Astra is strengthening its commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive work environment. This is achieved through various initiatives supporting the development of women’s leadership within the Astra Group.

One such initiative is the Astra Women Network 2026 event, themed “Women Empowered: From Empowerment to Impact,” held at Menara Astra, Jakarta, on Tuesday (12/5/2026).

This theme reflects Astra’s spirit that women’s empowerment does not stop at opening opportunities for growth, but extends to real contributions and impacts for the environment, the company, and the nation.

Attendees included Deputy Minister of Public Works Diana Kusumastuti, Astra Director Gita Tiffani Boer, as well as Astra executives and Astra Group representatives, who inspired Indonesian women, including Astra women, to remain empowered and provide benefits to their surroundings.

“I convey my appreciation and respect to Astra through the Astra Women Network 2026, which consistently provides spaces for collaboration, learning, and strengthening the capacity of Indonesian women. This initiative shows that women’s empowerment is no longer just a social agenda but has become an important part of the strategy for human resource development and national sustainability,” said Deputy Minister of Public Works Diana Kusumastuti.

“Astra is committed to continuing to encourage the creation of a more inclusive environment and opening more opportunities for women to play roles and contribute optimally in the organisation. Through the Astra Women Network, we hope that more Astra women will develop and provide positive contributions to the environment, the company, and the nation,” said Astra Director Gita Tiffani Boer.

The Astra Women Network 2026 featured inspirational speakers, including Grab Indonesia CEO Neneng Goenadi and Chair of the Astra Women Management as well as AstraPay CEO Rina Apriana, who shared experiences and lessons for Astra women to continue growing, boldly taking on leadership roles, and creating positive impacts in their surroundings.

Since 2025, Astra Women have implemented various women’s leadership strengthening programmes through mentoring and learning activities involving participants from various companies within the Astra Group, both through in-class training sessions, one-on-one mentoring, and group mentoring focused on strengthening women’s leadership capabilities as well as other developments through various diversity and inclusion programmes. By 2025, the representation of female employees in the Astra Group in supervisory positions and above reached 20.33%. In addition, there are 33 women serving as Directors in the Astra Group or equivalent to 17.37% of the total Board of Directors.

The Astra Women community is expected to serve as a platform for collaboration, sharing inspiration, and a support system for women throughout the Astra Group ecosystem, while also providing positive impacts for society.

Astra’s spirit in supporting diversity and inclusivity through the Astra Women community aligns with Astra’s aspirations to prosper together with the nation and support Indonesia’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
