Here's to long and committed relationships that grow and bear fruit, such as the one that we at the Alliance to End Plastic Waste have built with the government and people of Indonesia. Our continued engagement in Indonesia has led us to Bali today.     On the sidelines of the #10thworldwaterforum, I signed a three-party agreement that will make a significant difference to lives and livelihoods in Indonesia.     In partnership with the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (MPWH), Indonesia, we have established a co-investment partnership to provide integrated solid waste management (SWM) services in select cities and districts  in up to 12 regencies in Indonesia.     Over the next five years, AIIB will facilitate funding of USD150 million toward this project, which will be implemented by the Directorate General of Human Settlements at MPWH.     This partnership will enable the Alliance to contribute additional concessional resources, over and above the USD36 million we have already committed to Indonesia.   We didn't get to this point — together — without time, effort, commitment, and many shared challenges. And I'm so proud that our collective efforts have brought us to this moment in Indonesia.     #endplasticwaste #collaboration #catalysingimpact #circulareconomy #AIIB 

Circular economy initiatives can be designed to include marginalized groups, providing them with opportunities for employment and participation in the local economy. Educating the community about the benefits of circular practices can lead to increased participation in recycling programs and sustainable consumption habits. OCS Indonesia provides a second chance for underprivileged people who have limitations in the economic and educational fields, thereby reducing economic opportunities and many of them under generational poverty. Providing technical and vocational education and training (TVET) opportunities to our frontliners employed from local communities and upgrading their skills not only with standard facility services but also digitalization and ESG-based circular economy solutions through our #BottomUpMovement (reuse, repair, refurbish, recycle, and repurpose), we are on mission to making people and places the best they can be, aligning with the UK Trade Mission in ASEAN, particularly Green Economy and Education. We will extend the mission we brought during Green Economy Expo at the beginning of July 2024 to #WorldWorkplaceAPAC (World Workplace Asia Pacific Conference) forum in Singapore next week.

🤝Collaboration Between Local Government and Private Sector ♻️ On October 22, 2024 (Jakarta), Recovered Indonesia was invited by UNDP Indonesia and Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas Republic of Indonesia to represent the private sector as an integrated recycler at a strategic discussion on strengthening integrated waste management. 🌱 This collaboration highlights our mutual commitment to tackling waste management challenges through effective partnerships between public and private sectors, particularly in underserved coastal cities in Indonesia, where we have achieved significant success in Ambon and Makassar. During the discussion, we identified several key areas for improvement to create lasting, community-centered impact: - Enhancing Public-Private Partnership (PPP) knowledge - Addressing regional disparities At RECO, we believe in the power of collaboration to drive sustainable change.

A truly enlightening morning at the Hukumonline Executive Breakfast last week, where I had the privilege of listening to Pak Eko Cahyanto, Secretary General of the Kementerian Perindustrian Republik Indonesia share the government's vision for a sustainable industrial future. Indonesia’s impressive standing as a global manufacturing powerhouse, as highlighted by its ranking as the 12th largest manufacturing country by value added (The World Bank) and the 10th largest with a 1.4% Global Manufacturing Output (Safeguard Global) sets a strong foundation. Pak Eko’s presentation delved into the government’s strategic roadmap outlined in the Regulation of the Government No 14 of 2015 on the National Industry Development Master Plan, as well as the upcoming government’s missions that prioritizes #GreenIndustry. It was fascinating to learn about the government's initiatives in fostering green economy, promoting circular economy principles, and accelerating #decarbonization efforts. Pak Eko provided valuable insights into the investment climate, highlighting opportunities in green ammonia, green hydrogen, and Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage #CCUS. Fun fact: The Ministry of Industry's logo - two green leaves and a gear, represents the perfect harmony between #sustainability and industrial progress. #ESG https://lnkd.in/d-gCruEV

✅ Day 8 of the UNITAR's Free and Open Indo-Pacific (17 Sep 2024) Key Highlights: ✅ My key takeaway for Blue Economy is to take care of our ocean health to sustain our ocean wealth. ✅ In order to do this, we must advocate for an in-depth understanding of the ocean's value and we need to use, and produce from it sustainably. ✅ I learned more about bootstrapping versus fundraising and how to use it in doing financing for blue initiatives. ✅ I like the pitching checklist presented in our fundraising and pitching session because I think that it was an objective way to evaluate one's performance. Overall, I like the mix of the sessions today because it follows logically that in order for us to advocate for blue economy, we should have known it's concepts further, try to mobilize resources in line with its initiatives and as the leader, to effectively deliver our speech to possible partners. #FOIP #FOIPJakarta #LeadersforFOIP #SeaSecurity #HumanSecurity #AsiaPacific #RegionalCooperation

Retail investors play a pivotal role in driving green financing and promoting sustainability. In my recent article published in Kontan, Friday, 15 November 2024 (in Bahasa), I emphasized the importance of increasing participation from retail investors in supporting environmentally-friendly projects and ensuring the availability of adequate green financing instruments. Governments and corporations must work hand in hand to introduce innovative and accessible green investment options that cater to the growing demand for sustainable finance. Initiatives like retail green sukuk and SDGs bonds are a step forward, but the involvement of corporate issuers is equally essential to diversify the market and meet broader sustainability goals. Let’s continue to advocate for a greener future by empowering investors and fostering transparency in sustainable financing practices.
