“In this year’s Awards, unfortunately we don’t have a winner in the climate change category. This isn’t because there weren’t any businesses working on the issue. Yes, we have many companies with great initiatives to concur the climate change issue, but we need more.,” Shinta Kamdani, President of IBCSD. “All businesses – especially those that to date have been silent on the threat of environmental and social challenges – need to step-up to raise ambition and actions to tackle the problems, to achieve our sustainable development goals,” she continues.
In his keynote speech, Mr. Suharso M. the minister of National Development Planning Indonesia (BAPPENAS) put emphasis on the importance of SDGs, quote “SDGs is a business opportunity, not a business burden. SDGs is an investment opportunity for creating higher returns in the future”.

The Conflict Resolution Unit of the Indonesia Business Council for Sustainable Development in cooperation with the LEOPALD project of GIZ is currently developing a series of educational materials (a toolkit) for stakeholders in oil palm plantations. These materials are expected to support initiatives to develop equitable partnerships between farmers and corporations and/or resolving conflicts among them.
Key stakeholders have been identified as a segmented audience, namely plantation corporations, communities, local governments, NGOs working with those communities, and mediators who might mediate conflicts in the plantation sector. For each of these specific learning materials will be developed. It is expected that these learning materials will support the efforts to build sustainable and fair partnerships and conflict resolution processes.
To support this initiative, CRU is seeking an expert in learning materials development to bring his/her perspectives and insights to the efforts as a consultant.
Responsibilities, but not limited to:
Ensure that the materials produced are educationally appropriate to each audience segment both in design and content.
