"ESG is not merely a "nice to have"; it is the cornerstone of our business. Our PYX Cares program, inspired by the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, shapes our business ethos and development. PYX Cares is a comprehensive sustainability initiative designed to deliver sustainable value to all stakeholders. By empowering local communities, protecting the environment, promoting diversity, and ensuring employees and the people of Kalimantan can fully participate in and benefit from PYX's long-term success, we stay true to our mission.

"Receiving the ZIA's Gold Award for ESG Excellence is a significant recognition of PYX's unwavering commitment to operating at the highest ESG standards in our industry."
