Background
Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are the backbone of Indonesia’s economy, contributing more than 60% to national GDP and employing up to 97% of the workforce. Spread across the archipelago, MSMEs drive local economic activity and support more equitable development. In the era of global climate change and the shift to a low-carbon economy, however, MSMEs face significant transformation challenges. Indonesia’s long- and medium-term development plans, RPJPN 2025–2045 and RPJMN 2025–2029, set ambitious goals, including reducing greenhouse-gas emissions by up to 93.5% by 2045, expanding renewable energy, and improving environmental quality. These targets require active participation from all sectors, including MSMEs, which also stand to benefit from changing consumer preferences, growing demand for environmentally friendly products, and the rise of green finance. Realising this opportunity calls for a clear strategic framework, supportive policies, capacity building, and cross-stakeholder collaboration.
To respond to this need, the Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas), in collaboration with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the IESR, has prepared a White Paper: “Realising a Sustainable Business Future through Empowering Green MSMEs.” The document presents a current-state analysis, a transformation roadmap, policy recommendations, and implementable steps to accelerate the adoption of green practices by MSMEs nationwide. The launch of this White Paper is a strategic moment to convey policy messages, invite collaboration, and strengthen commitments across stakeholders. To ensure a professional and inclusive delivery of the launch, IESR will procure an experienced Event Organiser (EO) to design and manage the event end-to-end so that key messages are communicated effectively, stakeholder engagement is optimised, and public-communications impact is maximised.
