MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT COMMISSIONER

​

“We view positively the Telkom Group’s sustainability performance which has consistently experienced development, as evidenced by various awards and achievements in environmental, social, and governance aspects.”

​

Esteemed stakeholders,

​

We begin by expressing gratitude to God Almighty for Telkom's ability to sustain its performance and strengthen its foundation for long-term business growth throughout 2024. This year presented various challenges, including macroeconomic conditions, competitive dynamics, technological advancements, and sustainability issues. Recognizing the increasing relevance of sustainability to the telecommunications industry, Telkom has made significant efforts to enhance both operational and financial performance, thereby generating positive impacts and long-term value for all stakeholders.

​

Throughout 2024, we have observed the Board of Directors take concrete steps in reinforcing sustainability strategies and initiatives across the Telkom Group. The leadership of the Board of Directors, supported by all subsidiaries, has effectively synchronized sustainability initiatives across the organization. In 2024, Telkom established the Telkom Group Sustainability Strategy and 2030 Targets as a strategic roadmap to integrate sustainability measures across environmental, social, and governance dimensions.

​

Telkom has also demonstrated its commitment to transparency and accountability by engaging an independent external party, TUV Rheinland Indonesia, to conduct external assurance on the 2024 Sustainability Report. This step reinforces the company's dedication to enhancing the quality and credibility of its sustainability disclosures.

​

The Telkom Group's sustainability performance has shown continuous improvement, as evidenced by various achievements in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) aspects. Notably, Telkom has received multiple awards, including Outstanding Leadership in Sustainability (CNBC Indonesia), first place in MSEs and SOE House Development (BCOMSS Ministry of SOEs), Integrated Sustainability Initiatives – Education, Decent Work and Technology (IDX Channel), Gender-Inclusive Workplace (UN Indonesia WEPs), and Best Companies to Work for and Sustainable Workplace (HR Asia). Additionally, Telkom's ESG ratings have improved, with its Sustainalytics rating advancing from 27.1 to 25.6 (Medium Risk), its ESG rating from BPKP increasing from 74.02 (Fair) to 91.23 (Very Good) and earned a B rating from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) for climate change readiness. This achievement continues to encourage Telkom’s spirit and consistency in improving sustainability performance, not only focusing on increasing the number of awards and rating numbers but more importantly, on enhancing the quality of company management that impacts all aspects of sustainability.

​

As part of improving the quality of the company's management, we note that Telkom needs to continue to mitigate global risks and challenges that have the potential to disrupt Telkom Group's business and service operations, including cybersecurity risks, extreme weather, and disasters due to climate change, as well as the quality of human resources in line with the Company's digital transformation. The development of products and equitable distribution of telecommunication services through the use of technology and innovation needs to be carried out by prioritizing aspects of usefulness and responsibility, while still taking into account the investment value and reasonable price so that Telkom can maintain its sustainability in the long term. In facing these challenges, it is essential to be supported by a strong governance foundation so that every strategic and operational step taken not only drives business growth but also contributes to long-term sustainability and value creation for all Telkom Group stakeholders. Strengthening governance entails enforcing discipline, including in the areas of rewards and sanctions, reinforcing integrity and ethics, and fostering a corporate culture that supports governance principles.

​

Finally, on behalf of the Board of Commissioners, I extend my gratitude for the support in implementing sustainability practices in the Telkom Group and hope to strengthen collaboration and synergy to continue the partnership and realize a sustainable future. In addition, as part of our gratitude, we would like to thank the Board of Directors, partners, and all Telkom stakeholders for their contributions in realizing sustainable growth.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT DIRECTOR

​

“Telkom’s commitment is demonstrated through strategic actions undertaken in in 2024, where the company has achieved several key milestones in its sustainability journey.”

​

Esteemed stakeholders,

​

In recent years, the global telecommunications industry has been faced with various sustainability opportunities and challenges, including increasing demand for digital services, artificial intelligence-based innovation opportunities, and increasingly real impacts of climate change. Amid this dynamic, Telkom remains committed to realizing sustainable business growth and creating added value for all stakeholders.

​

Telkom's commitment is demonstrated through strategic actions undertaken in 2024, where the company has achieved several key milestones in our sustainability journey. An independent external party has been appointed to assure the 2024 Sustainability Report, which has been declared compliant with AA1000AP and AA1000AS v3 standards, and follows the reporting requirements referenced in the 2021 GRI. Telkom has made notable improvements in its ESG ratings from several agencies, including a Sustainalytics ESG score of 25.6 (Medium Risk), a BPKP ESG score of 91.23 (Very Good), an ACGS score of 103.31 (Leadership in Corporate Governance), and a CDP climate category rating of B.

​

Telkom also updated its sustainability targets and strategies that highlight the GoZero% program as a form of our seriousness to make sustainable improvements and respond to the inputs and expectations of key stakeholders. Telkom's sustainability strategy is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals and includes three main pillars of sustainability.

