“Ultimately, the most valuable asset that Pertamina / BP can develop in the Bintuni Bay region is trust. Developing and
safeguarding that asset will be vital to the success of the project for
both the companies involved and the people of Papua”

The Landscape at the Time
Context
• Social dynamics from community post AMDAL approval by GoI in 2002 led
to community’s hopes and expectations of Tangguh LNG
• Tensions caused by an accumulation of unresolved grievances (i.e civil unrest, asset & personnel detention, trespassing)
• No mechanism provided to the community to channel aspirations as well as address grievances
• Requirements from AMDAL and Lenders
Objectives of the Workplace Grievance Procedure

Ongoing Challenges
• Preference for verbal delivery of concerns and needs; additionally, expectation of instantaneous response
• High rate of community illiteracy
• The geographical remoteness of certain areas present logistical challenge re collection of grievance card and response
• High community expectation of Tangguh LNG benefit resulting in
‘blurring’ between what are grievances and aspirations
