Jakarta, December 10, 2025 – INAPLAS and PEFINDO Align for a Sustainable Industrial Future
In a proactive move to strengthen the resilience of the domestic petrochemical industry, INAPLAS (Indonesian Olefin, Aromatic, and Plastic Industry Association) and PEFINDO (PT Pemeringkat Efek Indonesia) held a collaborative session in December 2025 to discuss industry creditworthiness and the transition toward sustainable finance. The meeting focused on assessing the current business risks facing the plastics sector, particularly in light of global feedstock volatility and the ambitious Petrochemical Roadmap 2025–2045. By aligning industry data with PEFINDO’s rating expertise, the session aimed to provide a clearer financial outlook for member companies as they navigate a challenging global economy and push for increased domestic production capacity.
Beyond traditional credit assessments, the collaboration highlighted a significant shift toward Green Financing and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) integration. As PEFINDO continues to expand its role as a Green Bond External Reviewer, the discussions with INAPLAS executives explored how plastic and chemical manufacturers can access green capital to fund decarbonization and circular economy projects. The event concluded with a formal exchange of tokens, symbolizing a shared commitment to ensuring that Indonesia's manufacturing foundation remains both financially robust and environmentally responsible as it heads into 2026.
