Event Reports

To provide updates regarding project financing, the Energy Working Group conducted a webinar entitled, “Phasing Out the Coal Financing into Green Financing.”. The webinar was conducted on 27 August 2020 in response to the reduction of funding for coal, which will likely impact to the shift to New Renewable Energy. Coal is not considered a "green industry” that can be supported by global financial institutions as most are committed to financing "green energy" projects these days. The webinar invited a number of notable speakers, namely Nicolas Parrot (President Director of BNP Paribas) and David Cullerier (EuroCham Board Patron for the Energy Working Group/President Director of ENGIE Indonesia), and the overall discussion was moderated by Thomas Wagner (Head of EuroCham Energy Working Group/Chief Representative South East Asia of EnviTec Biogas AG).

On Tuesday, 25 August 2020, EuroCham organized the beverages sub-group meeting within the Agriculture, Food and Beverages Working Group. The meeting discussed plans for a joint advocacy effort related to the sale of alcoholic beverages on the online platform. The discussion was attended by Doni Wibisono, and Dendy Borman, in their capacity as the Head and Deputy Head of the Working Group. This meeting seeks to provide group members the opportunity to share ideas on EuroCham advocacy stategy for the topics, and identify stakeholders for collaboration needed.
