With over 1/2 of 🌎 mined nickel outputs & dominant nickel pig iron and battery-grade intermediate production, Indonesia sits at the heart of stainless steel and battery value chains.
What does this mean for global markets and responsible mining?

Sustainability Standards and Initiatives can strengthen mining governance—but only if they complement, not replace, public regulation.
Strategic integration is 🔑 as gov'ts navigate complex sustainability requirements.
