Bumi Suksesindo Wins Prasetya Ahimsa Award for Outstanding Occupational Health and Safety Practices
Bumi Suksesindo (BSI) has been awarded the Prasetya Ahimsa by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) for its achievements in Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) practices.
The Prasetya Ahimsa Award is given to 40 companies in the mineral and coal sector that successfully implemented the highest safety standards throughout 2023. According to the Ministry, this award is presented to companies that pass rigorous assessments, report consistently on safety, and remain free from fatal incidents.
On October 25, 2024, Director General of Mineral and Coal at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Tri Winarno, presented the award to BSI’s President Director, Adi Adriansyah Sjoekri, during a mining company directors’ meeting in Bandung.
“I am incredibly proud,” said Adi Sjoekri. “This award strengthens our commitment to a safe operational future that maximizes positive impacts for our community.”
As a subsidiary of PT Merdeka Copper Gold Tbk, BSI has prioritized OHS from the outset, since beginning operations at the Tujuh Bukit Gold Mine in Banyuwangi, East Java. Strict safety standards are embedded in every daily activity to ensure a safe and sustainable work environment.
This achievement adds to the four other awards BSI received in the 2024 Good Mining Practices (GMP) Awards on September 25. In the event, BSI received the Main Award for Mineral Mining Technical Management, the Pratama Award for Mining Safety Management, and both the Aditama and Best Awards for Environmental Management. These awards reflect the company’s commitment to applying good mining practices.
As part of the GMP Awards, the Prasetya Ahimsa specifically highlights the company’s exemplary mining safety performance.
These accolades reflect BSI’s dedication to maintaining the highest safety standards across all operations. With this award, BSI reaffirms its commitment to safe mining operations in line with the government’s vision for a secure, sustainable, and positively impactful mining environment.
