Surveyor Indonesia and Batik Capital Collaborate to Promote Green Financing

PT Surveyor Indonesia (Persero) is collaborating with Batik Capital Connect Pte. Ltd. to promote financing for environmentally friendly projects and inclusive economic initiatives. This partnership aims to strengthen the ESG ecosystem and sustainable finance in Indonesia.

The cooperation responds to challenges such as climate change, development inequalities, and the need for financing that is not only growth-oriented but also delivers tangible societal impacts. The primary focus is on developing sustainable projects with economic and environmental value.

Director of Commerce and Operations at PT Surveyor Indonesia, Euis Emalia Noor, stated that strengthening the sustainable finance ecosystem must provide direct benefits to society. “For us, strengthening the sustainable finance ecosystem is not just about building a credible system, but ensuring that every initiative promoted delivers real impacts, whether in the form of a better environment, more equitable economic opportunities, or more sustainable development,” said Euis in her statement in Jakarta on Thursday (16/4/2023).

Through this collaboration, both parties are promoting the emergence of more impactful projects, from green infrastructure to expanding access to green sector financing. Additionally, strengthening standards for transparency, governance, and impact measurement is a focus to ensure broader benefits.

Founder and Managing Director of Batik Capital Connect, Adam M Grabow, assessed that the main challenge currently is not the availability of projects, but the utilisation of data for financing decisions. “A lot of data and initiatives are already available, but not yet fully structured and aligned with the needs of financial institutions. By strengthening the connection between verified outcomes and capital requirements, we can unlock opportunities for financing to truly flow to impactful projects,” said Adam.

This synergy also opens broader collaboration opportunities with the government and development financing institutions. This approach is expected to make implemented programmes more integrated and targeted.

Through this step, both parties target the acceleration of the transition to a low-carbon economy in Indonesia. Additionally, the transformation process is hoped to be more inclusive and provide direct benefits to society.
