BUMN INTERNATIONAL SUMMIT EMPHASIZES COMMITMENT TO ENERGY TRANSITION

 

An international conference was conducted by the State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Ministry to reaffirm the BUMN commitment to assisting with the energy transition, putting energy sustainability principles into practice in the future, and preserving the economy.

According to a communiqué received in Jakarta on Thursday, the "BUMN International Conference: Driving Sustainable and Inclusive Growth" took place at the Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center (BNDCC), Nusa Dua, Bali, on Monday (October 17, 2022).

Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment, Erick Thohir, the Minister of BUMN, as well as the boards of directors of other state-owned businesses, all attended the ceremony. Ma'ruf Amin, the vice president, spoke by video at the occasion.

Pandjaitan praised the significant function of BUMN in Indonesia in his address. He claims that government-owned businesses have made significant contributions in a variety of areas, including the economy, the health sector, and particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.

He added that Indonesia has undergone a number of changes that call for BUMN's assistance. State-owned businesses thus play two key roles: they create value and promote development.

In every region of the nation, state-owned businesses are supposed to offer the commodities and services that the entire population need.

According to Pertamina President Director Nicke Widyawati, the major topic of conversation at the international conference was the issue of energy transition.

She stated that Pertamina is one of the BUMN that is very committed to implementing the energy transition and that Pertamina has made a number of actions to help this.

According to her, Pertamina aspires to be a well-known, leading global energy firm with a solid reputation for being socially conscious, environmentally conscious, and operating with good corporate governance.

In order to promote business sustainability in the future, Widyawati continued, "Pertamina has committed to implementing the environmental, sustainability, and governance (ESG) framework in all lines of the company's operations.
