The Financial Services Authority (OJK) has started the sustainable economy initiative by formulating the 2014-2019 sustainable finance roadmap. Financial services institutions in Indonesia are encouraged to commit and step on the path that has been initiated.

The focus of the 1st and 3rd roadmap targets in the first five-year period is to increase environmentally friendly funding to shape the competitiveness of financial services institutions (FSIs) in the field of sustainable finance; as well as efforts to strengthen the implementation of risk management, good corporate governance (GCG) on environmental and social aspects.

For this reason, OJK together with WWF-Indonesia plan to hold a workshop entitled "The First Step to Start Sustainable Finance".

This workshop for Financial Services Institutions (FSIs) is held to increase capacity and enrich knowledge about sustainable financial sector development, one of which is the integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) in financial activities.

An ESG integration guide has been developed by WWF to support sustainable finance programs in Indonesia. This ESG integration guide workshop is considered important to improve the readiness of Financial Institutions to practice sustainable finance voluntarily in the initial period of the sustainable finance program roadmap that was initiated by OJK in December 2014.

The active role of FSIs to implement ESG integration in their business calculations is highly expected for the creation of a sustainable economy. It is also a fact that the integration of environmental, social and governance issues has a major influence on economic stability and growth.

This workshop is the first step to start that commitment. This step will ensure financial services institutions to participate in the development of a sustainable economy.

Aim
Describe the sustainable finance program in Indonesia and the concrete role of financial services institutions towards the government's targets and commitments in the development of a new economy.

Increase capacity and enrich knowledge around sustainable financial sector development, one of which is the integration of ESG in financial activities.

Helping Financial Institutions to realize the impact of ESG factors in their core business, showing that ESG integration can drive value creation through product innovation, anticipation of new trends, better risk management and more optimal capital allocation as well as being a catalyst for organizational change.

Assist Financial Institutions that are just stepping up or have already started the implementation of sustainable finance on a voluntary basis to prepare their organizations for the effective period of implementation of sustainable finance programs in 2020.
