Committing to Sustainability, KPP Mining Wins the 15th Annual Business Improvement Award

PT Kalimantan Prima Persada (KPP Mining), a subsidiary of PT United Tractors Tbk (UT), wins the Excellence in Operational Improvement award on June 25, 2024. This recognition is part of the Immersive Technologies 15th Annual Business 2023 event. KPP Mining is selected as the Company that excelled in sustainability out of competitors from 51 other countries. The award is bestowed upon KPP Mining for implementing simulator-based training programs with an integrated development system. This system has successfully shaped the skills of new local operators in driving heavy-duty (HD) trucks in the field.

The outcomes achieved by KPP Mining reflect the Company’s success in aligning human resources (HR), processes, and technology with mining performance improvements. This success is evidenced by an increase in trainee competency scores from an average of 79.2 to 90, an 11% reduction in fuel consumption, a 25% saving in operator training costs, zero accidents during the training process, a reduction in CO2 emissions by 208.65 TCO2e, and various awards received by KPP Mining for this program. These accolades include the Indonesia Green Sustainable Companies Award 2023 from SWA Media Group and the Good Mining Practice Award from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM). This event is the highest accolade in the mining industry for companies using simulation—employing computer models to mimic mining processes and systems—as a training platform for operators.

Additionally, this event follows the same recognition at the Southeast Asia level, where KPP Mining wins the Best Presenter category held at the Courtyard by Marriott Nusa Dua Hotel, Bali, on October 11-12, 2023. With this award, KPP Mining’s operational area has been proven to focus on enhancing safety, efficiency, and productivity. This achievement will inspire continued commitment to improving operational quality to deliver the best and most sustainable mining services.
