Center for Economic & Financial Development

The Center for Economic & Financial Development (CEFD) is an integral part of the Indonesian Business Council (IBC). As a CEO-led association, the IBC comprises companies operating in Indonesia, all committed to promoting sustainable development through three key pillars:

  1. Sustainable Economic Growth: The CEFD actively supports initiatives that drive economic prosperity while ensuring long-term viability. By fostering innovation, investment, and entrepreneurship, the CEFD contributes to Indonesia’s economic resilience.
  2. Ecological Balance: Recognizing the importance of environmental stewardship, the CEFD collaborates with member companies to implement eco-friendly practices. From resource conservation to responsible waste management, the CEFD champions sustainability.
  3. Social Progress: The CEFD prioritizes social well-being. Through community engagement, education, and inclusive policies, it strives to enhance the quality of life for all Indonesians. By addressing social challenges, the CEFD ensures that progress benefits everyone.

IBC’s Commitment

The IBC, in alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), emphasizes the long-term goals of society. CEOs from the IBC have signed the “Compact for Responsive and Responsible Leadership,” recognizing that corporations thrive when they align their objectives with societal needs1. By measuring and disclosing meaningful aspects of performance related to environmental, social, and governance matters, the IBC aims to create shared and sustainable value.

Advancing Sustainable Metrics

At its summer 2019 meeting, the IBC launched a project to propose a common set of metrics and disclosures. These would allow IBC members to align their mainstream reporting consistently, reducing fragmentation and encouraging progress toward a globally accepted solution for non-financial reporting. By converging existing ESG standards, the IBC seeks to accelerate positive impact and promote stakeholder capitalism.

As the IBC continues its mission, the CEFD remains at the forefront of economic and financial development, driving positive change for Indonesia and beyond.
