PT Telkom Indonesia has reinforced its commitment to sustainable practices by planting 20,000 mangrove seedlings across two coastal regions: Desa Kedungmalang in Jepara, Central Java, and Desa Golo Sepang in Manggarai Barat, East Nusa Tenggara. This initiative aligns with the observance of International Mangrove Conservation Day on July 26 and International Nature Conservation Day on July 28.

The mangrove planting is a tangible implementation of Telkom's GoZero – Sustainability Action initiative, specifically under the Save Our Planet pillar, which focuses on climate change mitigation through environmental conservation. Beyond reducing erosion risks and aiding carbon emission absorption, the program also supports TelkomGroup's commitment to maintaining ecological balance in areas where the company operates and has digital infrastructure.

Various green initiatives undertaken by TelkomGroup also support sustainable economic development through environmental preservation, community empowerment, and the creation of long-term value.
