Today, Save the Children is participating in Accenture's sustainability weeks, where their employees across the Nordic region learn about and engage with environmental and social sustainability issues. This week, the focus is on circular economy issues, the future of food, waste reduction and electronic waste. Save the Children is here to talk about their innovation project Circular Geniuses, which they run together with Accenture and Save the Children Indonesia in the city of Makassar on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. Almost 90% of all electronic waste in the world is managed by the informal sector. Individuals, including children, handle the waste and then resell it, and in Makassar alone, at least 200 children between the ages of 6 and 17 are working to manage waste with inadequate equipment. This poses a major risk to their health and well-being. In Circular Geniuses, we support children and families to move away from hazardous waste management, with the long-term goal of sending children to school instead. At our joint program event today, we will explain how the raw material of electronic waste affects children and share how the project has changed the lives of local people. Find out more about Circular Geniuses here: https://accntu.re/4autpcR We are very grateful for this important collaboration, and for the opportunity to raise awareness about the project and children's rights in the context of sustainability, circular economy, and partnership. #SaveTheChildren #SeasonOfImpact #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #AccentureMoments

VP Public Affairs, Communications, and Sustainability for Indonesia at Coca-Cola Europacific Partners
When business leads with purpose, positive impact inevitably follows. Our sustainability journey continues, and no challenge is too large when we done together by all - collaborating in actions. Sure, doubts creep in if we're doing enough. But remembering how individual actions multiply keeps me hopeful. As Margareth Mead said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world." Our efforts create the changes towards a more sustainable environment and society; a common vision that we are all aspiring to. From closing the loop of plastic circularity, optimizing energy efficiency across our value chain to curb our emissions, replenishing water that conserve the nature and empowering communities with skills that allow them to become more economically resilient - we deliver positive impacts for a sustainable development. By putting sustainability at the core of our business, we drive change through a shared sense of possibility. I feel optimistic seeing our partners take ownership of this vision, whether through emissions reductions, renewable energy adoption, or waste management programs. Step by step, we walk this road together - towards healthy communities, thriving ecosystems, and inclusive economic growth for all. Our journey continues, but progress takes root when businesses lead with purpose and people lead with compassion.

Celebrating 37th Anniversary, Equity Life Indonesia encourages all employees to actively participate in preserving the surrounding environment through Jaga Semesta. Throughout August, all employees were sorting and collecting plastic bottles and cups around the workplace, actively contributing to a cleaner environment. The impact? We gathered 22.9 kg of plastic waste, which we responsibly handed over to JAGATERA for recycling. This effort is more than just reducing waste—it's equivalent to cutting down 13,824.15 tons of carbon emissions! Through Jaga Semesta, we're not only caring for the environment but also showing our commitment to our community and also animals. Every small action we take can have a profound impact on the world around us. Let’s continue making big impact through small acts Source: https://lnkd.in/giQad6fD

Surabaya faces a major waste crisis — 1,500 tons of waste per day, but only 2-3 tons are recycled through the city’s 600 waste banks. With 60% of this waste coming from households, the need for better solutions is urgent. That’s where Veritas Edukasi Lingkungan (VEL) Foundation comes in. Led by former journalist and environmental activist Benedict Wermter, VEL is on a mission to reshape how Surabaya and the rest of Indonesia manage waste. At VEL, we believe that education is key to lasting change. That’s why we’re focused on raising awareness about organic and non-organic waste through innovative e-learning platforms and hands-on community programs. Our goal? To reach 100,000 users by next year, equipping them with the knowledge and tools to embrace Reduce, Reuse, Recycle practices and change their consumption habits. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gYeVkGhJ 💡 The time to act is now — let's make Indonesia clean again! 💚🌍♻️ #Sustainability #WasteManagement #VELFoundation #CircularEconomy #WasteReduction #PlasticWaste #ReduceReuseRecycle #MakeIndonesiaCleanAgain

Chairman of Investment Committee at Asosiasi Perusahaan Migas Nasional (Association of Indonesian Oil and Gas Companies)
LIENTERA Sustainable Session presents our latest seminar with the topic "Environmentally Friendly Regional Elections from the Perspective of Indonesia Election Authority" Indonesia will held the largest national event this October, which is Indonesia Regional Election 2024 which will be held across all Indonesia land in 514 Regents and Cities, and 38 Provinces to elect each and every Regents, Cities, and Provinces. The government will allow all participants to campaign simultaneously during one month period before the voting. The amount of waste that will be generated from this event is so great that if we took only Manado city as an example from their last election in 2019, the amount of paper used is equivalent to more than 6700 trees, and if the billboard used (mostly made with plastic) laid down on the ground, it will cover more than 28% of the city itself. The Indonesia Election Authority will have to collaborate with the Environment Ministry and the stakeholders to design a Green Election Event that will minimize the environmental impact backed up by a strong regulations, educations, digitalized monitoring system, and participation from institutions specialized in recycling, carbon projects, as well as the whole Indonesia people and most importantly the election participants themselves. Here's below the link to the full discussion: https://lnkd.in/gEvKSvi2 LIENTERA (Lembaga Inovasi Energi Teknologi Nusantara) is an independent non-profit agency that focuses on research and adoption of sustainable technologies in all sectors. We work together with the government institutions and all stakeholders to make our nation greener through the right policies and technologies. #pilkada #indonesia #greenelection

Like 66% of the world's population, I am convinced that when it comes to ecological transformation, choosing action will cost us less than choosing inaction. Here in Indonesia, we contributed by converting 1.2 billion post-consumer plastic bottles per year into food-grade recycled plastic resin that is versatile across multiple applications.

A recent study by Kantar, a UK-based insights firm, revealed a promising trend - 72% of consumers in major cities like Jakarta adopt sustainable shopping habits. However, this awareness is often limited to urban centers. To achieve a truly sustainable future, it's crucial to broaden the conversation and encourage conscious behavior across all regions in Indonesia. Integrating sustainable practices into all aspects of life is critical. Happy Hearts Indonesia is committed to this mission, and we invite you to join us! Become a Changemaker Today! When you support Happy Hearts Indonesia, you directly contribute to reducing plastic waste and lowering carbon emissions. Each school we build utilizes recycled plastic waste equivalent to 2-4 tons, and through sustainable construction methods, we help mitigate at least 10 tons of carbon emissions that contribute to global warming.