​

The Save Our Planet pillar reflects Telkom's commitment to reducing the environmental impacts of business operations, particularly in areas that have a significant impact, such as emissions and waste management. In 2024, Telkom Group initiated the calculation of emissions for all scopes (scopes 1,2, and 3), where scope 3 covers 9 categories, and has set 2023 as the base year in determining the emission reduction target. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were calculated using the GHG Protocol standard, and verification of scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions was verified by an independent party using the ISO 14064-1:2018 standard. This initiative aims to enhance the confidence and credibility of the GHG emissions as a basis for determining the strategy to achieve Net Zero 2060 and preparation to fulfill IFRS S2 standards. The total GHG emissions of Telkom Group scopes 1, 2, and 3 is 2,417,474 tonnes of CO₂e, with 84% of emissions coming from scope 2. Scope 2 emissions rose by 2.8% due to the expansion of Telkomsel's BTS infrastructure, while scope 1 emissions decreased by 2% as a result of reduced operational vehicle use, and scope 3 emissions decreased by 8.1% owing to capital expenditure efficiency initiatives. In terms of energy management, Telkom Group has incorporated renewable energy sources, including solar PV and microhydro, into its energy mix. The Group also utilizes Electric Vehicles (EVs) for operational purposes and pursues energy efficiency through procurement and upgrades of environmentally friendly equipment.

​

In addition, Telkom Group managed to reduce the total office waste generated by 6,387 tonnes and divert as much as 176,046 kg or 80% of fiber optic cable waste from disposal. The diverted fiber optic waste can be reused to support customer service. Telkom Group has also strengthened its biodiversity conservation efforts and enhanced the carrying capacity of ecosystems through mangrove planting, forest revegetation, and coral reef transplantation.

​

The Empower Our People pillar signifies Telkom Group's dedication to empowering employees, customers, and the community through the creation of an inclusive digital ecosystem as the foundation for capability development and sustainable innovation. Throughout 2024, 22% of managerial positions in Telkom Group are filled by female employees, supported by initiatives at Telkom that promote gender equality in the work environment. For digital skills development, the Digital Talent program has upskilled 20.6% of Telkom's digital talents through Telkom Athon and various other digital trainings. Telkom also prioritizes occupational safety by implementing an occupational health and safety management system aligned with international standards, such as ISO 45001, while ensuring compliance with applicable national regulations.

​

Table of Content

From a customer perspective, Telkom Group is focused on enhancing service quality by prioritizing customer satisfaction. This is evidenced by an increase in the Net Promoter Score (NPS) to 58 points from the previous year, placing the company in the "Excellent" category based on Bain & Company’s evaluation. This improvement is driven by enhanced service quality and more attractive promotional strategies. Telkom Group continues to play an active role in expanding digital access across Indonesia while accelerating infrastructure development and network expansion to reach all regions. Our infrastructure covers more than 98% of Indonesia’s population and supports access to data (internet) services in underdeveloped, remote, frontier areas, and border regions. Finally, from a social standpoint, Telkom is committed to empowering Small and Micro Enterprises (SMEs) through initiatives such as the Go Modern, Go Digital, Go Online, and Go Global programs. Telkom has provided support to 21,500 MSEs, and in 2024, a total of 2,298 mentored MSEs, or 10.64%, as indicated by increases in turnover, employee numbers, and assets.

​

The Elevate Our Business pillar reflects Telkom's commitment to conducting ethical and responsible business practices, particularly concerning data privacy in the face of cybersecurity threats. Throughout 2024, Telkom complied with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Telkom enforces strict measures against any legal violations, cooperates with legal processes, and implements preventive actions to ensure 100% compliance. All complaints received through the whistleblowing system are addressed promptly, reinforcing Telkom's culture of ethical conduct and respect in alignment with corporate values, which embody the core values of AKHLAK. We ensure compliance with regulations and internal policies related to cybersecurity and data privacy through Telkom Group’s Data Protection Governance. Telkom has implemented policies related to data privacy protection and information security, including the establishment of a Data Protection sub-department and the appointment of a Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for ensuring the protection of personal data and information security across Telkom Group. In terms of data security, there have been no significant data breaches, and all data processing activities have been carried out following established policies. This achievement underscores Telkom's dedication to strong governance, reinforcing trust, fostering innovation, and contributing to Indonesia’s digital future in a sustainable manner.

​

Telkom actively identifies and manages sustainability risks that could affect the company. In addition, Telkom will continue to innovate to unlock and optimize new strategic sustainability opportunities. The integration of sustainability across all business lines is progressing in alignment with the Company's digital transformation. This fundamental step is further supported by synergies among sustainability initiatives within Telkom Group to ensure the attainment of Telkom Group’s 2030 sustainability goals.

​

We extend our gratitude to all stakeholders for their continued support in the implementation of sustainability practices. We are confident that Telkom will continue to innovate amidst the challenges and opportunities of the digital era, ensuring its sustained growth as the digital telco of choice for the public.

SUSTAINABILITY GOVERNANCE

​

Telkom recognizes that robust governance is the cornerstone for achieving Telkom Group’s sustainability objectives. Telkom implements Good Corporate Governance principles through effective oversight and a structured management framework, ensuring the comprehensive execution of sustainability strategies and initiatives within the Telkom Group.

​

Telkom’s governance structure comprises the main governing bodies: the General Meeting of Shareholders (GMS), the Board of Commissioners, and the Board of Directors. The Board of Commissioners and the Board of Directors are supported by several committees and working groups, including the Corporate Secretary, Internal Audit Department, Audit Committee, Committee for Nomination and Remuneration, and Committee for Planning and Risk Evaluation and Monitoring. Further details regarding the roles and responsibilities of these governance bodies are available in Telkom’s 2024 Annual Report.

