Sustainable Finance is an ecosystem with comprehensive support in the form of policies, regulations, norms, standards, products, transactions and financial services that harmonize economic, environmental and social interests in financing sustainable activities and financing the transition to sustainable economic growth (Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 4 of 2023 concerning Development and Strengthening of the Financial Sector). In implementing Sustainable Finance, Indonesia still faces various challenges, including convincing businesses and the public that efforts to generate profits will be better and more lasting if done by considering natural resources and social impacts on society. This is known as the profit, people, planet (3P) principle. Thus, an initiative is needed that can change the mindset of businesses from pursuing short-term profits to long-term prosperity. OJK has started the efforts to overcome these challenges by encouraging the application of Sustainable Finance Principles as stipulated in the Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 51/POJK.03/2017 concerning the Implementation of Sustainable Finance for Financial Services Institutions, Issuers, and Public Companies. The Journey of sustainable finance policy development that has been carried out by OJK as follows.
