VIVA – President Director of Bakrie & Brothers, Anindya Novyan Bakrie expressed his pride in Bakrie University Students as the initiator of IYSDGs 2023, while encouraging the efforts of the younger generation in realizing SDGs. According to him, this is an important contribution to helping the government's efforts to achieve net zero emissions in 2060.
"Congratulations to Bakrie University for organizing the Indonesian Youth SDGs Summit 2023. This is a very proud moment because the effect must be felt by all levels of society. And this is very important not only because of its successful implementation, but this can help the government's efforts to achieve net zero emissions in 2060," Anindya Bakrie said when giving a speech through video, on Saturday.
"And for the Bakrie business group this is a real example, that we contribute to the development of future generations or what we call the generation to build the country," he continued.
Furthermore, he advised that this step is sustainable by requiring a public market partnership. This is also for the sake of sustainability in the business world.
"There are two things I want to say, Â powerful public market partnerships are very useful for making sustainable SDGs. Because after all, SDGs with very good intentions without relationships from the business sector is very difficult to be sustainable. So not only sustainable in terms of the environment but also sustainable in the business world," explained Bakrie.
"And finally, the Bakrie Group as one of the pioneers of electrification efforts in Indonesia is an example that is hopefully useful for other groups to follow how each can take part in overall decarbonization efforts," he added.
