Through this partnership with Asuene, SMBC Indonesia proves its commitments in supporting the Indonesian government’s initiatives to strengthen regulations on climate risk management. SMBC Indonesia hopes this collaboration will provide customers with added value by supporting them with platform to manage their emissions administration and maintain the historical records.

We see a rising demand for GHG accounting in Indonesia as part of the push toward Net Zero and the 2030 targets. OJK’s new guidelines highlight the critical need for accurate financed emissions measurement by financial institutions. Few banks in ASEAN currently calculate these emissions using primary client data, making this initiative a pioneering step. ASUENE is dedicated to providing efficient solutions to help companies in Indonesia meet regulations and advance sustainability.
