Astra Supports the Indonesia Pavilion at COP 28 Dubai, Contributing to Climate Action

DUBAI: Demonstrating its commitment to combating climate change, Astra continues to support the Indonesia Pavilion at the Conference of the Parties (COP). This year’s COP 28 is taking place in Expo City Dubai, United Arab Emirates, from November 30 to December 12, 2023.

The Indonesia Pavilion’s theme is “Indonesia’s Climate Actions: Inspiring The World”. This theme is further divided into four sub-themes: stronger new renewable energy commitments, robust climate action in land-based sectors, inspiring finance and technology innovations, and solid collaborative climate action for people’s prosperity. Astra Director Gita Tiffani Boer participated as a speaker at a talk show session titled “Support Indonesia’s Transition to a Sustainable Future: Private Sector Contribution in Climate Action and Partners” today (11/30).

“Astra’s support for the Indonesia Pavilion at COP 28 aligns with our dedication to sustainability and combating climate change. Astra has outlined the Astra 2030 Sustainability Aspirations, aiming to transition towards a more sustainable business model that strengthens the Indonesian economy and fosters an inclusive and prosperous society,” said Astra Director Gita Tiffani Boer.

The Astra 2030 Sustainability Aspirations, comprising ten sustainability goals, guide Astra Group’s journey towards becoming a more sustainable company by 2030 and beyond.

In 2022, Astra reduced its scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 10%, achieved a 43% renewable energy mix to support operational activities, and increased business resilience with non-coal revenue reaching 74%

To realize the abovementioned aspirations, Astra is transforming its business through three Resilient Strategies:

• Resilient Portfolio: Astra is diversifying its portfolio to support Indonesia’s macro-decarbonization transition by developing renewable energy and an electric vehicle ecosystem.

Astra encourages communities to adopt a sustainable lifestyle and helps them mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change through the Kampung Berseri Astra Proklim (Climate Village Program) and social forestry programs.

Astra’s dedication to making a positive impact on climate change for Indonesia’s present and future is in line with Astra’s mission to Prosper with the Nation while supporting Indonesia’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
