PTPN I has officially established five main pillars as the strategic foundation for transforming the company into an international-scale agribusiness corporation. These five pillars include the implementation of Good Corporate Governance (GCG), strengthening risk management, management digitalization, optimization of state assets, and strengthening institutional synergy.
President Director of PTPN I, Abdul Rivai Ras, emphasized that the implementation of transparent and accountable GCG is an absolute foundation for gaining stakeholder trust. In addition, the integration of the Directorate of Finance and Risk Management was carried out as a mitigation step against global market uncertainties, commodity price fluctuations, and the strict standards of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles.
In terms of technology, the company is committed to carrying out a comprehensive digital transformation. Digitalization is not limited to the use of software, but also includes a change in work culture that prioritizes data-driven decision-making, efficiency, and the implementation of *smart farming* technology to significantly increase productivity.
The asset optimization pillar is aimed at delivering maximum economic impact, not only for the company but also through the creation of inclusive jobs for communities in operational areas. Rivai emphasized that the plantation industry holds a strategic position as a provider of labor-intensive key raw materials capable of driving the national economy equitably.
In closing, Rivai invited all elements, from government, academia, to business actors, to work in synergy to oversee this transformation. With solid collaboration, management modernization, and professionalism, PTPN I is optimistic about becoming the driving force of a resilient and globally competitive national plantation industry in the future.
