The Ministry of Environment, Indonesia
Paris, 2-3 December 2004

Environmental Management in Indonesia
Shifting from end-of-pipe to clean production
 No regulation
1
 No environmental institution
 Lack of government &
corporation interest
1982
2
 End of pipe management

 Environmental regulation
 Government intervention

1995
 Clean production
 Public Disclosure System
 Economic instruments
 Integrated environment management
PRESENT
FUTURE
 Ecological efficiency
 Partnership between government &
corporation

Environmental Compliance
Implementation
a. Monitoring tools for Industrial Pollution Control :
PROKASIH, Blue Sky Program, Hazardous Waste
Management Program
b. Litigation
7 steps for dispute resolution :
 Surveillance for information and data collection
 Investigation for evidences
 Legal brief
 Trial
 Appeal to high court
 Appeal to supreme court
3
Current Situation:
Good Environmental Law But Weak
Implementation
Weak monitoring system :
Human resources capacity
Financial supports
Lack of coordination between agencies.
Lack of knowledge on environmental
issue by stakeholders.

Alternative solutions for industrial
pollution control
• NGO and community have function as a “watchdog” to control industrial activities.
• ISO 14001.
– A voluntary scheme for company’s environmental
management system.
– A commitment to improve environmental performance
of companies.
– ISO 14001 does not reflect a real companies’
environmental performance
• Public Disclosure system (PROPER)
– An instrument to improve industries’ environmental
performance through information dissemination to
public.

What is PROPER
?
PROPER (Program for Pollution Control, Evaluation
and Rating) is an alternative instrument to control
pollution based on sustainable development
principle through environmental compliance and
performance of companies’ improvement in
environmental management through the introducing
disincentive and incentive reputation by disclosing
environmental performance of industries to public
and stakeholders.

PROPER RATING SYSTEM 2002
GOLD
GREEN
• Pollution level 5% of the legal
standards and near zero
emissions level
• Better than legal standards by
50%, uses clean technology,
waste minimization, pollution
prevention, and resource
conservation
BLUE
• Efforts meet minimum legal
standards
RED
• Efforts don’t meet standards
BLACK
• No pollution control effort,
• Serious environmental damages
- PROPER rating system
consists of five colors
designed to represent the
entire spectrum of
environmental performance.
- Ratings are based on
performance in all aspects of
environmental management
within and outside a company
- Unlike PROPER 1995,
PROPER 2003 methodology
includes water, air and
hazardous waste and other
factors.

ADMINISTRATION COST
• Budget of US$ 31,400 must be provided in
order to resolve an environmental case,
not to mention the long period of time to
go through.
• Cost needed by PROPER to increase the
environmental performance of one
industry is approximately US$ 2,362 (60%
of 43 manufacture industries has improved
its performance).

Limitation
• PROPER is only effective for large scale
companies because they are concern with the
image to market.
• PROPER cannot apply to all scale of industries.
21
SUMMARY
• Based on administration cost approach, PROPER is a
more effective program to be carried out compared to
litigation.
• PROPER is especially effective for large scale
industries.
• PROPER is a complementary instrument in controlling
pollution to other environmental law enforcement
programs.
• Indonesia still needs strong environmental agencies.
