Program Background

The Community Empowerment Initiative (CEI) is BGK Foundation's grassroots sustainability program, working directly with underrepresented communities across Indonesia to build environmental awareness and develop sustainable economic opportunities.

Our Approach

We believe that the transition to a sustainable economy must be inclusive. CEI focuses on communities most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change â€” coastal fishing villages, smallholder farming communities, and peri-urban settlements facing rapid environmental degradation.

Reach & Impact

CEI has reached 47 communities across West Java, East Java, and South Sulawesi, with over 8,000 direct beneficiaries since the program's inception in 2021. Partner NGOs and local government units co-implement the program to ensure long-term sustainability.

Our Advocacy Work

BGK Foundation actively engages with Indonesian policymakers, regulatory bodies, and international institutions to advance the development of robust ESG disclosure requirements and climate accountability policies at the national level.

Policy Outcomes

BGK Foundation's advocacy contributions have informed several regulatory developments, including the 2023 OJK Circular on Sustainability Reporting and the inclusion of TCFD-aligned climate risk disclosures in Indonesia's updated listing requirements for IDX-listed companies.
