"This is why Indonesia promotes investment frameworks aligned with the ESG principles, ensuring that growth delivers real and lasting benefits for the people," said Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono in Jakarta on Saturday.
Sugiono made the statement in a video recording of his opening remarks on the second day of the "Indonesia International Sustainability Forum (IISF) 2025" in Jakarta.
Furthermore, Indonesia called for increased global collaboration to strengthen value chains through sustainable downstream investment and technology exchange, emphasizing that trade and investment must be fair, inclusive, and provide equal access to markets and financing, the Foreign Minister said.
According to him, developing countries need to take the lead in setting sustainability standards so that minerals from developing countries are recognized globally, by encouraging the implementation of a circular economy through recycling and waste reduction activities.
"We also believe that the energy transition must not deepen inequalities between the resource-rich and the technology-rich," Sugiono said.
Sugiono also emphasized that the energy transition in developing countries must be reliable, a means to technological progress, reflect equity, and serve as a foundation for partnerships.
"Indonesia stands ready to serve as a bridge between developed and developing countries, between technology and resources, and between ambition and action, and as a partner in building real solutions," Sugiono stated.
