The event was opened by Dharsono Hartono, the Executive Committee of IBCSD & Head of Permanent Committee on Climate Change Kadin Indonesia. “Data from the Ministry of Industry shows that in 2022, emissions from Indonesia’s industrial sector are also dominated by emissions from energy supply. It is only natural, if we as industry players and institutions that are involved in the energy supply sector are able to transition so that our energy supply is far more environmentally friendly”, said Dharsono.

The event featured esteemed and holistic speakers and panelists which represent the stakeholders loop between public and private sectors. The keynote speaker of this event was represented by the Director of Energy Conservation, Directorate General of New, Renewable Energy, and Energy Conservation, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Gigih Udi Atmo. 

In his keynote speech, Gigih highlighted Indonesia’s current target and achievement on decarbonization through energy transition. Indonesia’s main goals in decarbonization in the energy sector is to achieve net zero emission from energy in 2060, with the closest target in 2030 following the issuance of Indonesia’s Enhanced Nationally Determined Contributions (E-NDC). Based on E-NDC, in 2030 the emission reduction from the energy sector is targeted at  358 million ton CO2eq by our own effort and until 2023, this target has been reached up to 35.6% or at 127.67 million ton CO2eq. The current progress is achieved through several means of energy transition approach including the development of new and renewable energy as well as applying energy conservation in various sectors. Aside from current targets and achievements, Gigih also underlines the challenges faced in energy transition, especially in the development of new and renewable energy. Several challenges that were addressed during the event include the availability of technology innovation and its mastery, economical feasibility, readiness of supporting industry, supply and demand issue, as well as readiness for project implementation especially in administrative areas including permit process and land preparation.

The theme setting in Gigih’s speech was further explored through the panel sessions, which featured several key champions in energy transition in Indonesia. They were including Head of Joint Office from Indonesia Energy Transition Taskforce (Rumah PATEN), Edo Mahendra, Head of Energy Transition Taskforce of Indonesia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin Indonesia), Anthony Utomo, Executive Director of Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR), Fabby Tumiwa, and Head of Sustainability of Coca Cola Euro-Pacific Partners Indonesia (CCEPI), Natasha Gabriella.

The inauguration of Indonesia Energy Transition Taskforce (Satgas TEN) earlier this year marked the eagerness of Indonesia in achieving energy transition. In his presentation, Mr. Edo Mahendra shares insight regarding this initiative. Their main function as a collaborative institution consisting of various key champions from several ministries is to accelerate the development of energy transition in Indonesia, this shall include debottlenecking of various challenges faced in energy transition and facilitating business and public initiatives in enhancing energy transition in Indonesia. Two of main products that will be seen in the near future from this initiative are the development of IET (Indonesia Energy Transition) Channel and Energy Transition Hub. Both platforms were expected to have a pivotal function in accelerating Indonesia’s energy transition programs and collaborations between sectors and stakeholders. 

In line with the above national initiative, Kadin Indonesia, as the biggest business association in Indonesia, has also established its own Energy Transition Task Force. To support the national strategy, Anthony Utomo said that Kadin Energy Transition Task Force has three main pillars on transition for Indonesia’s low carbon green industrial ecosystem development, comprising Green Industrial Development Initiative (GIDI), Renewable Energy Manufacturing (REM), and Distributed Energy. Their capital goal is to achieve USD 10.3 million of green industries market valuation by 2050. 

The importance of energy transition and industrial decarbonization is also underlined by Fabby Tumiwa, as representative from one of non-governmental institutions being upfront in various decarbonization and energy transition initiatives. Despite the many challenges explored by his institution, Fabby emphasized that the industrial decarbonization and energy transition will also generate several benefits for the nations, including around 9-30% cost saving opportunities from energy, creation of new target market and increased product competitiveness, potential carbon tax savings with minimum of IDR 30,000/ton CO2eq, creation of up tp 3 millions green job opportunities, improved environmental quality and biodiversity, and reduced need for health subsidies.

