Jababeka Ecoweek 2026 Records Achievement of 100,000 Mangrove Trees on the North Coast of Bekasi

Muara Gembong, July 23, 2026 – PT Jababeka Tbk, a developer of self-sufficient cities that not only focuses on industrial areas but also the future of Indonesia’s industry, continues to show its commitment to creating areas with an integrated ecosystem. This is where companies, talent, and communities grow faster, operate more efficiently, and transform towards a greener and smarter future.

This commitment is concretely realized through its subsidiary, PT Jababeka Infrastruktur (Jababeka), which manages the Jababeka-Cikarang Industrial Area. Along with 27 tenants, Jababeka held its annual Jababeka Ecoweek 2026 program by planting 35,000 mangrove seedlings at Pantai Bahagia, Muara Gembong, Bekasi Regency, West Java. This planting brings the total number of mangrove trees planted since the program started in 2018 to 100,000.

This achievement marks an important milestone for Jababeka Ecoweek, which since 2018 has consistently brought together area managers, industrial tenants, the government, and the community to work together in protecting and restoring coastal ecosystems.

Didik Purbadi, President Director of PT Jababeka Infrastruktur, explained that this achievement aligns with this year’s theme, “Resilient Coasts, Sustainable Impact.” It reflects the spirit of building resilience in coastal areas against erosion and climate change threats, while also encouraging every environmental conservation effort to create a sustainable impact, both for the coastal ecosystems and the surrounding communities.

The figure of 100,000 trees serves as a concrete representation of this spirit: a gradual, consistent, and collaborative process built over nearly a decade. This achievement is also part of the series of events celebrating World Mangrove Day, which falls on July 26, serving as a reminder of the importance of sustainable efforts to preserve mangrove ecosystems globally.

At the national level, this spirit of mangrove conservation aligns with the National Ecological Repentance Movement promoted by the Ministry of Environment/Environmental Control Agency (KLH/BPLH) as an effort to sustainably restore ecosystems, including coastal and mangrove areas.

“The planting of 35,000 mangrove seedlings in Muara Gembong is also recorded in the government’s data as part of the contribution to the national target of planting 2 billion trees, which the Ministry of Environment and Forestry is pushing to accelerate across various coastal areas of Indonesia,” explained the man known as Purbadi.

Furthermore, Purbadi explained that this year’s achievement is the result of a gradual process. “Every year, we keep increasing the number of seedlings planted in this area. This year, we continue that spirit by adding 35,000 new seedlings, bringing the total cumulative planting since 2018 to 100,000 trees. These numbers are not just statistics, but real proof that collaboration between area managers, industry tenants, and coastal communities can create long-term environmental impact,” he said.

This long journey started back in 2018, when Jababeka Ecoweek was first initiated as a project by PT Jababeka Infrastruktur together with the tenants of the Jababeka Industrial Estate to commemorate World Environment Day. From that starting point, the program has been carried out every year, designed as part of a long-term effort to support the preservation of coastal ecosystems, including contributing to beach erosion mitigation and mangrove vegetation restoration in the Muara Gembong area. By 2026, the total cumulative planting even reached 100,000 trees.

As part of the Jababeka Ecoweek 2026 series, Jababeka also inaugurated a mangrove tourism area at the same location. The presence of this tourism area is expected to open up new economic opportunities for the local community through nature-based tourism development. In this way, the achievement of 100,000 mangrove trees not only strengthens environmental conservation efforts but also begins to provide economic benefits for coastal communities.

The milestone of 100,000 trees, Purbadi concluded, is not the end, but rather a stepping stone for the next steps. Jababeka, together with all the tenants of the Jababeka Industrial Estate, affirms its commitment to continuously maintain the sustainability of this program in the coming years, which is to build resilient coasts while also creating impacts that are directly felt by the environment and community in a sustainable way.

The achievement of 35,000 seedlings this year is actually the result of a collective contribution from 27 tenant companies in the Jababeka Industrial Area, including PT Akzonobel Indonesia, PT International Paint Indonesia, PT ICI Paints Indonesia, PT Metalsindo Pacific, Graha Buana Cikarang, PT Cikarang Listrindo, PT Pharma Health Care, PT Sumber Mas Autorindo, PT Hulane Tech Manufacturing, PT Fukoku Tokai Rubber Indonesia, PT Dexa Medica, PT Hanes Supply Chain Indonesia, PT Astemo Bekasi Manufacturing, PT Sari Takagi Elok Produk, PT Sanjaya International Fishery, Padang Golf Cikarang, PT Komatsu Undercarriage Indonesia, PT Kurita Indonesia, PT Magnum Ice Cream Indonesia, PT Nippon Steel Chemical & Material Indonesia, PT Anugerah Pharmindo Lestari, PT Tokai Texprint Indonesia, PT BS Indonesia, PT Mane Indonesia, PT Piaggio Indonesia Industrial, PT Kao Indonesia, and PT Citra Langgeng Sentosa. The involvement of multiple industry sectors – from manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, automotive, to consumer goods – shows how this year’s target of 35,000 seedlings can be reached through collective synergy between area managers, businesses, and local communities, rather than the contribution of just one party.

This activity was also attended by a number of stakeholders, including the Ministry of Environment, the Bekasi Regency Environmental Agency, Bekasi Regency Bappeda, Bekasi Regency Tourism Office, the Muara Gembong sub-district head, the head of Pantai Bahagia Village, as well as the chairman of Pokdarwis Alipbata, who emphasized the synergy between central government, local government, and the community in supporting the sustainability of this program.
