Jakarta, Indonesia, January 8, 2019– Chevron Indonesia won the Sustainable Business Award Indonesia (SBA-I) 2018 in the land use and biodiversity category. Senior Vice President, PGPA, Wahyu Budiarto, received the prestigious recognition from Bambang Permadi Soemantri Brodjonegoro, Minister of National Development Planning, at the award ceremony at Hotel Mandarin Oriental, Jakarta.
Chevron was among the top five companies in land use and biodiversity category.

"We are honored to receive this award alongside other reputable national and multinational companies. Our company’s values drive us to provide energy responsibly while protecting the environment and working with our partners to achieve sustainable development,” said Wahyu Budiarto.
In Indonesia and around the globe, Chevron conducts its business in a socially responsible and ethical manner, protects people and the environment, supports universal human rights, and benefits the communities. “Protecting people and the environment is our core value. Our goal is to be admired worldwide for excellence in this area. We recognize biodiversity conservation is an important environmental and social concern, and we accept the challenge and opportunity to show we can protect biodiversity while providing the energy resources the world needs. We are committed to demonstrate we can achieve those goals through our performance and partnerships,” explained Kevin Lyon, managing director IBU.
Competing for the awards with more than 50 respected national and multinational companies operating in Indonesia, Chevron Indonesia passed the pre-qualification process with a satisfactory rating.
