Facing Industry Challenges, Promoting Innovation and Efficiency

In the first quarter of 2024, the cement industry faced significant challenges, including intense competition in the domestic cement market, unpredictable weather conditions, slowing retail market demand, delayed infrastructure project realizations due to election situations, and numerous holidays and changes in public spending priorities.

However, the momentum of recovery from the realization of government construction projects supporting the National Strategic Projects (PSN), including the IKN, which potentially absorbs cement demand, is expected to boost the growth of the building materials industry this year.

Entering the second quarter of 2024, SBI has begun collaborating with the Jakarta Public Works Agency on several main road repair projects using rapid setting concrete SpeedCrete and the construction of sidewalks on Jl. HR. Rasuna Said, Jakarta. Additionally, SBI is accelerating the completion of dock and production facility development projects in Tuban, East Java, to meet the demand for exporting special type cement up to 1 million tons per year through strategic cooperation with Taiheiyo Cement Corporation (TCC).

In terms of sustainability, SBI strengthens its commitment through innovation, digitalization, the use of alternative fuels and raw materials, and synergy with SIG. This is reflected in the expansion of waste management cooperation with various regions, including MoUs with the Aceh Provincial Government, Temanggung Regency, Magelang, Bantul, Wonosobo, and Yogyakarta City, and continuing cooperation with Cilacap Regency, Banyumas, DKI Jakarta, Sleman, and waste management in Bali.

This collaboration supports SBI in increasing the utilization of RDF as an alternative fuel to achieve the carbon emission reduction targets set by the company, as well as SBI’s contribution to realizing sustainable development through a circular economy, such as the use of industrial waste and biomass as alternative fuels.

“This step not only affirms our commitment to the company’s 2030 Sustainability Road Map but also is a concrete action in supporting the Indonesian Government’s target to achieve Net Zero Emissions by 2050,” said Soni Asrul Sani.
