Celebrating a Global First While Accelerating the Transformation of Sustainable Energy Infrastructure

Bureau Veritas officially awarded the Green Terminal Label Certification (GTLC) to Pertamina Energy Terminal's LPG Terminal Tanjung Sekong, marking a historic achievement as the first LPG terminal in the world to receive certification under the Bureau Veritas Green Terminal Label framework. 

The certification handover ceremony brought together leaders from Bureau Veritas, Pertamina Energy Terminal, and Pertamina Group to celebrate a milestone that not only recognizes current sustainability performance but also establishes a new benchmark for the future of terminal operations globally.

Speaking during the ceremony, Joko Prakoso, Southeast Asia Industry Director & Country Chair Indonesia at Bureau Veritas, emphasized the broader significance of the achievement.

"This achievement reflects Pertamina Energy Terminal's leadership and commitment to building a more sustainable, safe, and resilient energy future."

More importantly, the achievement demonstrates how independent assurance, technical expertise, and sustainability frameworks can help accelerate the transformation of critical energy infrastructure and support Indonesia's long-term energy transition ambitions.

As the developer and certification body behind the Green Terminal Label framework, Bureau Veritas sees this achievement as a strong example of how sustainability commitments can be translated into measurable operational performance and long-term business value.

Independent Verification Driving Measurable and Continuous Improvement

As the independent certification body, Bureau Veritas conducted a comprehensive assessment covering 10 key sustainability elements within the Green Terminal Label framework.

The evaluation found that five elements achieved very strong performance, while five others were identified as areas for continuous improvement, reinforcing the program's objective of driving ongoing operational enhancement rather than simply recognizing existing achievements.

"Bureau Veritas assessed ten key elements, five of which achieved very good performance, while the remaining five represent opportunities for further improvement."

Following the assessment process, Terminal LPG Tanjung Sekong achieved a score of 78.86% and was awarded a 2-Star Green Terminal Label Certification.

Bayu also highlighted the broader impact of the initiative:

"This transformation is part of the strategic collaboration between Bureau Veritas and Pertamina."

Turning Sustainability Ambitions into Operational Performance

The Green Terminal Label Certification represents more than a sustainability recognition. It serves as a structured pathway for organizations to improve performance, strengthen governance, and implement measurable sustainability initiatives.

During the ceremony, Surya Tri Harto, President Director of PT. Pertamina International Shipping highlighted the significance of the milestone for Pertamina's future development:

"This marks the first step toward Pertamina's operational excellence."

By combining independent verification with internationally recognized sustainability criteria, Bureau Veritas helps terminal operators establish clear benchmarks, identify improvement opportunities, and embed a culture of continuous improvement throughout their operations.

This commitment aligns with Bureau Veritas' mission to support clients in achieving safety, quality, sustainability, and operational excellence.

Supporting the Development of Future-Ready and Low-Carbon Energy Infrastructure

Beyond certification, the Green Terminal Label program demonstrates Bureau Veritas' growing role in supporting Indonesia's transition toward a more sustainable and resilient energy ecosystem.

The achievement of Terminal LPG Tanjung Sekong is closely linked to Pertamina's broader vision for low-carbon energy development, particularly in supporting future hydrogen infrastructure.

According to Agung Wicaksono, Director of Business Transformation and Sustainability of PT. Pertamina (Persero):

"Green Terminal Tanjung Sekong serves as the anchor for the development of Pertamina's hydrogen ecosystem, from upstream to downstream."

He also emphasized the importance of collaboration in achieving this milestone:

"This achievement has been made possible through the collaboration between Pertamina and Bureau Veritas."

As sustainability expectations continue to evolve, Bureau Veritas remains committed to providing independent assurance and internationally recognized frameworks that enable organizations to transform strategic ambitions into measurable outcomes.

Creating a Replicable Model for Sustainable Terminal Operations Across Indonesia

The certification of Terminal LPG Tanjung Sekong is expected to become a catalyst for broader sustainability transformation across Indonesia's energy infrastructure sector.

Agung Wicaksono noted:

"Tanjung Sekong is expected to become a benchmark for other Pertamina terminals pursuing Green Terminal status."

As the world's first LPG terminal certified under the Bureau Veritas Green Terminal Label framework, Tanjung Sekong demonstrates how terminal operators can integrate sustainability, governance, operational excellence, and continuous improvement into their long-term business strategy.

The achievement establishes a practical model that can inspire similar initiatives across Indonesia and the wider energy industry.
