PT Bumi Serpong Damai Tbk (BSDE) has achieved recognition at the FORTUNE Indonesia Summit 2026, which featured the themes of Integrated, Elevated, and Empowered. These themes reflect the company’s maturity in corporate governance, innovation, and the empowerment of human resources and communities. During the event, the “FORTUNE Indonesia - Change the World” award was presented to companies that have successfully implemented Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) programmes in a sustainable manner whilst delivering positive impact to stakeholders. The award was presented by Hendra Soeprajitno, Editor-in-Chief of Fortune Indonesia, and received by Ricardo Arif Dharmawan, Corporate Secretary of BSDE, on 12 February 2026 at The Westin Hotel, Jakarta.

The FORTUNE Indonesia - Change the World assessment was based on several criteria, including social impact aspects measured by the scope, nature, and impact generated by the company regarding specific social issues; business results, namely the benefits realised by both the company and stakeholders; innovation impact, the extent to which initiatives influence and inspire others or the industry; and integration, how initiatives become part of company values and are implemented sustainably.

Hermawan Wijaya, Director of PT Bumi Serpong Damai Tbk, stated: “This award from FORTUNE Indonesia – Change the World is evidence of BSDE’s commitment to integrating sustainability principles into the company’s strategy and business operations. We believe that long-term growth can only be achieved through strong governance, continuous innovation, and meaningful contribution to the environment and society. This achievement not only reinforces our position as one of Indonesia’s leading property companies at the national level but also affirms BSDE’s role in promoting sustainable development practices in Indonesia. Through various integrated ESG initiatives, we continue to deliver products and environments that provide added value to consumers whilst creating long-term positive impact for communities.”

The Local Agriculture Partnership programme is implemented through agricultural cultivation in partnership with local farmers in Rumpin District, Bogor Regency.