​

In 2024, Telkom enhanced its sustainability governance framework by formalizing the roles and responsibilities of the Board of Commissioners and Board of Directors regarding sustainability matters, including climate change. Furthermore, Telkom established a Sustainability Committee responsible for managing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) aspects within the Telkom Group. [GRI 2-11]

​

The Sustainability Committee is tasked with overseeing strategy implementation, monitoring progress toward sustainability targets, managing ESG-related risks and opportunities, and ensuring transparent sustainability disclosures to stakeholders. The committee is chaired by the President Director and consists of directors overseeing risk management, network and IT, and human capital, supported by an ESG working group comprising heads of relevant work units. [GRI 2-12] [GRI 2-13] [GRI 2-14]

​

To fulfill its duties, the Sustainability Committee collaborates with other committees under the Board of Commissioners and the Board of Directors. These include the Social and Environmental Responsibility Management Committee (TJSL), the Risk, Compliance, and Revenue Assurance Management Committee, the Audit Management Committee, the Integrated Governance Management Committee, Committee for Nomination and Remuneration Management, and Committee for Planning and Risk Evaluation and Monitoring. The Sustainability Committee regularly receive updates on ESG implementation from the sustainability management work unit. [POJK. E-1] [GRI 2-16]

​

​

​

​

​

Table of Content

In addition, Telkom has restructured its ESG management framework by establishing the Group Sustainability & Corporate Communication Department, led by the Senior Vice President (SVP) of Group Sustainability & Corporate Communication, who reports directly to the President Director. This department oversees the Sustainability Management Work Unit, specifically the Sustainability Sub-Department, which is responsible for orchestrating and managing ESG initiatives across the Telkom Group. This includes coordinating ESG strategies and reporting.

​

Figure 2. Organizational Structure of the Sustainability Sub-Department at Telkom

​

Telkom adopts a decentralized approach that enables subsidiaries to independently develop and implement sustainability initiatives while maintaining alignment with the strategic direction set by the Sustainability Sub-Department. The organizational transformation undertaken in 2024 is expected to strengthen governance, coordination, and the synergy of sustainability initiatives within the Telkom Group while improving engagement with external stakeholders.

​

Recognizing that the successful execution of sustainability strategies and the achievement of sustainability targets require robust internal ESG capabilities, Telkom is committed to enhancing the expertise of the Board of Commissioners, Board of Directors, and ESG management teams. This is accomplished through a series of training programs covering sustainability, climate change risk management, and evolving disclosure standards such as IFRS S1 and S2. Detailed information on training programs for the Board of Commissioners and Board of Directors is available in Telkom’s 2024 Annual Report. Meanwhile, details on employee competency development programs are outlined in the Empower Our People section. [POJK. E-2] [GRI 2-17]

COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS

​

Telkom is committed to fostering a corporate culture that values diversity, which is reflected in the composition of its Board of Commissioners and Board of Directors. Telkom believes that diverse backgrounds within leadership contribute to broader perspectives and drive innovation, supporting the company's long-term sustainable growth.

ELECTION AND APPOINTMENT PROCESS OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS

​

The appointment process for the Board of Commissioners and Board of Directors at Telkom adheres to the principles of human rights, non-discrimination, and equality. The selection of Board of Commissioners members considers integrity, dedication, comprehension of corporate management, industry expertise, availability to perform duties, and regulatory requirements. Appointments are finalized through the General Meeting of Shareholders (GMS). Similarly, the selection and appointment of the Board of Directors are conducted through the GMS, based on the competencies, expertise, and background required by the Company. Prospective members must meet the established criteria and undergo a fit and proper test. [GRI 2-10]

​

​

CONFLICT OF INTEREST

​

All corporate governance bodies are committed to maintaining integrity and preventing conflicts of interest in the execution of their duties. The Work Procedures Guidelines for the Board of Commissioners and Board of Directors (Board Manual) explicitly regulate conflicts of interest as part of ethical governance. Board members who encounter a conflict of interest must disclose their circumstances and recuse themselves from the relevant decision-making process.

​

All members of Telkom's Board of Commissioners and Board of Directors do not hold any financial or familial affiliations with other members or Controlling Shareholders. Throughout the reporting period, no conflicts of interest were identified regarding share ownership in suppliers or transactions that could result in conflicts of interest. [GRI 2-15]

​

​

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS

​

Telkom implements a self-assessment policy for evaluating the performance of the Board of Commissioners. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee (KNR) conducts the assessment based on collegial key performance indicators (KPIs), which are derived from the core responsibilities of the Board of Commissioners. These responsibilities include supervising the Company's management policies and operations executed by the Board of Directors, providing guidance, and ensuring compliance with the Company's Long-Term Plan (RJPP), Annual Work Plan and Budget (RKAP), Corporate Strategic Scenario (CSS), and applicable laws and regulations. The performance evaluation results are subsequently reported to Shareholders at the GMS.

​

Unlike the evaluation of Board of Commissioners, the Board of Directors' performance evaluation is conducted through a self-assessment by each member, measuring both individual and collegial KPI achievements. These results are reviewed annually by a Public Accounting Firm that audits Telkom’s financial statements. The achievement report is presented to the Board of Commissioners and the Ministry of SOEs. The Public Accounting Firm review encompasses the methodology and consistency of KPI assessments for the Board of Directors. In 2024, the review confirmed no inconsistencies. [GRI 2-18]

​

REMUNERATION POLICY

​

The remuneration framework for Telkom's Board of Commissioners and Board of Directors is established in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises Number PER-3/MBU/03/2023 concerning SOE Organs and Human Resources. This is further reinforced by the Board of Commissioners' Decree Number 03/KEP/DK/2024 regarding remuneration entitlements.

