"On June 8, I had the honor to attend the International Seminar organized by the Indonesia Youth Consulting Summit (IYCS) with distinguished speakers Veerappan Swaminathan from Sustainable Living Lab, Rizyan Angga from ADUPI, Zulfikar Fathoni from DSS, Mukhlish Jamal Musa Holle from UGM, Constantine Karel from OCBC, Dr. Yulius from the Ministry of Cooperatives. I learned about the actions taken by companies in integrating ESG principles to enable resilience, enhance reputation and long-term sustainable growth in the business world. ESG is a criterion or framework used to evaluate a company's management system, performance, and behavior in two main aspects: environmental, social and governance. #IYCS #180DCUGM

Abhishek Mittal, Partner-Credit, Aavishkaar Capital will be speaking at the Indonesia PEVC Summit 2025 at the St. Regis Jakarta on Jan 16th on the panel, "Balancing Impact and Alpha in Climate and ESG Investments". Abhishek will be joined by panelists - Nakul Zaveri, Partner and Co-Head of Climate Investment Strategy, LeapFrog Investments, Winston Mandrawa, CFA, Managing Director & Head of ASEAN, Affirma Capital, Lisa Genasci, Managing Director, Sustainable Finance, ADM Capital and will be moderated by Michelle Teo, Senior Journalist & Managing Editor, DealStreetAsia. The topic addresses concerns around rising climate change and the growing need for sustainable solutions have led to the sector garnering investor interest and funding. As financing is starting to flow as more and more funds are mushrooming to transform the economy and protect the environment. Identifying these opportunities is key to deploying capital responsibly and generating strong returns. Private capital, unlike government spending and philanthropic grants, can only be deployed where there are clear, investible opportunities to generate returns. Isolating these opportunities is critical to unlocking a wave of green investments in emerging markets. The panel will also delve into how investors are tapping opportunities in low-carbon technologies across energy, mobility, and agriculture sectors and how can green transition transform South and SE Asian economies. #IndonesiaPEVCSummit2025 #Conference #LeapFrogInvestments #AffirmaCapital #ADMCapital #AavishkaarCapital
