Theme Description
Integrity in Actions: Building Trust and Sustainable Value
Entering 2025, PTVI encountered a critical stress test of its resilience, driven by operational challenges, including the oil pipeline leakage, alongside ongoing market volatility and evolving regulatory expectations. These dynamics required not only disciplined execution, but also a reassessment of how we operate, prioritize, and manage risks in an increasingly complex environment.
The theme "Integrity in Action: Building Trust and Sustainable Value" reflects how PTVI responds to these conditions, not only by maintaining performance but also by reinforcing how integrity is translated into concrete actions across the organization. The challenges encountered during the year served as a wake-up call to address complacency risks and strengthen agility, accountability, and continuous improvement across all levels.
During the year, PTVI experienced notable changes in leadership and governance, including the appointment of a new CEO, changes within the Board of Commissioners, and organizational restructuring. These developments contributed to strengthening decision-making processes, enhancing oversight, and improving alignment between strategy, operations, and sustainability commitments.
At the same time, PTVI placed greater emphasis on transparent communication and active stakeholder engagement, particularly in responding to operational challenges, including the oil pipeline leakage. During the year, we intensified
engagement with affected communities, regulators, and other stakeholders to ensure timely information sharing, address concerns, and support response and recovery efforts. These actions reflect our commitment to building trust through openness, accountability, and consistent engagement.
As we move forward, the lessons learned and improvements made throughout the year strengthen our foundation for building a more resilient organization. Integrity continues to guide how we respond, strengthen governance, and engage openly with stakeholders. Through a year of challenges, we reinforced that integrity in action remains essential to building trust and sustaining long-term value.
CEO Message
Dear Esteemed Stakeholders,
The acceleration of the global energy transition continues to reshape the economic and industrial landscape. Indonesia plays a central role in this shift, as the world's largest nickel reserve holder and a major producer. Through its down streaming policy, the country is strengthening domestic value creation and supporting the low-carbon transition.
At the same time, rapid expansion has contributed to oversupply and price pressure, reminding us that growth must be balanced with responsibility.
Within this context, PTVI continues to navigate industry headwinds while strengthening operational resilience. In conditions that are not always ideal, we remain committed to ensuring that our decisions are aligned with sustainability principles and our responsibilities to society and the environment.
This year, we were confronted with a significant challenge when an oil pipeline leak occurred on 23 August 2025 in Lioka Village, Towuti District, East Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi, releasing fuel oil into surounding waterways and farmland. This was a serious incident, and I want to speak to it directly and honestly.
I am sorry to the farmers who saw their rice fields flooded with oil. I am sorry to the families in Lioka, Langkea Raya, Baruga, Matompi, Wawondula, and Timampu who faced days of uncertainty about their water, their land, and their livelihoods. And I am sorry that, despite the best standards we strive to uphold, we were not able to prevent this from happening in the first place.
I travelled to Towuti in the days immediately following the incident. Seeing the affected areas directly, and speaking with residents face to face, only reinforced what I already knew: behind every statistic is a family's livelihood, a farmer's harvest, a community's trust.
From the outset, we committed to three things: to stop the spread as quickly as possible, to be fully transparent about what happened and what we were doing, and to stay - for as long as it takes - until Towuti is genuinely restored. Our teams worked around the clock to isolate the leak source and contain the flow. We established a Complaint and Information Centre so that affected residents could reach us directly. We engaged independent scientific experts from IPB, UNHAS, Sucofindo, and the University of Indonesia's Disaster Risk Reduction Centre to ensure our environmental assessments were credible and our recovery actions evidence-based.
We are finalising a full evaluation and strengthening of our pipeline systems so that a similar incident does not happen again. The process of environmental rehabilitation and community compensation has advanced significantly and is ongoing, with regular updates posted on our website. We will not consider this chapter closed until the community does.