The remuneration components for the Board of Commissioners include:

The remuneration components for members of the Board of Directors consist of:

Figure 3. Procedure and Mechanism of Remuneration of the Board of Commissioners and Board of Directors

​

​

Table of Content

The procedure for proposing and determining the remuneration of the Board of Commissioners and the Board of Directors of Telkom is as follows:

​

In 2023, the Ministry of SOEs issued Regulation Number PER-3/MBU/03/2023 concerning SOE Organs and Human Resources (Permen 3 BUMN). Telkom has confirmed the implementation of this regulation through the GMS resolution for the 2022 financial year. One of the provisions under Permen 3 BUMN pertains to the suspension of partial payments of tantiem for the Board of Directors and Board of Commissioners.

​

Telkom also enforces a clawback policy, which mandates the recovery of incentive-based compensation from current and former Board members if the Company is required to restate financial statements submitted to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Exchange Act. This restatement is necessary to correct material errors in previously issued financial statements or to address errors that could result in material misrepresentation if not rectified in the current reporting period. The Ministry of SOEs has incorporated this policy into the tantiem framework, stipulating a three-year suspension of tantiem payments for the Board of Commissioners and Board of Directors.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

​

Telkom acknowledges that the success of its sustainability strategy is highly dependent on strong relationships with key stakeholders. This approach ensures that Telkom’s sustainability strategy and programs effectively address the most impactful issues for its primary stakeholders. Telkom actively engages with internal and external stakeholders, fosters mutually beneficial relationships, and considers their perspectives and expectations through various communication channels. [POJK. E-4] [GRI 2-29]

MATERIALITY ASSESSMENT

​

Telkom conducted a review of material topics for the 2023 financial year to assess their relevance and alignment with stakeholder expectations. This process was facilitated by independent consultants, with the 2021 GRI Standard serving as the primary reference. [GRI 3-1]

​

​

Compared to 2023, material topics for the 2024 reporting period have been adjusted to enhance focus on specific issues, with the addition of a new material topic related to employee health and safety. These updates reflect industry trends in telecommunications as well as feedback from both internal and external stakeholders. The identified material topics are categorized under the three main pillars of Telkom Group’s sustainability framework. [GRI 3-2]

​

​

​

Figure 4. Telkom's Sustainability Framework

​

While the perspectives of Telkom’s subsidiaries were considered in the materiality assessment, each subsidiary may have distinct material topics due to variations in business activities. These activities range from telecommunications network provision to infrastructure management, each with different environmental and social impacts. One of Telkom’s subsidiaries, PT Telekomunikasi Selular (Telkomsel), has conducted its own materiality assessment, identifying seven material topics categorized within its sustainability framework.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY OPPORTUNITIES

​

Holistically, Telkom’s risk management framework is aligned with ISO 31000:2018 – Risk Management: Principles and Guidelines. This framework provides guidance for identifying and managing ESG risks, an initiative that Telkom has implemented since 2023. In 2024, Telkom will conduct a comprehensive review of ESG risks, incorporating the company’s risk profile and International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) guidance for identifying sustainability risks and opportunities, as introduced in November 2024. The ISSB framework is based on four key concepts for identifying sustainability risks and opportunities.

​

Source: ISSB, 2024

​

This review is led by Telkom’s Sustainability Sub-Department in coordination with relevant work units, particularly those involved in preparing IFRS S1 and S2-based reports. The review process generates a list of sustainability risks and opportunities with potential financial impacts, along with estimated impact timelines. This list will be continuously reviewed to ensure its relevance to business development, with active involvement from Telkom’s subsidiaries. [POJK. E-3]

​

Recognizing the significance of identified risks and opportunities, Telkom has undertaken various initiatives to manage those risks. These initiatives are reflected in Telkom’s material topic programs and strategies, detailed in the relevant sections of this report. Furthermore, Telkom has implemented strategic risk mitigation measures as part of its Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework, further discussed in Telkom’s 2024 Annual Report. Telkom’s ERM system has been developed and is accessible via ermonline.telkom.co.id.

SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY

CLIMATE CHANGE AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT

​

MANAGEMENT APPROACH

​

Telkom has established a formal policy governing sustainability practices, outlined in the Board of Directors Regulation. This policy defines the sustainability governance structure and management guidelines for material topics including climate change and energy management. Telkom also complies with national environmental and climate regulations, including Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No. 14 of 2012 on Energy Management and Minister of SOEs Regulation No. PER-1/MBU/03/2023 on Special Assignments and Social and Environmental Responsibility Programs for SOEs. Furthermore, Telkom has set quantitative targets to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030 and has redefined its base year to 2023. Telkom also has developed a master plan for infrastructure development (Future State Architecture) which comprises of policies on the use of renewable energy to support emission reduction goals.

