JAKARTA - Suzuki Indonesia celebrates its 53rd year in the country in 2023. With a mature experience, Suzuki has consistently provided environmentally friendly products and is committed to the carbon reduction target by 2060.

Suzuki's focus is not only on hybrid technology and low-emission machine design, but also on the construction of environmentally friendly factories since 2020. This effort is adjusted to Indonesia's geographical condition as a tropical archipelago country.

Joshi Prasetya, Dept. PT SIS' Head of Strategic Planning, emphasized that the company is now focusing on carbon reduction targets, in line with Suzuki's global vision and the Indonesian government's target of reducing emissions by 41 percent by 2030 and Net Zero Emission.

"Suzuki Indonesia is currently very focused on reviewing and implementing various strategies to achieve the company's carbon reduction target in 2060. This is certainly in line with Suzuki Global's vision and the Indonesian government which also targets emission reduction of up to 41 percent by 2030, and Net Zero Emission," he said, at a media gathering event, in the Senayan area, Tuesday, January 24.

Integrated measures include the production of environmentally friendly vehicles, CSR and Education Care activities, as well as the implementation of carbon reduction across Suzuki factories. The carbon reduction system in factories is supported by initiatives such as the Suzuki Green Procurement Guideline which ensures vendors comply with global standards and are committed to the environment.

By 2023, Suzuki has been monitoring 464 vendors, securing global standards for each product. The target is that each vendor reduces 5 percent of production emissions annually, starting from 2024, as a concrete step towards carbon reduction by 2060.

Suzuki Indonesia has also focused on reducing energy use through the Kaizen method from 2020-2023. They are committed to green energy initiatives, including planting crops as climate change mitigation and implementing green electricity with solar panels at factories as renewable energy sources.

Suzuki's final product reflects this effort, with low-emission and environmentally friendly vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, and ship engines. The Suzuki plant is also active in managing production waste through the recycling process, preventing a negative impact on the environment.

In the last three years, Suzuki Indonesia has managed to recycle more than 9,000 tons of waste. Suzuki is optimistic about achieving a carbon reduction target of more than 41 percent by 2030, leading to a greater achievement by 2060.

"Suzuki Indonesia is optimistic that it can achieve the milestone target to reduce carbon by more than 41 percent by 2030 and optimize its steps towards a larger carbon reduction target by 2060," Joshi concluded.
