JAKARTA - The times are changing. Women are now not just sitting in the back row. They appear ahead to become leaders, decision makers, innovators, and determinants of the future.

Behind this major change, there is one principle that continues to be echoed by various parties, namely gender equality as an inseparable part of sustainable development.

In the world of business and industry, this awareness is realized through the application of ESG principles, namely environmental, social, and corporate governance. ESG is not just a jargon, but a real approach that emphasizes the importance of social and environmental responsibility in running a business. One of the important aspects in the social pillar of ESG is women's empowerment.

Gender equality is not only about providing equal space for women, but also about creating systems that support them to grow and develop at various levels of organization.

When women are given equal access in leadership, the results are not only fairer, but also stronger. Working culture becomes more inclusive, decision making is more diverse, and team performance as a whole increases.

The Womenomics event is a forum for celebrating women's contribution to advancing the economy. In the midst of this inspiring atmosphere, the President Director of Indodana Finance, Mira Wibowo, received the appreciation of The Most Outstanding Women 2025 in Multifinance.

This award doesn't just come. This is the result of the company's commitment to supporting the ESG principle as a whole, especially in terms of gender equality.

By increasing the involvement of women at the leadership level, companies can create an inclusive work culture, encourage optimal team performance, and ensure sustainable company growth.

"This appreciation is not only an acknowledgment of personal achievement, but also the results of the collective work of all teams in Indodana Finance, and evidence that women can be empowered and build strategic leadership. We are committed to continuing to provide innovative, sustainable, and inclusive financing services for the people of Indonesia," said Mira Wibowo, from Indodana's official statement.

The Womenomics event itself has the theme The Secret to Economy Growth in Uncertainty. This theme is relevant to the current global situation, where economic uncertainty demands the active role of all parties, including women.

The journey to an equal and inclusive world is not instantaneous. But every step, every confession, and every real action like this is part of a major change that is ongoing. Because when women are given room to grow, the world also develops.