​

To track progress, Telkom has developed a GHG inventory dashboard covering the entire Telkom Group and conducted its first GHG emission verification this year. In addressing climate-related risks, Telkom collaborated with an independent party to publish the 2023 Climate Risk Report, aligning with the TCFD/IFRS S2 guidelines. The report details governance of climate-related issues, strategy, risk management, and performance metrics for measuring Telkom’s climate-related performance.

​

CLIMATE MITIGATION

​

Climate change presents a significant global challenge that demands collective action across industries. Recognizing this, Telkom Group is committed to implementing mitigation efforts with a primary focus on energy management, aligning with its emission profile, which is largely driven by electricity consumption. In 2024, Telkom Group redefined its GHG inventory base year to 2023 to enhance data coverage and ensure comprehensive reporting across all subsidiaries. Consequently, Telkom Group has also adjusted its GHG reduction targets to reflect this broader scope.

​

Emissions Inventory Management

​

Since 2020, Telkom has consistently measured Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from its operational activities. In 2024, Telkom marks a key milestone by expanding its inventory to include Scope 3 emissions to provide a more comperhensive assessment of emissions across its value chain. GHG emissions calculations conducted for Scope 1, 2, and 3 adhere to the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting & Reporting Standard, which cover Telkom, 13 directly owned subsidiaries, 29 indirectly owned subsidiaries, and 8 affiliated entities, all consolidated in Telkom’s financial statements. For this Sustainability Report, detailed emissions data is limited to Telkom and 13 direct subsidiaries, in line with the defined reporting scope.

​

Figure 7. Telkom Group's Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG Emissions

​

Figure 8. Telkom Group's Scope 3 GHG emissions FY2024 disaggregated by category

​

Table 4. Telkom Group's GHG Emissions Scope 3 FY2024 by Category

​

Telkom Group identifies pollutants from its operations within its GHG inventory, including carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), non-fossil methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O), and hydrofluorocarbons (weighted average) (HFCs). In 2024, there were no recorded cases of air pollution from Telkom Group's operations that had an environmental impact. Telkom Group’s total GHG emissions in 2024 amounted to 2,417,474 tonnes of CO₂e, covering direct Scope 1 emissions from fuel combustion, indirect Scope 2 emissions from electricity use, and Scope 3 emissions from value chain activities. A detailed explanation of the source of each emission is elaborated in Appendix 5.

​

The primary contributor of Telkom Group’s emission is coming from Scope 2 emissions, accounting for 84% (2,028,372 tonnes CO₂e) of total emissions, followed by Scope 3 at 13% (307,017 tonnes CO₂e) and Scope 1 at 3% (82,085 tonnes CO₂e). Compared to the 2023 base year, Scope 2 emissions increased by 55,460 tonnes CO₂e, primarily due to the expansion of Telkomsel BTS infrastructure by 3,531 units.

​

Conversely, Scope 3 emissions decreased by 8.1%, reaching 307,017 tonnes CO₂e, attributed to efficiency improvement in the company's capital expenditure. Telkom conducted prioritization of relevant Scope 3 categories to be disclosed based on emission significance, data availability, and industry benchmarking. This results in nine categories of Scope 3 emission sources across the value chain detailed in Table 4.  A full breakdown of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions is presented in the Environmental Performance Table.

​

Table of Content

The calculation above is also documented in the 2024 GHG Inventory Report, followed by a verification process conducted by an independent party for the first time in 2024. This process aims to ensure the completeness of the calculation and enhance data credibility and transparency. GHG emission information for each subsidiary is presented in Appendix 1.

​

To improve emissions management, Telkom is formalizing procedures and governance for its GHG inventory in 2024. The procedures and governance aim to build the foundation of structured and systematic GHG emission inventory and reporting practices. The formalization of the GHG governance in 2024 is reflected in the clear division of roles and responsibilities between parties. Data Managers are assigned at Telkom and its subsidiaries to ensure data accuracy, completeness, and quality. The coordination role with the Data Manager is carried out by the Sustainability Management Unit.

​

Decarbonize Our Operation

​

Telkom has set a 2030 decarbonization target of a 20% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions from the 2023 base year. In support of this target, Telkom aims to develop a strategy that includes key initiatives to reduce emissions from the company's operational activities. Some of these initiatives have been carried out, mainly related to energy efficiency efforts and the use of renewable energy. [POJK F.7] [POJK F.12]

​

Energy Efficiency

​

Telkom Group continues to enhance energy efficiency measures, particularly involving lighting and cooling systems in the building. In 2024, Telkom continued the energy efficiency awareness movement, also known as the Gerakan Peduli Efisiensi Energi (GePEE) initiative, introduced in 2023. This program integrates energy saving initiative (e.g., turning off unused lights and air conditioning) and the adoption of Internet of Things (e.g., smart offices). For lighting systems, Telkom maintains the use of LED lights, zoning-based lighting controls, and optimized operation schedules to balance energy savings with user comfort. Additionally, Telkom maintains several initiatives on cooling systems, including the implementation of elevator zoning in office buildings in Surabaya and Jakarta, utilization of 6mm reflective glass to reduce heat absorption, temperature regulation at 25°-27°C, and adoption of environmentally friendly refrigerants.

​

Telkom Group’s commitment to energy efficiency is reflected in its investment, with expenditures from 2022-2024 detailed in the Environmental Costs table. These investments cover the procurement and retrofitting of LED lights, energy-efficient refrigerants, batteries, and low-energy monitors.

