Atma Jaya, together with the ECoGREEN consortium, mentors 10 environmentally conscious MSMEs in preparing Sustainability Reports!

Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia, through the ECoGREEN consortium, is holding a mentoring session for 10 environmentally conscious and globally minded MSMEs. This activity aims to equip small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) in preparing Sustainability Reports as a step towards a responsible green industry.

The mentoring session, which began with opening remarks by Dr. Christina Juliana, CPMA, Asean CPA, CertDA, participants actively discussed the sustainability challenges and opportunities they face every day. The topics discussed were diverse, ranging from tourism villages and the use of drones for environmental monitoring, waste management, natural home decor, local culinary delights, circular fashion, and product innovations from plastic waste.

 

On September 30, 2025, Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia, in collaboration with the ECoGREEN consortium, held an online mentoring session for MSMEs via Zoom Meeting. Ten selected MSMEs committed to sustainability and environmental stewardship participated.

 

The mentoring session focused on assisting MSMEs in preparing Sustainability Reports, a crucial step toward strengthening their competitiveness in the global era. During the session, MSMEs discussed various green business practices, from developing tourism villages and utilizing drones for environmental monitoring, waste management, natural home decor, local culinary delights, circular fashion, and product innovations from plastic waste.

 

This session not only provided a technical understanding of sustainability reporting but also encouraged MSMEs to be more environmentally conscious, integrate circular economy principles, and strengthen their eco-friendly business identity. With ongoing mentoring, it is hoped that MSMEs will be increasingly prepared to become part of a green business ecosystem that makes a significant contribution to society and the planet.

 

Efforts to introduce the concept of sustainability to MSMEs are carried out through various strategic steps, such as providing education and guidance on implementing environmentally friendly business practices, providing support in the form of incentives and access to sustainability-oriented financing, and encouraging the use of more efficient and environmentally friendly technologies. Furthermore, it is crucial to strengthen collaboration with various parties—including the government, the private sector, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs—to create synergy in implementing sustainability principles. Sustainability values ??also need to be integrated into MSMEs' management systems and core business processes to become an integral part of their operational culture.
