Sustainability Professionals in Indonesia: A First Showcase

As the Indonesian ESG and sustainability landscape grows, so does the demand for expertise. There is currently a large gap in the demand for sustainability professionals, and the availability of local talents. We are receiving weekly requests from investor clients, partners who are looking to develop their capacity and human resources in sustainability and therefore search for individual key talents to join this effort.

We are proud to always actively contribute in advancing Indonesia’s ESG and Sustainability efforts through impact-related capacity building, maintaining an active network of impact investors, and developing market intelligences regarding sustainability. We witnessed the success of our previous showcase and market landscaping (Checkout our report! : 66 People and Organizations Moving Social Entrepreneurship and Impact Investment in Indonesia ) (Checkout our report! : 40 Women Leaders shaping Gender Lens Investment in Indonesia).

We thought providing, while not exhaustive, a comprehensive list of accredited individuals in the sustainability field would help everyone. Moving towards prompting a bigger interest in sustainability, our objective is to provide a tool where sustainability can grow its recognition.

This showcase is likewise an initial effort to inspire the new generation of workers to join the talent pool of ESG and sustainability. We aim to guide future talents who are interested through the past professional and educational insights of these figures, in hope to mimic their success.

Out of the 30 individuals we have shortlisted, we were able to extract some early learnings. This initial insight likewise prompted another report that will soon be published by ANGIN, regarding the gap between the sustainability job market demand and the readiness of the talent pool in Indonesia, and how improvement in Indonesian higher education can play a part, stay tuned!
