CILEGON (ISL News) – PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Pelindo) Regional 2 Banten won the Radar Banten CSR Award 2026 in the green initiative subcategory through its environmental conservation program.
The program includes mangrove empowerment and coral reef conservation in a number of coastal areas of Banten.
The award was given at the Radar Banten CSR Award event which took place at the Radar Banten Ballroom, Wednesday, September 23, 2026.
The conservation program implemented by Pelindo Regional 2 Banten is part of the company's commitment to maintaining the coastal ecosystem around its operational areas.
One of the activities undertaken was mangrove planting. Pelindo Regional 2 Banten planted 17,600 mangroves in several areas.
Including the planting of 12,500 mangrove seedlings in Lontar Village, Tangerang Regency, in commemoration of World Environment Day.
In addition to mangroves, Pelindo also runs a coral reef conservation program. One such program is the installation of 225 coral reef racks on Merak Besar Island, Cilegon City, in collaboration with LAZ Harfa.
Finance & HR Manager of Pelindo Regional 2 Banten, Donny Heryawan Setyaputra, said the award was a motivation for the company to continue contributing to society and the environment.
"Thank God, we at Pelindo Regional II Banten have received this award. We hope we can continue to contribute," said Donny.
According to him, as a state-owned enterprise (BUMN), Pelindo not only carries out business functions, but also has a role as a development agent and provides benefits to the community.
"Because we are a state-owned enterprise, a development agent, we also distribute to the community," he said.
Donny said that Pelindo's activities are directly related to marine areas, which makes the company pay attention to coastal environmental conditions.
Therefore, conservation efforts are part of the company's contribution to the areas surrounding its operations.
"Besides that, those of us who are active at sea will contribute to the areas around the sea," he said.
He explained that Pelindo focuses on two environmental programs: coral reef conservation and mangrove empowerment.
"We have two programs today: a coral reef program and a mangrove empowerment program," said Donny.
According to him, this activity is Pelindo's effort to protect the marine area which is part of the company's operational environment.
"Because we operate at sea, we strive to protect and conserve the areas around the sea," he said.
Through these various programs, Pelindo Regional 2 Banten places CSR activities not only on the aspect of social assistance, but also on efforts to maintain coastal ecosystems and support communities around the company's operational areas.
