Business leaders at ISF 2025 say sustainable investment will power economic resilience, job creation, and industrial transformation across Indonesia’s green value chain
JAKARTA, Indonesia (MNTV) – The Indonesia International Sustainability Forum (ISF) 2025 concluded with significant achievements: the signing of 13 Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) and the launch of three declarations, reports Eco Business.
These signify a firm commitment from various stakeholders to advancing sustainable investment. The total value of commitments reached Rp278 trillion ($17.6 billion), spanning research collaborations to financing in sectors such as clean energy, marine ecosystems, carbon markets, forestry and green infrastructure.
The forum marked a decisive shift from dialogue to action, with stakeholders actively contributing to Indonesia’s transition toward a green economy. These commitments came not only from domestic and global corporations, but also from international financial institutions, development partners, and both central and regional governments.
“The signing of 13 MoUs at ISF 2025 is expected to directly accelerate Indonesia’s clean energy transition and low-carbon economic development,” stated Rachmat Kaimuddin, Deputy for Basic Infrastructure Coordination at the Coordinating Ministry for Infrastructure and Regional Development.
“This collaboration demonstrates that Indonesia is no longer in a passive position. We are leading, bridging national development needs with global sustainability agendas. ISF has evolved into a cross-sectoral platform that transforms ambition into tangible action.”
Nurul Ichwan, Deputy for Investment Promotion at the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry/Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), said that the MoUs signed at ISF 2025 encompass various forms of cooperation, ranging from strategic partnerships and grants to new investment commitments.
ISF showcased Indonesia’s leadership as a developing nation through concrete initiatives, including floating solar power development, sustainable coastal zone planning, industrial decarbonisation, and blue economy empowerment through commodities such as seaweed.
Shinta W. Kamdani, Vice Chair for Human Development, Culture, and Sustainable Development at the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN), said the MoUs prove that Indonesian businesses are ready to drive the green transition. “Green investment not only strengthens economic growth but also creates vast opportunities for MSMEs, job creation, and industrial transformation toward greater resilience and sustainability.”
