Telkomsel Jaga Bumi

Telkomsel Jaga Bumi is focused on managing energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and handling waste. The main goal is to lessen our environmental impact while also supporting government and community efforts to tackle environmental issues.

Currently, some initiatives under Telkomsel Jaga Bumi include a Waste Management Program that works with PlusTik to recycle plastic from starter pack packaging and SIM card shells into reusable products. There's also a Carbon Offset program in partnership with Jejak.in, where customers can use their Telkomsel Poin to plant trees to help offset their carbon footprint, and employees can contribute to tree planting as part of their commuting efforts.

We are working with PlusTik to address waste management by recycling plastic waste from SIM card packaging into reusable products like smartphone holders and pavement blocks. This initiative helps reduce plastic waste from used SIM cards collected from our outlet partners and other providers. They periodically collect and track the amount of plastic waste, which PlusTik processes into new items.

The recycled smartphone holders are sent back to reseller outlets for display, while the pavement blocks are used in renovations and new construction. So far, they have recycled 670 kg of SIM card waste into 75,000 pavement blocks, 45,000 phone holders, and 10,000 trash bins. We aim to promote a circular economy by encouraging resource reuse and reducing waste.

A carbon footprint is the accumulated emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants resulting from daily human activities, contributing to increased greenhouse gas emissions. An increasing carbon footprint is a major factor in extreme climate change, which directly impacts the air quality, health, and sustainability of our lives.

As a concrete effort to offset this carbon footprint, planting and adopting trees is a strategic, sustainable solution. From 2022 to 2025, through a collaboration with Jejak.in, we have planted 39,095 trees, contributing to carbon sequestration of 22,784.81 kgC, equivalent to 83.67 tCO₂e.

We invite you to be part of this movement by calculating your carbon footprint independently through our platform. Redeem your Telkomsel Poin to contribute to planting mangroves and various other Multi-Purpose Tree Species (MPTS), as a concrete step to reduce carbon emissions and maintain environmental sustainability for future generations.
