Energy is important aspect for AKR's operational activities. Climate change, which is currently being discussed globally, has also placed energy management as part of the Company’s main focus and concern. Therefore, AKR has a commitment and policy to try to use energy efficiently. AKR pays close attention to energy use and has made several energy conservation efforts in its production process.

In 2023, AKR’s total energy consumption amounted to 781,357.57 Gigajoules (GJ). This figure increased compared to the previous year due to the expansion of AKR’s truck and vessel fleet and an increase in the quantity of distributed products, including to industrial and retail customers. Additionally, the Company recorded an increase in the number of tenants in the JIIPE KEK.

The trend of renewable energy use at AKR also showed a positive performance, with the proportion reaching 27% of the total internal energy consumption of the Company in 2023.

Despite the overall increase in energy consumption, AKR managed to maintain the trend of energy consumption intensity, with 2023 recorded at 0.17 GJ/million Rp Gross Profit, which is relatively stable compared to the energy intensity of the previous year, which was 0.16 GJ/million Rp Gross Profit

The Company’s energy consumption calculation methodology we use is to collect data on petroleum purchases, electricity bills and electricity metering used by AKR and its subsidiaries. The conversion factor used to calculate energy units refers to the standards of the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (2006), the World Resources Institute and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development.

The Company remains consistent in its efforts for energy efficiency, including:

1. LED lighting usage: LED lighting in AKR offices, marketing offices at KEK JIIPE Gresik, BP-AKR stations, office buildings, and terminals
2. Solar sensor usage: Solar sensors are installed on lights at the JTT site.
3. Inverter usage for large-capacity production motors at ARUKI, and others.
4. Solar panel usage at various points to increase the mix of renewable energy used for AKR’s operations.
