This award recognises individuals and corporations who positively contribute to Indonesia in the areas of developing the country’s infrastructure, improving the welfare of the society and enhancing the creativity of the nation etc.

 “The Indonesian Business Award 2015” awards the most outstanding company in the business sector of Indonesia.


Mr Melati said, “Currently, Indonesia faces many issues in poverty, social welfare and education. I hope both awards can inspire others to take note of the current conditions in the country and to step forward. In order for Indonesia to advance as a nation, that requires commitment, determination and hard work from everyone.

"As corporations, we can all work together for the advancement of the nation and also to provide meaningful employment for our work force.

"Using up-to-date coal mining equipment and facility has tremendously upgraded the knowledge and skill set of our workforce. By taking initiatives to build up our logistics and facilities, we have also improved the infrastructure and accessibility in the area we operate. In terms of creativity, our constant innovation in the coal mining process has enabled us to remain one of the leaders in our industry."
