PT. Mandiri Capital Indonesia (MCI)

Last Friday, our CIO, Dennis Pratistha, shared his insights on sustainability during an engaging discussion on SEA Today Business. He spoke about sustainable development in the digital economy, the application of ESG principles, and MCI's commitment to environmental sustainability. Here are the highlights: 🌱 MCI integrates sustainable development into its investments through the Indonesia Impact Fund (IIF), aligning with UN SDGs such as Quality Education (SDG 4), Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12), and Life Below Water (SDG 14). Plans include expanding IIF with the Global Climate Tech Fund to drive climate-tech solutions across Indonesia, SEA, and Australia. 🌎 Challenges in promoting ESG principles include significant financial investments required for startups, diverse ESG training needs across growth stages, and initiatives to facilitate ESG adoption through catalytic grants distributed by MCI and UNDP to portfolio companies. ♻️ MCI's commitment to environmental sustainability and support for Climate Tech startups bolster its market leadership in sustainable investment, aligning with Indonesia's Green Economy objectives and national initiatives like Mandiri NZE by 2060 and Indonesia Emas 2045. 💧 MCI's eco-friendly initiatives, such as the "bring your own bottle" campaign and comprehensive waste management programs, not only advance sustainability but also yield substantial cost savings by reducing expenditures on disposable products. 🌟 Future plans for MCI focus on expanding social initiatives, enhancing environmental sustainability, and strengthening governance practices to align with Bank Mandiri's objective of achieving Net Zero Emissions by 2030, thereby fostering positive impacts on society and governance standards. #MandiriCapitalIndonesia

Earlier this week, our CIO, Dennis Pratistha, attended CNBC's program, PROFIT, to discuss the direction of VC funding in the second half of 2024. Here are the key takeaways: 💰The rise in FED interest rates has led to a contraction in venture capital financing. However, this situation can benefit tech companies that have survived, as it encourages them to focus on healthy growth and market development, ultimately leading to increased profitability. 🔎 MCI is highly prudent and selective in its investments. The firm is committed to adding value to the businesses it invests in, focusing on improving the fundamental health of their portfolio companies through targeted initiatives. 🧳 MCI employs three key pillars in its value creation efforts: exploring opportunities through business matchmaking, business acceleration which covers securing business contracts and generating revenue, and networking. Collaboration among VCs, especially in early-stage portfolios, is crucial for enhancing the fundamental strength of their investments. 📉 Despite the current economic slowdown, MCI sees numerous opportunities for growth. The firm is committed to contributing to the digital ecosystem and is actively investing in sustainability by developing climate tech companies. The goal is to establish a solid climate tech ecosystem in Indonesia through the creation of a climate tech fund. Stay tuned for the next segment! #MandiriCapitalIndonesia