Agreeing to the importance of energy transition to achieve national targets as well as obtain potential benefits arising from it, Coca Cola Euro-Pacific Partners Indonesia (CCEPI) as one of prominent industry players has taken a step further in achieving industrial net zero in energy. Natasha said that CCEPI has a very optimistic target to achieve 100% renewable energy across all markets by 2030 as well as achieving net zero emissions (Scope 1,2,3) by 2040. As a realization of this target, CCEPI has invested around IDR 94 billion to develop the largest single-building rooftop solar in Southeast Asia with clean solar energy generation up to 9.6 GWh powering their manufacturing plant and reducing emission up to 8000 tons CO2eq annually. 

It was clear that beyond the very optimistic targets and various barriers that need a collaborative debottlenecking process, Indonesia is in the right direction to advance its energy transition strategy, achieving net zero emissions from the energy sector in 2060. 

As an association that promotes sustainable development, IBCSD is strongly committed to supporting that spirit and expand further through our Integrated Energy Transition Strategy program.

This program has been running for 4 years (2019-2023), and has made a significant contribution to the handling of stunting in Lampung Province. The stunting prevention program initiated by Great Giant Foods (GGF) as an elaboration of the company’s vision “Nourishing People’s Lives with Quality Food Produce in Sustainable and Innovative Way” has been carried out since 2019 together with related parties / stakeholders including the Central Lampung Regency government, community cadres and also non-Government Organization parties. The program started from 2019 to 2023 and has been implemented in 12 villages in Central Lampung Regency and a total of 4,400 beneficiaries. 

This program is carried out with 3 sub-program approaches including diet, parenting and sanitation as well as the implementation of the Rumah Pangan Lestari (RPL) area and socialization. During the program, the company has handed over approximately 8 tons of bananas and around 8000 liters of fresh milk to the beneficiaries. In addition, various efforts are given by the company in contributing to carrying out strategies to reduce stunting by conducting training or training of trainees (ToT) to cadres consisting of health cadres, school cadres and village cadres who are expected to become an extension of program implementation and spread knowledge related to stunting prevention in the community. The monitoring and evaluation process is also carried out every month by observing the continuity of activities and also the percentage of progress from the expected results.

Based on the program, the resulting impacts include being able to increase the height and weight of children with an average increase of 0.7 kg and 3 cm meters. This is an effort to help Central Lampung Regency in order to reduce the prevalence of stunting which in 2013 according to Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) data the prevalence of stunting at 52.68% until 2022 the prevalence of stunting in this district according to data from the Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI) is only 8.7%. This is an achievement to be proud of considering that stunting is the main problem of child malnutrition in Indonesia and overcoming this problem is included in the national government’s strategic plan. 

Appreciation for the implementation of this activity through the Lampung Province Women and Children’s Rights Observer Institute (LPHPA) gave appreciation to Great Giant Foods (GGF) as a company that fulfills 12 responsive indicators in supporting the government, especially in Central Lampung Regency as a Child Friendly District. Through the collaboration program carried out by GGF and the Central Lampung Regency Government in participating in reducing stunting rates, it is hoped that it will improve the welfare of the community, especially mothers and children.

Along with the company’s commitment, the government, in this case the Ministry of Industry through the Green Industry Center, also supports the net zero ambition. “Industry needs to immediately make decarbonization efforts due to climate-related risks and disasters that can disrupt the supply of raw materials, as well as due to demand from the market and regulations that encourage a more environmentally friendly industry,” said Andalia Gustari as Functional Industry Supervisor of the Green Industry Center of the Ministry of Industry.  

“Significant steps through the Enhanced Nationally Determined Contribution increase Indonesia’s emission reduction target from 29% to 31.99%,” as stated by Dharsono Hartono, as Chairman of KADIN NZH in his remarks at the KADIN Net Zero Hub Corporate Assistance Program Graduation Batch 2 event which took place in Jakarta, on Monday, November 27, 2023. He continued, “Industrial decarbonization can be achieved with high commitment. The Kadin NZH Corporate Assistance Program was created to provide a forum for training and realization of decarbonization commitment.”