This experience reinforced the importance of responding with urgency, transparency, and genuine care for the people and environment affected. It also strengthened our resolve to continuously improve how we operate, manage risks, and build long-term resilience as a company. I am grateful for the spirit of solidarity that emerged from this difficult time. Local residents, government officials, and community volunteers
Bernardus Irmanto
CEO and President Director
"Sustainability is not a linear path. It is a continuous process of improvement, reflection, and renewal."
joined our teams in the field every single day. That spirit of gotong royong sustained all of us. It is also the standard we must continue to earn.
For us, responsibility goes beyond operational performance. It is reflected in how we strengthen our operations, support livelihoods, safeguard ecosystems, and create long-term value for Indonesia.
Through this Sustainability Report, we share both our achievements and the lessons we have learned as part of our commitment to continuous improvement and accountability.
Operational Performance and Strategic Projects Throughout 2025, PTVI maintained solid operational performance amid a challenging market environment. At Sorowako, nickel matte production reached 72,027 metric tonnes, an increase of 1.00% compared to the previous year, while sales volume rose by 0.64% to 73,093 metric tonnes. Despite higher volumes, operating revenue from Sorowako declined by 6.5% to US$888.6 million, reflecting softer nickel prices during the year. Nevertheless, we continued to strengthen cost discipline and operational efficiency, with nickel matte production costs increasing only marginally by 0.85%, from US$9,479 per metric tonne in 2024 to US$9,560 per metric tonne in 2025.
Beyond Sorowako, we began to see initial revenue contributions from our growth projects. Indonesia Growth Project (IGP) Morowali generated operating revenue of US$91,517 thousand, while IGP Pomalaa contributed US$10,095 thousand in 2025. These contributions helped lift total operating revenue by 4.19% to US$990,195 thousand, despite the decline in Sorowako revenue, marking an important milestone in diversifying our revenue base.
Overall, we recorded total operating revenue of US$990,195 thousand, representing an increase of 4.19% compared to the previous year. This performance was accompanied by a significant improvement in profitability, with profit for the year increasing by 31.68% to US$76,063 thousand, supported by stronger efficiency and disciplined cost management across our operations.
These results reflect more than financial outcomes alone. They demonstrate the collective discipline of our teams in maintaining operational reliability, efficiency, and continuity despite continued price pressure in the nickel market. Amid fluctuating conditions, we remained focused on preserving resilience while laying the groundwork for long-term growth. At the same time, our strategic projects continued to advance, reinforcing our long-term growth pathway. Together, these projects strengthen the link between our upstream and downstream operations.
In Sorowako, the Limonite Ore Project is expected to start in mid-2027. Meanwhile, the Pomalaa HPAL Project is also expected to commission in early 2027, with major infrastructure already in place and construction advancing steadily. As one of our most advanced downstream developments, this project represents a key step in strengthening our processing capacity and supporting Indonesia's nickel downstreaming agenda.
The Sambalagi HPAL Project in Bahodopi is also showing encouraging progress, with construction continuing to advance and strong confidence that the project will be delivered on time, on cost, and with the required quality.
In Morowali, we reached an important milestone as mining activities progressed significantly toward operational readiness, while initial saprolite deliveries have commenced.
In parallel, construction of the HPAL facility continues to progress toward its targeted completion in 2027.
Together, these projects expand our production capacity while strengthening our downstream integration, in line with our commitment to a more sustainable, lower-carbon future.
Strengthening Governance and ESG Performance
PTVI continued to strengthen governance and ESG performance as a foundation for long-term value creation. We recorded an improved Sustainalytics ESG Risk Rating of 23.7, representing a 19.4% risk score reduction from the previous year, while our ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard (ACGS) performance increased 0.86%, reaching 99.53 in 2025 compared to 2023 performance.
This improvement reflects stronger alignment with regional best practices in transparency, accountability, and shareholder rights, reinforcing stakeholder confidence in our governance framework. We see this progress not merely as improved scores, but as a reflection of stronger discipline in how we govern our business and integrate sustainability into decision-making. We also strengthened governance through clearer policies, stronger oversight, and closer integration of ESG into business decisions.