​

​

Utilization of Renewable Energy

As part of its commitment to transitioning toward a net zero emission, Telkom Group has deployed renewable energy at BTS and public facilities. Key initiatives are outlined in the Highlight Box below.

Other initiatives

​

Telkom Group has expanded its use of electric vehicles (EVs) to support operational activities, complemented by providing EV charging station points. Currently, 17% of Telkom’s total operational vehicle fleet consists of EVs. This includes 4 EVs used for operational support and 8 EVs designated as official vehicles for Telkom’s board of directors. Furthermore, Telkom’s subsidiary, TLT as a subsidiary PT Graha Sarana Duta (Telkom Property), has incorporated 157 EVs into its fleet and installed 18 EV charging stations. By 2024, Telkom Property had also deployed 418 electric motorcycles for operational use. Other Telkom subsidiaries have installed additional EV charging stations, with Telkomsat operating 1 charging point and Telkom Property operating 14 charging points.

​

​

CLIMATE ADAPTATION

​

Telkom Group acknowledges the increasing risk of climate change and its potential impact on all business lines, including service quality for customers. In response, Telkom initiated a climate risk assessment in 2023, incorporating the identification of climate risks and opportunities, as well as climate scenario analysis, to guide adaptation strategies. The methodologies, processes, results, limitations, and assumptions are detailed in the 2023 Climate Risk Report, in alignment with the IFRS S2 disclosure framework.

​

​

​

Climate Risk Assessment

​

Identification of climate-related risks and opportunities

​

Telkom identifies climate-related risks and opportunities for two categories, namely physical and transition risks, assessed over short-term (next 5 years), medium-term (5–15 years), and long-term (beyond 15 years) horizons. The methodology for identifying these risks and opportunities is detailed in the 2023 Climate Risk Report.

Physical [R] risks:

​

Transition risks [R] and opportunities [O]:

​

Climate scenario analysis

In 2023, Telkom conducted a climate scenario analysis focusing on extreme rainfall and temperature rise to assess exposure risks to land and building assets. The analysis employed Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) scenarios SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5 from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for physical climate risks and utilized the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) Current Policy and Net Zero scenarios for transition risks. A subsequent analysis in 2024 expanded asset mapping to identify locations in disaster-prone areas, referencing the 2023 Indonesian Disaster Risk Index issued by the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB). This enhanced analysis supports Telkom prioritization of at-risk areas for adaptation measures. The results of this process are shown in the two images below.

​

​

​

​

​

Figure 10. Percentage of land and building assets exposed to extreme rainfall and temperature rise in the SSP5-8.5 scenario in 2050

​

Figures 9 and 10 show the number and distribution of land and building assets in disaster-prone locations based on BNPB that are exposed to extreme rain/floods in 2030 and 2050. The mapping of these locations serves to assist Telkom in determining priority areas in the planning and implementation of the company's adaptation efforts. The highest number of exposed assets is consistently represented by assets on Java and Sumatra, followed by Sulawesi. Going forward, Telkom will use the results of this analysis as input to strengthen its business resilience.

​

Telkom also assesses transition risks, which include 1) carbon pricing, 2) renewable energy adoption, 3) increasing energy costs, and 4) reputational impact in meeting stakeholder’s expectations. This analysis uses the NGFS Net Zero and Current Policy scenarios and aims to identify the exposure from carbon pricing enforcement, solar panel investment costs, and energy costs.

​

The findings indicate potential exposure to carbon costs of approximately Rp2.7 trillion by 2050 under the NGFS Net Zero scenario. Additionally, solar panel investment costs are projected to decrease from Rp229 billion in 2030 to Rp140 billion in 2050 due to global low-carbon transition efforts. Energy costs, including electricity and fuel, are expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 4.4–4.5% until 2050 under the same scenario. The full assessment results and methodology are available in the 2023 Climate Risk Report.

Climate adaptation measures

​

Telkom has established a strategy to enhance business resilience to climate risks, including setting key metrics and targets, with GHG emissions as a main metric which will be continuously monitored. Telkom’s target includes Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction by 20% by 2030, compared to the 2023 base year, and achieving net-zero emissions by 2060. In responding to physical risks, Telkom has implemented various mitigation measures, such as upgrading building infrastructure to improve flood resilience by incorporating climate projections into infrastructure installation and new building construction. The company also conducts regular flood risk assessments, particularly for critical assets like Automatic Telephone Centers (STO) and outdoor equipment. In addition, the company ensures optimal cooling systems in buildings to prevent overheating and equipment damage due to high temperatures, while also maintaining field worker productivity through the Finance & Asset Operation Unit.

​

Telkom has established flood disaster response guidelines and a Business Continuity Management system in place since 2010, applicable across all organizational levels. It has also formed a Crisis Management Team responsible for ensuring effective emergency response and ongoing monitoring to prevent secondary incident impacts. Telkom is also certified with ISO 22301:2019 for its Business Continuity Management System (BCMS), ensuring operational continuity and mitigation of business disruption risks. To anticipate flood risks, Telkom has also provided flood mitigation equipment and facilities, such as water pumps, particularly in areas identified as flood-prone. These measures have helped minimize the impact of past flooding events in Telkom Group, during which production tools and network equipment were secured and no casualties occurred. In cases where floods cause power outages, the affected telecommunications network remains operational through the activation of backup generators.

