Together for Towuti¡¯s Recovery: A Collaboration Between Government, Community, and PT ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ for Shared Resilience

Towuti,August 28, 2025 - The recent oil pipeline leak affecting several villages in Towuti District, East Luwu Regency, presents a challenge that calls for collective action. From local communities to government bodies, from technical teams to corporate support, all parties have mobilized with compassion to accelerate recovery efforts. This spirit of mutual cooperation reflects the noble values of Indonesia: facing adversity together, and rising together.

In response to the incident, residents from the affected villages did not remain passive. They voluntarily joined the technical teams on the ground to help clean up the impacted areas. As of the sixth day, villagers from Langkea Raya, Lioka (Malindoe Hamlet), Baruga, Matompi, and Timampu have actively participated in restoring riverbanks and rice fields.

PT ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Indonesia Tbk (PT ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½) has supported these efforts by ensuring all activities adhere to safety standards and by equipping community members with the necessary training to maintain a safe and effective recovery process.

¡°As residents of this village, we feel compelled to help speed up the recovery. This is our home, and we must protect it together. We believe PT ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ is also part of our community,¡± said Batteng, a resident of Langkea Raya.

East Luwu Regent, Irwan Bachri Syam, expressed his appreciation for the spirit of solidarity shown by the community, government, and PT ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ during a press conference held at the Towuti sub-district office, attended by dozens of residents. ¡°We have witnessed firsthand how collaboration unfolds in the field. However, the cause of the incident is still under investigation by expert teams. The oil pipeline leak involving Marine Fuel Oil (MFO) will be reviewed from day one until September 5, 2025. Therefore, we must await the official findings and avoid speculation. What is clear is that this unity is a powerful asset for Towuti¡¯s recovery,¡± said Irwan.

He further emphasized that such synergy strengthens regional resilience in the face of challenges and commended PT ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½¡¯s openness and presence alongside the community throughout the recovery process.

PT ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½¡¯s Director and Chief Sustainability & Corporate Affairs Officer, Budiawansyah, reaffirmed the company¡¯s commitment to prioritizing the well-being of the community and the environment.

¡°We have developed a comprehensive social and environmental recovery plan involving experts in their respective fields. This is our moral responsibility and a valuable lesson to enhance future preparedness. With the synergy between the government, community, and PT ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½, we believe Towuti will rise again. #BersamaUntukTowuti (#TogetherForTowuti),¡± said Budiawansyah.
