Singapore – The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and President Director of Bakrie & Brothers (BNBR), Anindya Novyan Bakrie said that Indonesia deserves to become a developed country while helping the world to decarbonize.Â
"How Indonesia also has the right to become a developed country, while helping the world to decarbonize," Bakrie stated while becoming a speaker in the forum "Quitting Coal Turkey: Accelerating the Transition to Clean Energy at the Milken Asia Summit 2023 held by Milken Institute, Singapore.Â
On that occasion, Bakrie said that Indonesia should keep trying to make the economy better and the society more prosperous, while paying attention to the environment and sustainability.Â
"For example, how to process the right materials in the underground such as bauxite, copper, nickel, and others by utilizing renewable energy which has a lot of potential in Indonesia," Bakrie said.Â
For another example, solar, wind, geothermal, and water, all of them are used to be processed in the development of the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem, he added.Â
"We take care of the biodiversity that is our wealth," Anindya Bakrie remarked through his official Instagram account, on Friday.Â
According to Bakrie, Indonesia's position as well as hosting the G20 and ASEAN, is very much considered.Â
"It is also important that developed countries that emit more carbon per capita decarbonize (just more) than developing countries," Bakrie stated.Â
"I believe that Indonesia is the ideal starting point for this transformation, but we also recognize the importance of thinking globally," he expressed.Â
He also mentioned: "This approach is in line with our vision to make a significant and advance clean energy, but not forgetting inclusive economic development that benefits the Indonesian people,"Â