​

In addition to implementing disaster management systems, Telkom also considers the results of climate risk assessments when making decisions related to planning, construction, and facility upgrades. Moving forward, Telkom aims to continue taking proactive steps in climate adaptation, including building partnerships with research institutions, government agencies, and other third parties. Telkom is also committed to complying with international climate disclosure standards. In 2024, Telkom submitted a response to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) to enhance transparency in disclosing initiatives related to specific environmental topics, including climate change. Telkom received a score of B for CDP Climate and C for CDP Water.

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

​

MANAGEMENT APPROACH

​

Resource management at Telkom is governed by the Regulation of the Board of Directors on sustainability governance. This formal policy serves as a guideline for the governance of both resource management and climate change and energy management. Telkom has set a 2030 target to minimize environmental impact by diverting office and fiber optic cable waste from disposal. Telkom has conducted annual performance monitoring and evaluation through recording and responsible waste management. [GRI 3-3]

​

WASTE MANAGEMENT

​

Telkom’s core operations rely on material resources, such as communication support equipment, to ensure the seamless delivery of services to customers. In the process, these activities produce waste that requires responsible management following sustainability principles. Telkom has implemented office waste sorting through trash bin facilities spread throughout Telkom office buildings. In the future, Telkom will continue to strive to enrich its responsible waste management and documentation initiatives. [POJK F.14]

​

E-waste Management

​

One of the wastes generated by Telkom Group's operational activities is fiber optic cable waste. Telkom targets a minimum of 70% of fiber optic cable waste to be diverted from final disposal by 2030. Until 2024, it is recorded that the amount of fiber optic cable waste diverted from final disposal by TIF is 176,046 kg or 80% of the total cable waste. This figure is calculated by comparing the amount of cable waste that can and has been reused to the cable waste collected by TIF.

​

The procedure for sorting and recycling fiber optic cable waste carried out by TIF involves cooperation with third parties. The Partners involved include Alfa-spark, Haidong, KSP, Pandawa, Semitech, Tio Putra Sulung, Yifeng, TMS, Mukti Mandiri Lestari, Griyo Asri 45, Airmas Tanjung, Devina Mandiri Sejahtera, Margo Mulyo Logam, and Triado Jayano Abadi. In addition, Telkom Group also separates e-waste from non-electronic waste. This e-waste generally comes from outdated and unused devices.

​

Telkom has also implemented product end-of-life management for IT hardware such as computers, servers, and routers, which are included in Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) through its subsidiaries, namely PINS and Telkomsel. The collected CPE devices are then separated by category based on the treatment required. The categories are ready-to-use refurbished devices, devices as a backup for employee work tools, devices sold to third parties, and devices to be written off. In addition, Telkom's subsidiary, Telkomsel, has also carried out modem waste management. By 2024, a total of 149,433 units of modem devices (including ONT or Optical Network Terminals and STB or Set Top Box) will be repaired or reused.

​

Telkom partners with certified hazardous and electronic waste processors, one of which is PT Triguna Abadi, to support the implementation of the Eduvice program (see Highlight Box). Telkom conducts partner selection to ensure that waste management procedures by partners run in accordance with Local Regulations. In the future, Telkom is committed to ensuring the implementation of responsible waste management practices.

​

Reduction Of Paper Use Through Digitalization

​

Telkom promotes digitalization by implementing a policy on the use and distribution of information through online system, such as online official memo, virtual meetings, joint files, online surveys, and IT-based HR services. This aims to maximize the digitalization efforts and IT adoption to reduce the use of paper. A paperless system is also enforced in sending bills to customers. This practice also be found in Telkom Subsidiaries. PT Infrastruktur Telekomunikasi Indonesia (Telkom Infra), a subsidiary of Telkom, for example, in 2024 has managed to reduce its paper use by 35% compared to 2023.

​

​

Table of Content

Use Of Environmentally Friendly Materials

​

Although Telkom does not produce physical products, its subsidiaries, Telkomsel, have used environmentally friendly materials for product manufacturing and packaging. In 2024, Telkomsel has replaced the packaging of 32,034,250 SIM cards from PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) to paper for regular products including Telkomsel Lite and byU. [POJK F.5]

​

Telkomsel also recycles SIM card waste along with their casing into paving blocks and phone holders. The wastes are collected from Telkomsel's partners throughout Indonesia and then managed by a third party called PlusTik who has been active in the waste management field. As of 2024, Telkomsel has produced 75,000 paving blocks and 20,000 phone holders. In the future, the recycled paving blocks will be used for new building construction materials at Telkomsel Smart Office (TSO), while phone holders will be redistributed to outlets for various purposes.

OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

​

WATER MANAGEMENT

​

Telkom Group sources its water supply from the Regional Drinking Water Company (PDAM). Recognizing the potential environmental impacts associated with water use, Telkom Group is committed to implementing responsible water management practices across its operational buildings. To support this initiative, Telkom Group operates Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) facilities that process liquid waste through filtration stages. This ensures that wastewater discharged into urban sewer systems or recycled for reuse meets safety standards and does not contain grey or black water. [POJK F.14]

​

The liquid waste output standards from Telkom Group’s STP facilities comply with Ministry of Environment and Forestry Regulation No. 68 of 2016. As of 2024, these facilities are operational in several Telkom Group buildings, including Graha Merah Putih (GMP) Pekanbaru Telkomsel Telecommunication Centre (TTC) Pekanbaru II, East North Sumatra Regional Area, Telkom Sigma District, West Jakarta Regional Area, West Jakarta OPMC and North Jakarta, Graha Telkom Property, Multimedia Tower, Telkom Landmark Tower (TLT) Jakarta, GMP Bubat, TTC Solo Baru, GMP Pahlawan, and TLT Manyar. Although Telkom has not yet established a quantitative target for liquid waste reduction or recorded the composition of substances in treated wastewater, Telkom will conduct data collection and monitoring to enhance water management practices in the future.

