Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of environmental and social risk mitigation strategies in the nickel mining industry operating in Raja Ampat. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the research analyzes key risks such as water pollution, biodiversity damage, and social conflict with indigenous communities. Data were collected from company reports, stakeholder interviews, and incident records from January to March 2024. The analysis uses risk matrices and Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) to measure outcomes and assess mitigation progress. The results indicate partial control of environmental risks and ongoing challenges in social engagement. The study underscores the need for stronger stakeholder communication, adaptive mitigation plans, and alignment with sustainability standards in sensitive ecological zones.
