A. Background

Banten Province, as a region experiencing rapid development dynamics, faces serious challenges in maintaining environmental balance, primarily due to land conversion, industrial activities, and continuous population growth. These conditions have the potential to degrade environmental quality if not balanced with sustainable conservation and greening efforts.

Based on data from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Banten Province’s Environmental Quality Index (IKLH) over the last five years has indeed remained in the “moderate to good” range according to national classification. However, a consistent declining trend in achievement signals that a “business as usual” approach is no longer adequate. A more adaptive and innovation-based service transformation is needed to ensure sustainable improvement in environmental quality, especially through strengthening risk-based environmental supervision, refining real-time quality monitoring systems, and enhancing multi-stakeholder collaboration in conservation and public education.

The involvement of industry in this activity is also a form of corporate social and environmental responsibility (Corporate Social Responsibility/CSR) oriented towards sustainability. Meanwhile, active community participation is the main key to the success of tree-planting movements, as environmental preservation cannot be carried out by one party alone, but must be a collective movement of all components of the nation.

Through the spirit of “Green Collaboration: Moving Together with Industry and Society to Plant for a Sustainable Banten,” the HMPI and BMN 2025 activities are expected to foster collective awareness, expand green spaces, and strengthen a shared commitment to making Banten a green, sustainable, and resilient province against climate change.

B. Objectives

This activity aims to:

1. Build multi-stakeholder collaboration in maintaining and improving the environmental quality in Banten Province.
2. Increase public awareness about the importance of trees for life, especially in maintaining ecosystem balance and environmental quality.
3. Encourage active participation from the community and all stakeholders in environmental preservation activities through tree planting.
4. Reduce the impact of climate change by increasing green cover capable of absorbing carbon dioxide.
5. Re-green, especially critical lands in Banten Province.

C. Activity Theme

The theme for the 2025 HMPI Commemoration is “Green Collaboration: Moving Together with Industry and Society to Plant for a Sustainable Banten.”

F. Event Format and Series

The 2025 HMPI Commemoration will be carried out through several series of activities:

1. Campaigns and Education. This public campaign and education will be conducted through the creation of leaflets providing information and knowledge about the importance and benefits of planting trees in preserving the environment. The leaflets will be disseminated through various social media channels of the Banten Provincial Environmental Agency, PATTIRO, and PATTIRO Banten.
2. Podcast or casual talk show on the theme of tree planting. The podcast will feature speakers with a vision for environmental preservation. Speakers to be invited include: young people with an environmental perspective, companies with a commitment to environmental protection, and religious figures discussing environmental perspectives from a religious aspect. The podcast will be directly managed by PATTIRO.
3. Tree distribution to the community and initial tree planting. Trees will be distributed to community groups such as women farmers’ groups (KWT), Village Governments, and other community groups committed to greening efforts.
4. Peak Event of the HMPI 2025 Commemoration. The peak event of HMPI will be centered in Sukadalem Village, Waringinkurung District. The event will be attended by the Governor of Banten Province, Leaders of Companies participating in the HMPI collaboration, Banten Provincial and District/City Regional Leadership Forums, Ministry of Forestry Officials, Provincial and District/City Regional Officials/Heads of SKPD, Heads of Ministry of Forestry Technical Implementation Units (UPT), BUMN/BUMD/BUMS, Banks and Environmental and Forestry Partner Companies, Women’s Organizations, TNI and Polri, University Students, Scouts and School Students, Environmental Care Groups, environmental NGOs, and other related fields.

G. Corporate or Private Sector Participation

Corporate participation in the commemoration of Tree Planting Day plays a crucial role in environmental preservation efforts and promoting sustainable development. As part of society, companies not only have economic responsibilities but also social and environmental respons responsibilities. Through active involvement in tree planting activities, companies can demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR). This involvement is a tangible form of the private sector’s contribution to mitigating the impacts of climate change, improving environmental quality, and restoring damaged ecosystems.

Beyond providing ecological benefits, tree planting activities can also strengthen relationships between companies and surrounding communities, foster a shared sense of environmental concern, and build a positive corporate image as a development partner oriented towards sustainability. More than just a symbolic activity, corporate participation in tree planting is a long-term investment for the future. Trees planted today will benefit future generations, providing clean air, preserving water sources and creating a healthier and more comfortable environment for all.