To ensure that these commitments are translated into measurable practices on the ground, our Sustainability Roadmap is being recalibrated to ensure that targets remain measurable, realistic, and aligned with our long-term direction as we navigate both internal transformation and growth, as well as evolving global standards. Sustainability is not managed as a separate agenda. It is increasingly embedded within risk management, capital allocation, and performance evaluation processes across the organization.
Environmental Performance
During the reporting year, we continued to improve our environmental performance while maintaining operational continuity in a challenging environment. In Sorowako, we recorded an increment by 1.15% in absolute greenhouse gas for the scope 1 and 2 emission, and 0.15% increase in emissions intensity compared from the previous year. On the other hand, our renewable energy use increased by 0.28% from the previous year. This progress was supported by a shift in biodiesel with 40% mix of biological oil (B40), with source of renewable energy contributing to around 30% of total energy consumption in Sorowako and reaching 74% in IGP Pomalaa and 78% in IGP Morowali. The composition of renewable energy is higher at growth project as they only operate in mining activity, relying primarily on biodiesel, where in Sorowako operation, the ore drying process to produce nickel matte still dependant on coal.
For our Sorowako operation, we are targeting a 33% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030, compared to our 2017 baseline. In 2025, total emissions at Sorowako were recorded at 2,074,623 tonnes of CO, equivalent (CO,e), keeping us on track toward our 2030 target. Emissions levels are expected to remain relatively stable in the near term, as several key decarbonization initiatives are scheduled for implementation starting from 2027 onwards. These initiatives include heat recovery systems, ore dewatering improvements, and increased electrification of operations. Together, those initiatives are expected to reduce GHG emissions and support our transition to lower-carbon operations.
In Sorowako operation, we also recorded a 5.5% reduction in SO, emissions and a 26.4% decrease in particulate emissions, indicating better control over air quality impacts from our operations.
In land management, we carried out post-mining reclamation covering 156.67 hectares in Sorowako and 1.42 hectares in IGP Morowali, while rehabilitating watershed outside of the concession area with the total area of 17,877 hectares. In addition, all water treatment and monitoring points remained fully compliant with applicable regulatory standards.
We also continue our resource efficiency program through the reuse of operational by-products. In 2025, more than 5 million tons of slag and nearly 1 million tons of other by-product were reused for internal construction purposes, helping to reduce landfilling and release of pollutant to the environment.
We recognise that environmental performance may fluctuate in line with operational dynamics. However, our direction remains clear: to reduce emissions, improve efficiency, and move forward in a disciplined and measurable way toward responsible mining operation.
People, Safety, and Community Impacts
Our employees and contractors are the foundation of our success. We ensure that every individual is treated fairly, safely, and with dignity, in line with the human rights principles we uphold. As of the end of 2025, PTVI employed 2,985 people, with 83.3% being local employees from East Luwu, Morowali, and Kolaka. Women represented 12.09% of the workforce across all of our sites. In addition, from the total managerial position of 761, female occupies 17.21% of the population.
Safety is a non-negotiable priority. In 2025, we recorded zero work-related fatalities, reflecting our continued commitment to protecting the health and safety of everyone working at our sites. Throughout the year, a total of 17,947 employees and contractors received medical check-ups as part of our
ongoing efforts to promote health, early detection, and overall well-being, surpassing our plan. These programs are complemented by regular safety training, risk assessments, and awareness initiatives to ensure that all workers are equipped to perform their jobs safely.
We also continue to strengthen workforce readiness through capability development, delivering more than 70,000 training hours throughout the year. These efforts support both individual growth and organizational readiness in a changing environment.
Beyond our operations, our community development and empowerment investment reached US$4.73 million in 2025, an increase of approximately 18.35% compared to the previous year. These programs focus on education, local economic development, infrastructure, and access to essential services across our operational areas.
Through these efforts, we continue to build relationships grounded in trust, openness, and long-term responsibility.
Appreciation and Looking Ahead
I extend my sincere appreciation to our employees, business partners, government stakeholders, shareholders, and communities for their continued trust and collaboration. The resilience we demonstrated this year was the result of collective effort, shared responsibility, and a common commitment to long-term value creation.
