Driving Sustainable Change: Highlights from the Sustainable Finance Forum in Jakarta

We're thrilled to share the resounding success of the Sustainable Finance Forum: Banking on Change – A Roadmap for a Climate-Aligned Future for Financial Institutions, held on Thursday, 19 June 2025, in Jakarta. This landmark event brought together key business leaders, industry experts, and government officials from across the financial sector, marking a significant step forward in environmental sustainability consulting for the region.
