Bandung, 16 Oktober 2025 - PT Danareksa (Persero), or the Danareksa SOE Holding, is committed to supporting the strengthening of the blue carbon ecosystem through the management and optimization of sustainable green industrial parks. The blue carbon initiative launched by the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) is expected to contribute to joint efforts in mitigating climate change, while also delivering business impact and benefits to communities surrounding the industrial areas managed by the Danareksa SOE Holding.
This commitment was conveyed by Danareksa SOE Holding President Director, Yadi Jaya Ruchandi during Focus Group Discussion (FGD) bertajuk “Karbon Biru dan Land Value Capture for Sustainable Coastal Development: Global Best Practices and Challenges” an event organized by the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) in Bandung today (16/10). This forum is a follow-up to the strategic partnership between KKP and the Danareksa SOE Holding in formulating policies for the Development and Capacity Enhancement Plan of Industrial Areas in the Northern Coast of Java.
On that occasion, Yadi explained that the integration of the blue carbon concept is a key component of the industrial park development strategy oriented toward sustainability. Through collaboration with the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP), the Danareksa SOE Holding plans to implement conservation and rehabilitation efforts along the coastal areas of its industrial parks to generate both economic and social impacts.
As an implementation step, three industrial parks under the Danareksa SOE Holding—PT Kawasan Berikat Nusantara (KBN), PT Kawasan Industri Wijayakusuma (KIW), and PT Kawasan Industri Terpadu Batang (KITB)—will play an active role in carrying out the initiative on the ground.
‘This approach is expected to further reinforce the Danareksa SOE Holding’s commitment to realizing ‘Net Zero Emission’, enhance global investment attractiveness, and open access green funding, empower communities surrounding industrial parks through conservation activities, and create new sources of revenue from carbon credit,’ Yadi explained.
For reference, blue carbon refers to carbon stored in coastal and marine ecosystems such as mangroves, seagrass meadows, and salt marshes. These ecosystems are capable of absorbing and storing large amounts of CO₂, both in plant biomass and in seabed sediments.
Going forward, the industrial park development strategy within the Danareksa SOE Holding will be directed toward the implementation of a circular economy (circular economy), the use of renewable energy, and the integration of blue carbon projects into industrial park governance. Therefore, we invite all stakeholders to collaborate in realizing blue carbon initiatives within industrial parks that also deliver benefits to the economy and society, in line with the Asta Cita agenda,’ Yadi concluded.
