ESG-IN (operating as PT ESGIN Global Partners) and the Indonesia Carbon Trade Association (IDCTA) have officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to accelerate the development of a digital, transparent, and verified carbon credit ecosystem in Indonesia.
The agreement, signed in South Jakarta on May 4, 2026, brings together ESG-IN’s global ESG action platform and IDCTA’s extensive network of businesses and green projects across Indonesia. The MoU was signed by ESG-IN Chief Executive Officer Brandon Keam and IDCTA Chairman Riza Suarga, witnessed by representatives from both organizations. This strategic collaboration is designed to connect people, data, and capital to create a system where environmental actions are verified, valued, and rewarded.
Driving a Transparent and Verified ESG Ecosystem
Through this partnership, ESG-IN and IDCTA aim to build an integrated ecosystem centered on verified ESG data and carbon credit transparency. The collaboration will focus on accelerating certification and issuance of carbon credits, plastic credits, and ESG Action Credits using AI-powered Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification systems. Blockchain technology will be deployed to enhance transparency by creating immutable records of carbon credit transactions, strengthening trust among global investors and buyers. Verified ESG data will also open access to green financing and expand market opportunities for Indonesian projects. The partnership further aims to empower communities by enabling individuals and local leaders to participate in environmental action through ESG networks, while contributing to Indonesia’s commitment to achieving Net Zero Emissions by 2060.
Technology-Driven Implementation
Under the agreement, ESG-IN will provide a digital MRV platform that allows real-time and verified emission data collection aligned with international standards such as Verra and Gold Standard. The collaboration also includes facilitation of carbon credit offtake, capacity building programs, development of new environmental credit methodologies, expansion of ESG Bank community networks, and policy advocacy to support Indonesia’s evolving carbon market framework.
Unlocking Economic and Environmental Value
The initiative is expected to deliver broad benefits across stakeholders. Businesses and project developers will gain faster certification processes, improved credit value, and access to global markets. Communities will benefit from economic opportunities tied to verified environmental actions, while investors will gain access to transparent, audit-ready ESG data. For the government, the collaboration offers real-time visibility into carbon market activity and supports national climate targets. At a macro level, the initiative is expected to drive green investment, create new jobs, and strengthen Indonesia’s competitiveness in sustainable industries.
Leadership Perspectives
“This collaboration with IDCTA is a strategic step toward realizing ESG-IN’s vision of a global ESG action network that is digitalized, transparent, and community-driven,” said Brandon Keam, Chief Executive Officer of ESG-IN. “We are confident this partnership will accelerate Indonesia’s carbon market growth while unlocking significant green investment opportunities.”
Riza Suarga, Chairman of IDCTA, stated, “This MoU reflects our commitment to accelerating the digital transformation of Indonesia’s carbon market. ESG-IN’s AI and blockchain technologies will help our members meet international standards in emission reporting and certification, creating a more credible and sustainable market.”
