICIENT COAL EXTRACTION

The mining industry is undergoing a transformation, driven by international agreements like the 1992 Earth Summit and the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development. At Alvita Resources, we are committed to being part of this positive change.

  • Prioritizing Responsible Waste Management: We prioritize responsible waste management to prevent environmental disasters. This includes ensuring all waste is handled safely and efficiently.
  • Minimizing Our Footprint: We advocate for sustainability by reusing residual soil extracted from past mining projects. This approach minimizes waste and reduces our environmental footprint.
  • Community Collaboration: We also collaborate with community waste companies in redeveloping our mines. This fosters a collaborative approach to ensure a sustainable future for all.

Government Officials and our team are constantly seeking ways to improve the environment:

      • Land Use Planning: Establishing clear zoning and land-use designations can help prevent conflicting claims.
      • Community Consultation: Including local communities in decision-making processes regarding land use can help minimize social disruption.
      • Impact Assessments: Thorough assessments of the environmental and social impacts of mining projects before granting licenses can help mitigate negative consequences.

By addressing these overlapping land-use claims, Indonesia can move towards a more sustainable mining future that considers the social and environmental costs alongside economic benefits.

      • Social Impact: Preferential treatment for coal mining can displace communities who rely on the land for agriculture or other activities. This can lead to social unrest and loss of livelihoods.
      • Economic Impact: Uncertainty around land use rights discourages investment in sustainable practices, hindering the development of a long-term and responsible mining industry.
      • Environmental Impact: If other land uses, like forestry or sustainable farming, are restricted due to unclear land rights, it can lead to deforestation and environmental degradation.

This situation emphasizes the need for:

      • Stronger Land Use Regulations: Clear and consistent regulations that fairly consider the needs of all land users, including local communities, are crucial.
      • Transparent Licensing Processes: Fair and transparent licensing procedures that consider the social and environmental impacts of mining projects are essential.
      • Community Involvement: Engaging local communities in decision-making processes around land use and mining activities can help mitigate social and environmental concerns.

GOVERNANCE

Building on international accords like the 1992 Earth Summit and the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development, the mining industry is embracing a new era of environmental responsibility.

“Alvita Resources prioritizes responsible waste management to prevent environmental catastrophes. This includes ensuring all waste is handled in a safe and efficient manner.”

We champion sustainability by reusing residual soil from past mining endeavours, minimizing waste generation and lessening our environmental impact. Additionally, we collaborate with local waste management companies to redevelop our mine sites.

Recent modifications to Indonesian mining regulations: The 2020 Mining Law Amendment.

Divestment

Temporary Coal Export Ban (Late 2021): In response to critically low stockpiles for domestic power plants, Indonesia implemented a temporary ban on coal exports in late 2021. This action demonstrates the government’s prioritization of ensuring a stable domestic coal supply for electricity generation.

Focus on Domestic Needs: Indonesia’s policy prioritizes domestic needs for minerals and coal. Exports are only permitted after fulfilling these requirements, reflecting the government’s commitment to its citizens’ energy security.

Potential for Future Policy Shifts: While the temporary ban was eventually lifted due to external pressures, it highlights the government’s willingness to adapt its coal export policies to ensure domestic needs are met. This suggests the potential for future policy changes aimed at maintaining a reliable domestic coal supply.
