EuroCham was invited to participate in the Small-Group Strategic Dialogue on Developing More Robust ESG Frameworks in Indonesia’s Critical Mineral Sector on 3 June 2026, organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the auspices of the Indonesia Critical Minerals Conference & Expo (ICM) 2026, hosted by the Indonesian Nickel Miners Association (Asosiasi Penambang Nikel Indonesia / APNI).

EuroCham, represented by Executive Board Member Donald Situmorang, conveyed the European business community’s perspective on an effective ESG Standards Framework for the critical mineral sector. EuroCham emphasized the importance of aligning with internationally recognized standards, strengthening transparency and traceability across supply chains, and ensuring practical and implementable measures that enhance Indonesia’s investment competitiveness, particularly in the context of the Indonesia–EU Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (I-EU CEPA).

The dialogue provided a valuable platform for constructive engagement between government and industry stakeholders, reaffirming EuroCham’s commitment to supporting Indonesia’s efforts to develop a critical minerals sector that contributes to sustainable economic growth.

On 2 June 2026, the Information and Communications Technology & Intellectual Property (ICT-IP) Working Group of EuroCham Indonesia convened with Mr. Theo Sutarto, Assistant Deputy Minister for Digital Economy Development at the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia (CMEA), to exchange views on recent developments in Indonesia’s digital economy.

The EuroCham delegation was led by Donald Situmorang, Board Patron of the ICT-IP Working Group.