The event aimed to recognize companies in the adidas supply chain that successfully completed the Corporate Assistance Program (CAP) under the KADIN NZH. CAP is a 5-month intensive technical assistance program aimed at helping companies identify and quantify greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in scopes 1, 2, and 3, while committing to net zero. CAP facilitates training, 1:1 consultations with mentors, industry best practice sharing sessions, pre-assessment, and guidance on the use of tools that have been adapted to the Indonesian context.

“There are 20 companies in the adidas supply chain incubated through CAP batch 2, consisting of industries in the apparel, footwear, finished goods (bags and balls), and raw materials sectors,” said Clorinda Wibowo, Senior Manager of WRI Indonesia. “From these 20 companies, there is a potential carbon reduction of 3.5 million tons of CO2 in 2035 from Scope 1-3. This is a huge impact that we can be proud of our efforts,” she continued.

The launch of KADIN Net Zero Hub in November 2022 at B20 shows the real commitment of Kadin Indonesia in encouraging more private sector participation in decarbonization efforts. KADIN Indonesia collaborates with WRI Indonesia, CDP, IBCSD, and WWF Indonesia in the development of KADIN NZH as a platform to form strategic partnerships and accelerate the development of the net zero ecosystem in Indonesia.

Within the framework of the CAP program, companies receive support to integrate several international standards, such as the GHG Protocol and Science Based Target Initiatives (SBTi). The purpose of implementing these standards is to ensure that all the company’s climate actions are based on a solid scientific basis and in line with the 1.5 degree Celsius pathway, so as to reduce the potential for more severe negative impacts from the climate crisis.

“After committing to SBTi, companies have 24 months to validate the target. During this validation process, companies need to develop several criteria and ensure the target ambition is in line with the 1.5 degree Celsius decarbonization pathway, submit it to SBTi for formal validation, communicate the target to other stakeholders, and finally, disclose to SBTi,” said Ingo Hauter, Account Manager (Reporter Services & Supply Chains) at CDP. “Currently, the trend to disclose to SBTi is growing rapidly in Southeast Asia,” he added.

“The key to achieving net zero targets requires an appropriate strategy,” said Rizkia Sari Yudawinata, Sustainable Finance Program Lead, WWF Indonesia. “After reporting and disclosure, companies need to implement a net zero strategy, one of which can be accelerated by a climate transition financing plan. Rizkia also mentioned the need for companies to seek access to funding through sustainable financing, which has now been developed by various financial institutions.”  

The support from KADIN NZH and its program partners in assisting companies towards net zero is welcomed by companies that have joined and completed the CAP program.

“It started as a simple reason to join the NZH Chamber of Commerce, since our company does not produce a very significant amount of emissions, and our factory has a large roof that is suitable for installing solar panels. As time goes by, everyone is complaining about the earth getting hotter. As a company, we have to take action and this is our chance to commit to net zero,” said Rahardrian Prananditya, Corporate HSE & Sustainability Department Head of PT Apparel One Indonesia.

“This program can help improve efficiency. We have opportunities and potential improvements to make our production system more efficient. We can also find out where the biggest sources of emissions are, so that we can make the right strategies to reduce these emissions,” said Semuel Izaac L., SEA-Labor & HSE Manager of PT Tah Sung Hung.

Going forward, NZH Chamber of Commerce is committed to continue developing the CAP program to support more companies in reducing their carbon emissions. Currently, 81 companies have officially joined KADIN NZH by signing a memorandum of agreement.

It is hoped that more companies will join to support Indonesia’s net zero ambition. “Today’s markets and investors are increasingly interested in businesses that emphasize their commitment to climate change. This not only has a positive impact on the environment and society, but also ensures future business continuity. By joining NZH, companies can get direct support in designing and implementing strategies to achieve climate change targets, especially towards net zero,” said Indah Budiani, Executive Director of IBCSD.
