Climate Change and Sustainability Services (CCaSS) EY Indonesia

Climate change and energy

In today’s environment, businesses can no longer ignore the physical and regulatory impact of climate change. This presents opportunities, not just challenges, for organizations that act decisively. During the international climate negotiations at the UN’s Conference of Parties (COP21) in Paris, Indonesia committed to achieving 29% carbon reduction in carbon emissions by 2030. This has increased the need for responsive participation by government and private sector players alike in meeting the targets and more widely in planning for ways to adapt and manage the risks from climate change impacts.

Sustainability reporting and assurance

More international and leading Indonesian businesses are now seeking new ways of communicating non-financial performance as stakeholders demand greater transparency to assess long term value. Indonesia is experiencing an increasing trend across industries of issuing non-financial reports.

Globally-recognized reporting frameworks such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and Integrated Reporting will have an impact on the way businesses report and the way assurance is provided. EY has been globally involved in the development of these frameworks and we can help businesses transition to these new ways of communicating their sustainability performance. Our key services include:

Increasing competition and accountability pressure are pushing organizations to build resilience and strengthen their social position towards sustainable business environment. We can help organizations to achieve this through crafting business responses to emerging sustainability risks and opportunities, assessing value at stake, mitigating supply chain risks, and connecting organizations with the best practice trends, knowledge and skills. Our key services include:

Strategy

An effective and strategic supply chain approach needs sustainable management and procurement. We can help businesses to understand the sustainability risks in the goods and services they purchase, understand how these may impact their business, develop a plan to mitigate risks, and implement best practice sustainable procurement systems.

Human rights

Companies expose themselves to greater social compliance risk as they expand into emerging markets in search of lower costs. Instances of forced labor and land grabbing have been exposed in large companies’ supply chains both at home and abroad. Companies are increasingly expected to demonstrate how they respect human rights, whether in their own operations, in their supply chain, or through their relationships with other stakeholders to maintain their social license to operate. We are ready to assist organizations to mitigate risk and drive business value, helping them to:

Identify and evaluate social and human rights risk