​

​

BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION

​

Telkom Group recognizes the environmental impact of its business operations, including GHG emissions and waste, as outlined in the previous section. As part of its commitment to environmental responsibility, Telkom actively participates in biodiversity conservation, despite not having operational areas directly in the conservation zones. Our responsibility is further reflected in the absence of public complaints related to environmental issues arising from Telkom’s operations in 2024. [POJK F.9] [POJK F.16]

​

Through collaboration with institutions and local communities, Telkom contributes to ecosystem preservation. The Telkom Social Responsibility Center (SRC), in coordination with subsidiaries and third-party partners, is responsible for implementing environmental programs that support carbon sequestration and environmental sustainability. In 2024, these initiatives included reforestation, conservation of terrestrial and marine ecosystems (mangrove planting and coral reef rehabilitation), and community engagement programs aimed at reducing carbon emissions and raising awareness at the community level. [POJK F.10] [POJK F.16]

Table of Content

In 2024, Telkom facilitated the planting of 102,450 trees across a total area of 4.6 hectares, in partnership with local communities through Telkom’s Hutan Binaan Digital program. The reforestation efforts were implemented in various villages, including Sukanagara and Simpang in Cianjur Regency; Balekembang, Mangunjaya, Sukajadi in Sukabumi Regency; Kulur in Majalengka Regency; Bukit Siregol in Purbalingga Regency; Selo in Boyolali Regency; Madenan and Les Buleleng in Bali; and Pasempe Village in Bone Regency.

​

The species planted include mango (Mangifera indica), avocado (Persea americana), palm (Arenga pinnata), resin (Agathis dammara), durian (Durio zibethinus Murr), cacao (Theobroma cacao), mahogany (Swietenia mahagoni), petai (Parkia speciosa), guava (Psidium guajava), and sonokeling (Dalbergia latifolia). To enhance transparency and monitoring, Telkom developed a WebGIS (Web Geographic Information System) visualization platform, providing real-time tracking of conservation areas and tree locations. This platform is accessible through the Telkom Green Digital website.

​

Figure 11. WebGIS Dashboard showing the area of planting by SRC Telkom

​

In addition to terrestrial ecosystem conservation, Telkom is actively engaged in marine ecosystem restoration initiatives. In 2024, Telkom planted 62,250 mangrove trees (Rhizophora mucronata) and transplanted 896 coral reef substrates (Acropora sp and Porites sp) across multiple coastal areas in Indonesia. These activities were conducted in locations including Lebak and Tunda Island (Serang Regency), Mayangan Village (North Coast of Subang), Pantai Bahagia Village (Bekasi), Tambak Bulusan Karang Tengah Village (Demak Regency), Panggungrejo Village (Pasuruan Regency), Bungah (Gresik Regency), Karimunjawa National Park, Morella Village (Central Maluku Regency), and Lanjukang Island (Makassar City).

​

To ensure the sustainability of these efforts, Telkom collaborates with academic institutions, community groups, and environmental foundations for post-planting maintenance and monitoring. In Tambak Bulusan Demak Village, Telkom partners with the SDGs Center of Diponegoro University on Aksi Restorasi Bumi initiatives. In North Sumatra, Telkom works with local organizations such as Baitulmaal Muamalat (BMM) and the Tanjung Rejo Mangrove Group to oversee mangrove conservation efforts. Monitoring for the coral reef transplantation program in Lanjukang is carried out in collaboration with the Gusung Tallasa Community (Gustalkom) and Hasanuddin University.

​

​

Table of Content

​

In collaboration with Diponegoro University and Telkom University, Telkom has begun measuring carbon stock levels resulting from its Corporate Social Responsibility program, especially in the environment sector. In 2024, measurements were conducted across 10 locations, recording an average above-ground biomass carbon stock of 1.38 tonnes C/hectare in mangrove planting areas and 0.11 tonnes C/hectare in reforestation and revegetation areas. With a total conservation area of 105.8 hectares, the estimated total carbon stock in the soil is 69.18 tonnes. Moving forward, Telkom will expand its mangrove planting and revegetation initiatives as part of its commitment to biodiversity conservation and climate resilience.

ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE

​

Table 7. Resource Management Performance

​

Fluctuations in recorded waste and water data are attributed to multiple factors. Telkom Group has introduced waste management initiatives, including the sorting domestic and electronic waste, the provision of categorized waste bins, and the reuse of fiber optic cables. Additionally, in 2024, a reduction in the number of employees occurred due to the early retirement program, contributing to lower waste generation.

​

The increase in water usage from 2022 can be attributed to the transition to post-pandemic conditions, coinciding with broader economic recovery efforts. Conversely, the reduction in water consumption in 2024 reflects the impact of environmental initiatives and workforce reductions, which have contributed to overall efficiency in resource usage.
