Overview
PT TBS Energi Utama Tbk (IDX: TOBA), historically known as PT Toba Bara Sejahtra Tbk, is an Indonesian publicly listed company that is transitioning from its coal-mining origins to become a developer of sustainable infrastructure across Asia. The company began in 2007 as PT Buana Persada Gemilang and adopted the name PT Toba Bara Sejahtra Tbk in 2010 as it expanded its coal business through three adjacent mining concessions in Sangasanga, East Kalimantan. It listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2012. Today, TBS operates businesses spanning waste management, renewable energy, and electric mobility, while responsibly managing its remaining coal operations through the transition. The company operates in Singapore and across Indonesia, including Lampung, Batam, East Kalimantan, and West Java, with more than 1,700 employees. Guided by its long-term strategy, Towards a Better Society (TBS2030), TBS is redirecting capital toward low-carbon assets. In August 2026, TBS became the first company to receive the Green Equity Transition designation from the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), reviewed by S&P Global Ratings. The company has also established the TBS Foundation as a platform to develop green talent through quality education, thought leadership and advocacy, and impact capital. TBS aims for carbon neutrality by 2030.
