PT Putra Perkasa Abadi (PPA) Group focuses not only on operational excellence but also on growing and developing alongside the local community. This dedication was proven by winning two prestigious national-level GOLD Category awards at the Indonesia Sustainable Development Goals Award (ISDA) and the Indonesia CSR Award (ICA), held on September 30, 2026.
At the Indonesia Sustainable Development Goals Award (ISDA), PT Putra Perkasa Abadi Jobsite Bukit Asam secured the GOLD Category award through its flagship program, SMART GROW Premium Melon (P7-2.5), located in Lingga Village, Lawang Kidul District.

The SMART GROW program was designed as an innovative solution in modern agriculture. PPA established a Smart Greenhouse, utilized smart farming technology, and assisted local farming groups in mastering hydroponic cultivation techniques for high-economic-value premium melons. This initiative aims to empower the community to develop their melon cultivation business independently.
This initiative not only boosts the income and productivity of local farmers but also encourages youth involvement in the modern agricultural sector. The program serves as concrete proof of PPA’s contribution toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in supporting inclusive economic growth and community-based food security.

Meanwhile, at the Indonesia CSR Award (ICA), a similar achievement was secured by PPA’s working partner, PT Anugerah Musik Utama (AMM) Jobsite IPT. The Local Travel Service Empowerment Program (7E) in Gunung Sari Village, Tabang District, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan, was awarded the GOLD Category.
This program focuses on strengthening the capacity of local transportation and travel service providers around the mining operations area. Through business governance coaching, enhanced driving safety standards, and the integration of operational service needs, PPA and AMM are building an independent and professional local business ecosystem.
For PPA, these ISDA and ICA GOLD Category awards are far more than just trophies or ceremonial milestones. They represent community trust, the hard work of field teams, and strong synergy among the company, local government, and surrounding stakeholders. Every recognition received serves as a reminder and motivation for PPA to push further forward.
"The true essence of an award does not lie in the trophy or title achieved, but in the extent to which the implemented programs can create positive change, deliver real benefits to the community, and support business sustainability," stated Sunaryo, Department Head of HCGA at PPA.
PPA believes that the success of a mining company is measured by how much benefit the surrounding community experiences, even long after mining operations have concluded. Through the spirit of Empowering People, Creating Impact, Building Sustainability, PT Putra Perkasa Abadi remains committed to delivering relevant, innovative, and impactful empowerment programs to foster sustainable independence for the people of Indonesia.
