Soltius Indonesia was proud to be a key partner in the "Green Revolution Tour 2025," an impactful multi-city roadshow co-hosted with YASH Technologies APAC and SAP Indonesia. On Tuesday, August 12, 2025, the SAP Indonesia office hosted a high-energy, half-day event guided by the theme, "The Future of Sustainability Is Intelligent."
The future of sustainability for Indonesian companies is intelligent and integrated. It will be defined by a shift from a reactive, compliance-focused mindset to a proactive, value-creation-focused one. The adoption of AI, cloud-based platforms, and real-time data analytics will be critical in this transformation, enabling companies to:
Embed Sustainability into Core Operations: Sustainability will become a fundamental part of business strategy, not just a separate initiative. This involves using technology to integrate ESG data directly into financial and operational decision-making.
Create a Competitive Advantage: Companies that successfully master this shift will gain a significant competitive edge, attracting talent, investors, and customers who prioritize ethical and sustainable practices.
Contribute to National Goals: By embracing sustainable practices, Indonesian companies will play a vital role in the country's journey toward achieving its national development and climate change mitigation goals.
The tour brought together top experts and visionary leaders to discuss how technology is redefining the future of sustainability. Our President Director, Mr. Bernardy Suhendra, emphasized the shift from compliance to competitive advantage.
Echoing this sentiment,
Adding to this, Mr. Yogesh Nagpal, Head of EHS and Sustainability from YASH Technologies, provided a compelling perspective from the co-host's point of view. "The Green Revolution Tour will bring together purpose-built sustainability solutions and refreshed insights on a practical implementation approach," said Nagpal. "This will help define the right strategy, set achievable goals, reduce direct and indirect emissions, navigate evolving regulations, and embed sustainability into daily operations."
Navigating Evolving Regulations: As the government and agencies like the Financial Services Authority (OJK) introduce stricter ESG reporting standards, companies face the challenge of keeping up with new compliance requirements and frameworks.
Balancing Sustainability with Growth: Companies, particularly Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), often struggle with the perception that investing in sustainability is a cost burden rather than a value driver. The initial capital investment for implementing new green technologies can be a significant barrier.
Data and Technology Integration: Many businesses lack the integrated systems and technological infrastructure to effectively track and report on their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance in real-time. This can lead to a reliance on manual processes and inaccurate reporting.
Greenwashing and Transparency: With increased consumer and investor scrutiny, there is a growing risk of being accused of "greenwashing." Companies must ensure their sustainability claims are backed by transparent, verifiable data and genuine actions.
Enhanced Brand Reputation and Consumer Trust: Proactive sustainability efforts build trust and loyalty with a new generation of environmentally conscious consumers. A strong commitment to ESG can significantly differentiate a brand in a competitive market.
Operational Efficiency and Cost Savings: Implementing intelligent sustainability solutions—such as AI-powered energy management or optimized supply chains—can lead to reduced waste, lower energy consumption, and significant cost savings.
Access to New Capital: Strong ESG performance is a key factor for domestic and international investors. Demonstrating a commitment to sustainability opens up opportunities for green financing, sustainable bonds, and attracts a broader base of investors.
Future-Proofing the Business: Early adoption of sustainability practices ensures compliance with future regulations and positions companies for long-term resilience against climate-related risks and market changes
Soltius Indonesia is committed to partnering with businesses to make this vision a reality, helping them not only meet future demands but also secure a competitive edge in a sustainable world.
