From the Idea Room to the Stage of Achievement: Phapros' Lean Innovation Journey Closing the Year 2025

Philosophy of Risk and Innovation Risk is born from the human desire to achieve goals. Every plan, no matter how well composed, always carries uncertainty. This uncertainty is often perceived as an obstacle that slows down, tests, or even causes steps to fail. However, in essence, risk does not always mean failure; hidden behind it are often opportunities that actually encourage the birth of new ideas and greater progress. Through risk measurement, mitigation, and evaluation, humans learn about optimism and resilience. From this process, innovation is born as a creative response to negotiate uncertainty and give new meaning to challenges. Risk is not the end of the journey, but a space for new possibilities to grow.

In the context of leadership, risk and innovation become the main arenas where wisdom and strategic thinking are tested. A leader's instinct to maintain sustainability, create value, and act fairly becomes the foundation for the birth of meaningful innovation—not just change, but innovation that increases the value and sustainability of the organization.

LUMINA and Internal Transformation Answering the increasingly complex business dynamics, Kimia Farma Holding presents LUMINA—Innovation and Risk Mitigation Festival—as a reflective yet progressive space. LUMINA serves as a symbol of the company's commitment to responding to change with awareness, readiness, and wisdom. This initiative affirms a new perspective that risk is not merely a threat, but a source of learning that births innovation.

On Friday, August 15, 2025, LUMINA was officially socialized to all Phapros personnel. This momentum strengthened the strategic steps previously taken by Phapros through the restructuring of the Innovation Commission (KOIN) into the Corporate Lean Innovation Team at the National Coordination Meeting in early 2023. This transformation marks a shift from sporadic innovation towards innovation that is more systemic and grounded. Post-socialization, internal collaboration became increasingly palpable through active discussions in the Lean Innovation Team WhatsApp group to prepare for participation in various prestigious events.

Achievements and Awards Under the leadership of Bagus Giant Hendra Permana, the Lean Innovation Team was able to be orchestrated harmoniously, making innovation a directed collective movement. The following are the achievements earned by Phapros:

• LUMINA Festival 2025 (December 10, 2025): Phapros successfully won four awards.

  2nd Place in the The Most Impactful in Risk Innovation Mitigation (Group) category was won by Team KUATI.

  • 3rd Place in the same category was won by Team DEXLITE.

  • 3rd Place in the personal category was won by Ganang Saputra.

  • 3rd Place in the The Most Inspiring Risk Associate category was won by the Risk Management & GCG Department under the leadership of Dendy Haryadhie.

  • Innovation Awards 2025 (UNNES): Phapros won 3rd Place in the Environmentally Impactful Industry category, affirming the company's commitment as a learning industry open to research collaboration.

• Closing the Year with Growth Closing the year 2025, the Lean Innovation Team held the InnoVVard Lean Enterprise 2025 Convention. Throughout the year, the number of innovation proposals grew by 43.37% compared to 2024. Management targets were successfully exceeded with an estimated value creation reaching Rp9.04 billion. Structural strengthening was also carried out through the addition of Quality Assurance field verifiers under the coordination of Bhisma Akbar Pradana.

This achievement received direct appreciation from the Acting (Plt.) President Director of PT Phapros Tbk, Ida Rahmi Kurniasih, who emphasized the importance of continuous learning and improved innovation governance. The contribution of innovation is reflected in sales growth above 20%, as well as margins and EBITDA exceeding the RKAP.

Phapros' Lean Innovation journey throughout 2025 proves that innovation is not just a competition, but a collective learning process that becomes the foundation of company sustainability.
