As a leading financier of infrastructure in Indonesia, PT Indonesia Infrastructure Finance (IIF) recognizes the escalating threat posed by climate change. Our commitment to integrating climate risk management into our financing processes is not merely a regulatory nod; it is a fundamental pillar of our long-term business sustainability and our responsibility to the nation's development. We understand that the infrastructure we help build must be resilient to future climate impacts, safeguarding not only our investments but also the communities they serve. This proactive approach, developed in collaboration with the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI), ensures that every project we fund is assessed for both financial viability and climate robustness. From 2025, this has been a mandatory step, with ongoing portfolio reviews feeding into our risk committees. We are building a comprehensive understanding of our climate risk exposure, a crucial step for responsible financial stewardship in an era of environmental uncertainty. This is how IIF contributes to a more sustainable and resilient Indonesia.
