In today’s competitive and environmentally conscious business landscape, compliance with regulations and corporate social responsibility (CSR) are key drivers of reputation and long-term sustainability. One of the most recognized assessments of a company’s environmental commitment in Indonesia is PROPER — (Program Penilaian Peringkat Kinerja Perusahaan dalam Pengelolaan Lingkungan Hidup) by Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan (KLHK).
To help companies prepare for PROPER evaluations, SUCOFINDO offers a dedicated service: PROPER Advisory Services — a professional solution designed to support businesses in enhancing environmental performance and achieving higher PROPER ratings.
What is PROPER?
PROPER is an official program from the MoEF that evaluates companies’ environmental management performance. Key assessment areas include:
- Compliance with environmental permits
- Energy and resource efficiency
- Waste and emission management
- Water conservation
- Social responsibility and community development (CSR/Comdev)
- Environmental innovation
PROPER uses a color-coded ranking system:
- Gold (Excellent)
- Green (Beyond compliance)
- Blue (Compliant)
- Red (Non-compliant)
- Black (Serious violation)
Achieving a Green or Gold rating is not just a milestone—it’s a reflection of a company’s commitment to innovation and sustainability, enhancing its reputation and competitiveness.
