Net Zero Transition Transforms CFO Role into Business Transformation Driver

The Indonesia Business Council for Sustainable Development (IBCSD) held an Exclusive Roundtable Dialogue: CFO Strategies for the Net Zero Era – Maintaining Profitability, Financing Access, and Competitiveness, on Wednesday (24/6). The event brought together Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) from IBCSD member companies and networks, along with strategic partners from the financial and sustainability reporting sectors, to discuss the implications of the transition to a low-carbon economy on corporate business and financing strategies.

The forum was held amidst increasing demands for businesses to strengthen business resilience by integrating sustainability aspects into investment decision-making, risk management, and long-term growth strategies.

Regulatory developments, rising investor expectations, and demands for global supply chain decarbonisation are making the CFO’s role increasingly strategic in ensuring that the net-zero agenda can be translated into investment decisions that are realistic, bankable, and capable of strengthening corporate competitiveness.