As we look ahead, we recognize that the operating environment will continue to evolve, shaped by market uncertainty and the accelerating energy transition. In navigating this landscape, or focus will remain on disciplined execution, responsible growth, and measurable progress in sustainability and ESG performance.
Integrity will continue to guide how we lead, allocate capital, manage risk, and create lasting value for our stakeholders. The lessons we learned this year, particularly from the challenges we faced, will continue to shape how we move forward.

15 Sustainability Report 2025
Message from the Board of Commissioners
2025 was a defining year for PTVI, testing not only our operational resilience but also the strength of our governance framework and the discipline behind our strategic decision-making.
We operated amid continued market volatility, evolving regulatory developments, and rising expectations regarding environmental and social responsibility. In this context, governance is not merely a formal structure-it is the foundation that ensures discipline in decision-making, strengthens accountability, and safeguards long-term value. Throughout the year, PTVI underwent significant structural and strategic developments. Organizational changes, the advancement of strategic projects, and the strengthening of sustainability oversight required greater clarity in roles and stronger accountability. During periods of change, careful supervision becomes increasingly critical. The role of the Board of Commissioners is to ensure that all decisions remain aligned with PTVI's values, risk appetite, and long-term direction.
The year also marked an important phase of leadership renewal, with the appointment of a new President Commissioner and a new President Director and Chief Executive Officer, alongside other changes in the composition of both the Board of Commissioners and the Board of Directors.
alongside a deep understanding of Indonesia's regulatory and stakeholder landscape.
The 2025 composition of the Board of Commissioners also reflects greater diversity of perspectives, with women representing 50% of its members. Inclusive leadership at the highest level signals the Company's values and direction, and we remain committed to strengthening diversity within PTVI's governance structures.
On sustainability and ESG matters, the Board of Commissioners is well-positioned to provide effective oversight, with expertise spanning ESG strategy, stakeholder engagement, human rights, and the implementation of international standards alongside Indonesia's national agenda on energy transition and sustainable investment.
Overall, the Board of Commissioners provides a strong foundation for overseeing the Company's ESG commitments, ensuring that sustainability remains a core part of PTVI's long-term strategy.

Company Profile and Main Business Activities[GRI 2-6] [POJK51-C.4]
Our company marked its presence in Indonesia in 1968 with the establishment of PT International Nickel Indonesia (INCO), before adopting the name PT Vale Indonesia Tbk in 2011. We have since grown into one of Indonesia's leading processed nickel producers, contributing to the nation's down streaming efforts long before they became a national agenda, with more than half a century of experience since commencing processing plants in 1977. PTVI has also built a lasting legacy from the very beginning as a pioneer of renewable energy-based processing within the national nickel industry, relying on hydroelectric power plants as its primary energy source at our Sorowako mine. Over the decades, we have continued to advance responsible and sustainable production, efforts that we are proud to highlight throughout this report.
Our operations have been carried out under the trust granted by the Government of Indonesia through a Contract of Work (CoW) with a 30-year concession period since the commencement of our operations. The contract was extended in 1996 and subsequently transitioned into a Special Mining Business License (Izin Usaha Pertambangan Khusus, or IUPK) in 2025, valid through 2035 with the possibility of further extension. In parallel with this regulatory transition, we are progressing the development of our Indonesia Growth Project (IGP), IGP Pomalaa,IGP Morowali, and Sorowako Limonite projects. The IGP projects are at an early stage of mine development.
Several business activities remain consistent with last year, namely mining nickel ore, processing the ore into nickel in matte, and selling the produced nickel matte. Accordingly, our main product is nickel matte, which is supplied to Vale Canada Limited (VCL) and Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd. (SMM). In
addition to these core operations, PTVI also engages in supporting activities such as transportation, electricity procurement, real estate management, wastewater treatment, waste management and recycling, as well as remediation activities.[GRI 2-6] [POJK51-C.4]
