SAMARINDA (ISL News) - PT Pelindo Marine Service (Pelindo Marine) won the Silver Winner award in the Best Social Impact Campaign category at the 2026 Indonesia Digital Media Awards (IDMA) event held by the Press Company Union (SPS) at the East Kalimantan Youth and Sports Agency (Dispora) Building, Samarinda on Friday, November 6, 2026.
The award was given for the company's communication performance in carrying out social campaigns that have an impact on the surrounding community.
Corporate Communications and Stakeholder Relations Manager of PT Pelindo Marine Service, Luqman Firmansyah, who was present at the awards night, said that the award was an appreciation for the company's 'Kenjeran Wani' communication program , a social campaign that encourages changes in community behavior in Kenjeran, East Java to care for the environment around the river.
"Wani means brave in Javanese. In the coastal areas of Surabaya, specifically in the Kenjeran District, we encourage residents living along the riverbanks to adopt more environmentally friendly practices. These include waste management, utilizing effluent from wastewater treatment facilities (IPAL), and introducing the use of fire extinguishers (APAR) as a mitigation measure for residential environmental risks," Luqman explained. "Most marine waste comes from land via rivers. Together with the residents of Kenjeran, we are campaigning for waste and sewage management as an effort to maintain environmental and marine sustainability," he added.
The Press Company Union (SPS) Awards coincided with the 80th anniversary of the SPS, with the theme "The Press Advancing with the Nation Towards the Capital of the Archipelago." SPS Chairman Januar P. Ruswita opened the awards ceremony and expressed his appreciation to media outlets, corporations, regional governments, and institutions. "Through the 2026 SPS Awards, we want to recognize the best ideas and recognize corporations, regional leaders, and institutions that have supported the sustainability of the industry and the advancement of the national press ecosystem," Januar stated.
The SPS Awards are the pinnacle of recognition for high-quality national press and media practices. Prof. Dr. Ibnu Hamad, a mass communications expert and judge at the 2026 SPS Awards, provided feedback to SPS Awards participants encouraging them to continue their work. "We appreciate every good and excellent work submitted. Continue to produce quality work for the Indonesian press," Ibnu explained.
