  6. Decommissioning
    The discontinuation of an AI system’s operations must be based on the results of an evaluation of the AI system’s performance, together with the identification of related operational risks to the Company.
Environmental Responsibility

Currently, all AI implemented at Pupuk Indonesia runs on several Cloud services managed by the Company. As part of the Company’s commitment to sustainability initiatives under the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) framework, Pupuk Indonesia applies a number of considerations in selecting Cloud service providers that are committed to efficiency and to reducing the environmental impact of their operational infrastructure.

AI Impact on Sustainability

PreciX (Precision Agriculture Platform) is one of the Company’s implementations of artificial intelligence (AI). The platform was developed by IARI, Agtech, Data Science, and the Company’s subsidiaries, in line with the national agricultural transformation agenda under the Agtech Roadmap 2034 and the Company’s Digital Transformation & World Class Capability initiatives. PreciX processes data from satellite technology, multispectral drones, and proximal sensors to produce spatial analyses of soil and plant nutrient status and levels. Its main outputs are nutrient status information and fertilization recommendations that adapt to the characteristics of each commodity and the size of the land. Through these recommendations, landowners can apply fertilizer at rates based on the nutrient needs of the soil and plants. As a result, fertilizer use becomes better targeted in line with the 4R Nutrient Stewardship principles (Right Source, Right Rate, Right Time, and Right Place), so that fertilization efficiency improves, fertilization costs are optimized, and commodity productivity can be increased sustainably.

PreciX implementation covers rice, corn, sugarcane, and oil palm, with a coverage area that continues to grow. Its impact is quantified through three performance indicators, each with an annual target. Two indicators measure implementation coverage, namely the area of soil nutrient mapping and the area of PreciX deployment. The third indicator measures the impact on the average increase in commodity productivity. Throughout 2025, soil nutrient mapping reached 290,944.7 hectares, or 103.2% of the 282,000-hectare target. PreciX deployment reached 30,173.1 hectares, or 107.0% of the 28,200-hectare target. The average productivity increase was recorded at 13.3%, exceeding the 5% target.

At the field level, the nutrient status information and fertilization recommendations from PreciX support data-driven decision-making in cultivation practices. Strategically at the corporate level, achievement against these targets serves as the basis for evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s precision agriculture model in supporting productivity optimization.

Awareness and Security of AI Use

As part of Pupuk Indonesia’s commitment to responsible AI implementation, the Company actively carries out several programs aimed at strengthening the security of AI use. Through its employee competency development program, the Company has conducted specialized training for personnel who develop and manage AI tools. To raise awareness of responsible AI use, the Company also conducts webinars on AI use for all employees. In addition, the Company provides dedicated channels (such as an e-learning platform) for independent learning, available to all employees wishing to expand their knowledge of AI.

External Assessment of AI Governance

PT Pupuk Indonesia (Persero) has conducted a Responsible AI Maturity Assessment through a third party as part of its commitment to the responsible implementation of AI. The assessment was carried out through document review and interviews with process owners, AI managers, data owners, and other related parties.

The assessment covers 22 aspects, consisting of 2 environmental aspects, 8 social aspects, and 12 governance aspects. These aspects include, among others, AI accountability and risk classification, human oversight of AI decisions, data privacy and security, pre-deployment validation, system monitoring, and incident handling. The assessment criteria refer to recognized standards and frameworks, namely ISO/IEC 42001:2023 on AI management systems, NIST AI RMF 1.0, ISO/IEC 42005:2025, COBIT 2019, CMMI, and GRI Standards. The assessment report contains maturity levels, gaps, and improvement recommendations for each aspect.

Sustainable Products

Commitment to Hazardous Substance Management

Pupuk Indonesia consistently prioritizes product safety and environmental protection across the entire fertilizer and chemical production value chain. As a manifestation of this commitment, Pupuk Indonesia has established a policy to continuously reduce, substitute, and potentially phase out the use of hazardous substances in both products and production processes, going beyond mere regulatory compliance. This commitment applies to all product lines manufactured by Pupuk Indonesia and its subsidiaries, spanning from raw material selection and production processes to product end-use by customers. As part of these efforts, Pupuk Indonesia continues to transform its product portfolio toward more environmentally friendly options. All products are ensured to meet Pupuk Indonesia’s compliance with sustainable industry principles through Green Industry Standard (SIH) certifications established by the Ministry of Industry, which encompass evaluations of raw materials, auxiliary materials, production processes, as well as waste and hazardous and toxic material (B3) management.

Pupuk Indonesia’s commitment to product stewardship is also reflected through obtaining Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certifications referencing ISO 14025, which are grounded in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies compliant with ISO 14040/14044. Through EPDs, product environmental impact data regarding toxicity aspects and potential exposure to hazardous substances throughout the life cycle are verified by an independent third party and transparently disclosed to customers, regulators, and other stakeholders. In practice, hazardous substance reduction and substitution efforts are backed by dedicated research and development resource allocations. The Indonesia Agrichemical Research Institute (IARI) division actively develops product formulations with lower contaminant levels, including bio-based fertilizers and products with higher nutrient uptake efficiency as safer environmental alternatives. During procurement, every raw material supplier is required to provide a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for all supplied materials, and material specification reviews are meticulously conducted to ensure that utilized materials are not only safe but also eco-friendly. Pupuk Indonesia also implements the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for chemical classification and labeling in accordance with Ministry of Industry regulations, ensuring every product is equipped with clear labels and safety markings for all parties interacting with the product. Comprehensive evaluations of product safety aspects from raw materials to application methods are conducted periodically to guarantee that products remain safe for use while meeting customer expectations and applicable regulatory standards.
