GREENING – Planting 27,000 trees is part of PNM’s effort to support reforestation, while also contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 13 on Climate Action and Goal 15 on Life on Land.

DEPOK, JAKARTA – Planting a single tree may seem like a small step, but its benefits can grow far beyond the time it is planted.

Roots that hold the soil, leaves that help bring cleaner air, and trunks that will one day provide shade serve as reminders that trees play a vital role in the balance of nature.

Therefore, planting 27,000 trees is part of PNM’s initiative to support reforestation, while also contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically Goal 13 on Climate Action and Goal 15 on Life on Land.

Through the PNM Peduli program, PT Permodalan Nasional Madani (Persero) or PNM expands the meaning of empowerment to include environmental aspects.

The tree-planting movement is carried out at 58 PNM branches across Indonesia, with each branch planting at least 500 tree seedlings.

Overall, 27,000 trees are planted as a simple yet meaningful step to create a healthier environment for communities where they live, work, do business, and build their families’ futures.

With the spirit of #PNMuntukUMKM and #PNMPemberdayaanUMKM, this movement is also part of PNM’s sustainability series, continuing the spirit of RE3 FOR-E which previously successfully collected 20 tons of wearable clothing from PNM personnel to be redistributed to those in need, along with reading books to support literacy access.

The same values are also carried forward through PNM Mengajar, which reaches 58 vocational schools from Sabang to Merauke.

From clothing that becomes useful again, to books that open learning opportunities, to trees planted for the future, PNM wants to show that care can take many forms that are close to the needs of the community.

The President Director of PNM stated that PNM’s green commitment is part of the company’s responsibility to provide sustainable benefits.

“For PNM, empowerment is not only about helping communities develop their businesses, but also about preserving the living space where they grow. Through tree planting and various other sustainability programs, we want the benefits we provide to be felt not only today, but also to grow for future generations,” he said.
