Sustainability Professional

"I handle stakeholder engagement relations and sustainability communication, which includes external communication like our sustainability reports. I studied environmental engineering and industrial ecology in school, so I always knew I wanted to do something that improves the environment and social economy. I’m glad that I’m at a company that’s on the ball when it comes to implementing sustainability – we are making real contributions to advancing sustainable development in Indonesia. It’s also great to see that there are many female sustainability leaders globally, including our own sustainability director! I hope I become one myself in the long term."
