Titan Infra Sejahtera's Commitment to CSR and Regulatory Compliance for Infrastructure Sustainability

For PT Titan Infra Sejahtera, through its subsidiary PT Servo Lintas Raya, CSR is not merely an obligation but an integral part of its sustainability strategy. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a cornerstone of modern business operations, particularly in the mining sector, which directly interacts with communities and the environment. In implementing community empowerment programs and adhering to regulations, the company underscores its commitment to contributing to socio-economic development while ensuring business operations align with legal and sustainability principles.

Regulatory Compliance

As a mining company, PT Servo Lintas Raya recognizes that business operations must go hand-in-hand with compliance with government regulations. Yayan Suhendri, Head of Government Relations at PT Servo Lintas Raya, emphasizes that legal compliance is a top priority, particularly in executing the Community Empowerment and Development Program (PPM).

The legal framework for the PPM program is based on several key regulations:

• Law No. 40 of 2007 on Limited Liability Companies, which mandates corporations to fulfill social and environmental responsibilities.
• Government Regulation No. 47 of 2012 on Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL), which strengthens the framework for CSR implementation.
• Law No. 3 of 2020 (amending Law No. 4 of 2009), which comprehensively regulates mining activities, including community empowerment.
• Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Decree No. 1824/K/30/MEM/2018, requiring mining companies to develop a Master Plan for PPM as a strategic guideline.

“We always adhere to all government regulations,” Yayan asserts. This compliance not only ensures operational legality but also builds trust with stakeholders, including communities and local governments.

PPM Program: Tangible Contributions to Local Communities

PT Servo Lintas Raya’s PPM program is designed to address the needs of communities near mining areas. Through participatory approaches, the company identifies development priorities aligned with residents’ aspirations. Key initiatives include:

1. Basic Infrastructure Development

The company renovates village infrastructure, such as village offices, water reservoirs, and wells. These facilities improve quality of life and strengthen institutional capacity at the village level.

2. Enhancing Worship and Social Facilities

PT Servo Lintas Raya renovates mosques and constructs footpaths to improve access to places of worship, reflecting respect for community values.

3. Support for Agriculture and Healthcare

Fertilizer assistance for farmers and free medical programs demonstrate the company’s commitment to vital community sectors. Staple food and rice distribution further alleviates economic burdens for underprivileged residents.

“These initiatives will be ongoing and regularly reported to local governments,” Yayan explains, highlighting the importance of transparency and accountability.

Economic Impact and Multiplier Effect

PT Servo Lintas Raya’s presence has not only driven social progress but also spurred local economic growth. Since the hauling route began operations, community participation in economic activities has risen significantly. Yayan notes a visible multiplier effect, evident in the growth of small businesses and increased employment opportunities.

Economic Empowerment through Training and MSMEs

Small Business Training: Locals receive training to manage food stalls and welding workshops, creating new livelihoods.

Rental Business Development: Accommodation for hauling workers generates additional income for landowners.

MSME Support: Mentoring and market access help micro-enterprises expand, absorbing more local labor.

Local Workforce Absorption

Most of PT Servo Lintas Raya’s workforce is sourced from nearby areas. The company provides jobs not only in operational roles but also in technical positions requiring specialized skills, enhancing local human resource capacity.

Challenges and Continuous Improvement

Despite progress, Yayan acknowledges that meeting all community expectations remains challenging. “We cannot accommodate everyone,” he states. Budget constraints and the complexity of community needs pose ongoing hurdles. However, PT Servo Lintas Raya remains committed to innovation, such as strengthening collaborations with governments and NGOs to design targeted programs.

CSR and Compliance An Investment in the Future

For PT Titan Infra Sejahtera, integrating CSR with regulatory compliance is not a cost but a long-term investment. Compliance mitigates legal and social risks, while inclusive PPM programs foster harmonious community relations.

This sustainability ethos aligns with parent company Titan Infra Energy’s vision, which places social and environmental responsibility at the core of its corporate values.

Through PT Servo Lintas Raya, PT Titan Infra Sejahtera demonstrates that regulatory compliance and effective CSR can coexist. With a structured and transparent PPM program, the company not only fulfills legal obligations but also creates lasting positive impacts. In the dynamic mining industry, this approach exemplifies how businesses can drive development while upholding legality and ethics.

In closing, Yayan affirms, “Our commitment does not end here. We will continue to listen to community aspirations and adapt to regulatory changes to ensure our contributions remain relevant and far-reaching.”
