On November 4, 2025 the GRESB Regional Insights 2025 event was successfully held in Jakarta, bringing together leading representatives from Indonesia's banking, real estate, and investment sectors. Jointly organized by GRESB and Asia Green Real Estate—the first GRESB partner in Indonesia—the event explored how sustainable investment strategies are reshaping Indonesia's real estate landscape. Under the overarching theme "Financial opportunities for a greener future: sustainability & profitability for Indonesian real estate" the speakers adressed both the strategic benefits of sustainability for property owners and the increasing importance of sustainability criteria in accessing green financing.
"Indonesia's real estate sector is undergoing a significant transformation." Said Arista Dharsono Heinz, Partner at Asia Green Real Estate. "Sustainability is no longer an optional consideration — it is central to the investment decision-making. At Asia Green Real Estate, we believe that aligning profitability with environmental impact will define the next chapter of growth for the industry. Through our advisory services, we aim to support developers and property owners in shaping effective sustainability strategies that deliver both environmental and operational benefits."
Held as part of the GRESB Regional Insights 2025 global series, the Jakarta event brought together sustainability leaders and financial institutions to explore the latest trends transforming real asset markets. Discussions covered innovative ESG strategies, the rise of green financing, the roles of GRESB and EDGE in advancing ESG standards, Indonesia's evolving green building policies, and practical ways to measure and strengthen sustainability performance, featuring case studies of high-performing portfolios.
"By facilitating discussions like this, GRESB aims to strengthen local market knowledge and global collaboration. Each year, the GRESB benchmark reflects how responsible investing—anchored in sustainability and backed by data—can deliver meaningful outcomes for investors, markets, and communities." Said Trey Archer, Director Asia at GRESB.
