PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk or BNI continues to show its commitment in supporting the energy transition agenda in Indonesia. As of May 2025, the company's green financing portfolio was recorded at IDR 13.37 trillion, equivalent to 18.19% of BNI's total green credit portfolio. This figure grew 2.9% year-to-date (YtD).
BNI Corporate Secretary Okki Rushartomo disclosed that the growth in green financing was driven by BNI's expansion in clean energy projects, such as solar power plants, wind power, hydropower, and biogas.
"As part of BNI's ongoing strategy to manage exposure to sectors with high carbon intensity, we continue to reduce the portion of financing for the oil and gas and coal sectors. On the contrary, we continue to increase financing for the renewable energy sector," Okki said in his written statement.
Okki added, looking ahead BNI sees the potential for financing in the green energy sector as very promising. This is inseparable from global and national needs for cleaner and more efficient energy, as well as support from government policies such as the Net Zero Emission 2060 road map and the green taxonomy from the Financial Services Authority (OJK).
According to him, BNI is also looking at the increasing need for environmentally friendly financing from business actors, both from corporations and MSME players.
"BNI is actively strengthening its role as a catalyst in the development of national green financing. We realize this through strengthening various funding instruments, such as the issuance of green bonds, as well as the application of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles in the financing process," he explained.
As part of its climate risk management efforts, BNI has also conducted climate risk stress testing (CRST) on 50% of its credit portfolio by 2024. This initiative will be expanded to cover 100% of the credit portfolio by 2025.
“This step reflects BNI's readiness to face the potential risks of climate change and strengthen the resilience and competitiveness of the national economy in the green economy era,” concluded Okki.
With a range of strategic steps, BNI affirms its commitment to continue driving an inclusive and sustainable energy transition in Indonesia.
