Communities near our operations are central to our sustainability journey. At PT Merdeka Gold Resources, community well-being is embedded in our approach to long-term business success, grounded in respect for local values, cultures, and traditions.

From the outset, we apply the principle of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) to foster transparent and inclusive engagement. This principle underpins our efforts to build and maintain lasting social license.

To ensure responsible management of social impacts, we routinely assess the socio-economic landscape, giving particular attention to vulnerable groups such as women, children, and minority populations.

Our Community Development and Empowerment (CDE) programs is tailored to the actual needs of each community. It spans education, healthcare, real income generation, cultural preservation, environmental participation, institutional strengthening, and infrastructure. Each initiative is designed through inclusive processes such as community planning meetings and feedback mechanisms.
