Maybank Marathon targets carbon neutrality by 2030

The Maybank Marathon is intensifying its efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030, a goal it is pursuing through a comprehensive suite of sustainability initiatives. These efforts encompass meticulous emission footprint calculations and active engagement with the community and various partners.

This commitment was recently underscored during the Maybank Marathon Sustainability Day 2026, a two-day event held at the Sustainability Pavilion at the Bali United Training Center in Gianyar, Bali. The event preceded the main Maybank Marathon 2026, held in partnership with Visa.

In line with Maybank's strategic pillar ROAR30, Impacting Society Positively, we believe that sustainable impact requires collaboration that unites diverse strengths to achieve common goals.

Steffano Ridwan, President Director of Maybank Indonesia, stated that transforming the Maybank Marathon into a carbon-neutral event aligns with the company's strategic pillar of "Impacting Society Positively." He emphasized that achieving sustainable impact necessitates collaboration among diverse strengths to reach shared objectives. This collaborative approach involves partners like Visa and BMW Group, as well as local communities and businesses surrounding the event's location.

What is most important is how the impact can be felt by the Bali Regional Government and the people of Bali as a whole. Well, that is the most important thing.

Ridwan highlighted that the initiatives aim not only to support the marathon's execution but also to generate positive impacts for the community and the environment, particularly for the local government and people of Bali. A key environmental measure is the precise calculation of the marathon's emission footprint, which serves as the foundation for developing concrete decarbonization strategies toward the 2030 target. This is embodied in the "Jejak Hijau" (Green Footprint) movement, which includes programs like "Jejak Hijau Desa Sanding" to foster sustainable village development.

Beyond environmental programs, Maybank is actively involving the community through social activities. These include collaborations with associations supporting people with disabilities and participation by Maybank teams in local schools. Ridwan believes community involvement is crucial for ensuring the marathon's sustainability benefits extend broadly, emphasizing that sustainability must positively impact the surrounding communities, not just activities within the event's venue.

This is the spirit that we embody through the 'Jejak Hijau' movement at the Maybank Marathon, in line with our aspiration to realize the Maybank Marathon as a carbon-neutral marathon event by 2030.
