For this reason, nickel management by companies based on environmental social governance and downstream programs has become a new concept in nickel management so that nickel resources in Indonesia can attract companies to do business in Indonesia and increase the level of welfare of the Indonesian people. The purpose of this research is to find out and analyze related to the implementation of environmental social governance and downstream in the management of nickel by mining companies in Indonesia.

The concept of environment social governance in managing nickel does not only pay attention to the environment, but mining companies are required to pay attention to social and corporate governance in managing nickel.
