Pertamina Creativepreneur Summit 2024: The Future of Pertamina Belongs to the Young Generation

Jakarta, August 25, 2024 - As an energy company in Indonesia, PT Pertamina (Persero) continues to encourage Pertamina’s young officers to become the next generation in developing sustainable energy. It aligns with Pertamina's business strategy to strengthen energy resilience and build a low-carbon business.  

"In running Pertamina's business in the future, creativity and innovation are crucial. This effort is aimed at developing affordable alternative energy, ensuring that it can be accessed by all segments of society," said Salyadi Saputra, Director of Strategy, Portfolio, and Business Development of Pertamina, on Saturday, August 24, 2024, at the Pertamina Creativepreneur Summit 2024 at the Jakarta Convention Center.  

Salyadi emphasized that Pertamina encourages its officers, especially the younger generation, to be creative, particularly in contributing innovative ideas for sustainable business practices.  

"Although Pertamina is a state-owned enterprise, this does not mean the work is monotonous. On the contrary, we offer opportunities for the younger generation to contribute their creativity, ultimately benefiting both the company and the nation," explained Salyadi.  

During the event, Salyadi highlighted Pertamina’s innovations in developing a low-carbon future, such as biofuel, biodiesel, Pertamax Green, and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).  

"Biodiesel and Pertamax Green are already in the market, and SAF has been successfully tested on commercial flights. Moreover, the integrated Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCS/CCUS) value chain provides a competitive advantage for supporting domestic decarbonization and becoming a regional player. Additionally, initiatives like Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) and their carbon credit business potential offer many opportunities in the low-carbon sector," Salyadi stated.  

Salyadi also hopes all Pertamina officers, especially the younger generation, maintain their enthusiasm and creativity.  

"For this reason, we continue to encourage Pertamina’s young officers to pour out their creative ideas and innovate because Pertamina’s future belongs to them," said Salyadi.  

The Vice President of Corporate Communication of Pertamina, Fadjar Djoko Santoso, added that Pertamina’s workforce is currently dominated by millennials and Gen Z across various competencies and operations. "Pertamina’s young officers are a source of energy. These young officers will be agents of change to strengthen Pertamina’s sustainability business," Fadjar explained.  

The Pertamina Creativepreneur Summit 2024 is being held at the Jakarta Convention Center from August 24-25, 2024. The event brings together various creative industry players to exchange ideas and knowledge, with more than 80 innovative leaders from different industries participating.

Pertamina, as a leading company in the energy transition, is committed to supporting the Net Zero Emission 2060 target by continuously promoting programs that directly impact the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) achievement. All these efforts align with Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) implementation across all Pertamina's business lines and operations.**
