2nd ESG Forum 2026
A Strategic Convergence Platform
Background
Indonesia currently holds a strategic position as the world's largest nickel producer, contributing more than 60% of global supply. The transformation of the national nickel industry from upstream to downstream has created an integrated ecosystem.
Amid global pressures such as CBAM, supply chain due diligence, and traceability requirements, Indonesia is not only expected to comply with international standards but also has the opportunity to develop ESG standards that reflect the characteristics of its national industry.
As part of the roadmap for developing Indonesia's ESG Standard, APNI has prepared a draft ESG questionnaire that will serve as an initial instrument in the standardization process.
Main Objective
To collect and validate stakeholder input on the APNI ESG Questionnaire Draft as the foundation for developing Indonesia's ESG Standard.
Forum Format
- Keynote speeches from top government officials
- Panel discussions (policy, industry, market)
- Interactive stakeholder session (ESG questionnaire review)
- Synthesis & strategic recommendations
- Declaration on Country-Specific ESG Standards
- MoU Signing with Philippine Nickel Industry Association
Expected Outputs
A key milestone in Indonesia's ESG roadmap (2026–2028)
First national platform systematically developing industry-based ESG standards
Battery Passport Integration
Initial step toward integration with global battery passport systems for EV supply chain compliance.
Global OEM Acceptance
Pathway to acceptance by global Original Equipment Manufacturers requiring verified ESG credentials.
Green Premium Markets
Unlock access to premium green markets commanding higher prices for sustainably-sourced materials.
