JAKARTA - Deputy Minister (Wamen) of BUMN II Kartika Wirjoatmodjo said that value-based business does not only create prosperity, but also well-being.

"These two things should be in balance, complementing each other in business practice. In addition, the organization's core values are a long-term fundamental sustainability factor because business practice in the current era is doing good is doing well," Kartika said as quoted by Antara, Friday, June 3 .

According to him, Indonesia has just commemorated the Birthday of Pancasila on June 1, 2022, so the momentum is right to discuss Pancasila-based business practices and the virtues of values.

With the wealth and primacy of Pancasila values, he said, all parties can build a proud Indonesia and create a better world for mankind.

Meanwhile, at the V20 Webinar, last Thursday, the Head of Engagement Group Business20 or B20 Shinta Kamdani offered three valuenomics points for fair economic growth for the wider community.

Valuenomics is an economic ideology that believes that value-based business will be able to bring about a prosperous nation and create a better world.

The first point is to put people as the main priority as well as the center of gravity of business, which means prioritizing the welfare of the wider community and not merely pursuing profit.

While the second point is that business needs to be developed in an inclusive and value-impacted ecosystem, and the third point contains an environmentally friendly attitude.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Corporate Social Responsibility Division of MIND ID Binahidra Logiardi gave an example of one of the implementations of noble purposes for corporations in 2022, which is to reduce carbon emissions by one percent.

"This is our contribution to sustainable development and supports the economy that is in line with the various sustainable development goals or SDGs," he said.

These contributions include tackling climate change, providing environmentally friendly energy, increasing food availability, as well as providing decent jobs and economic growth.

The webinar, which is the second in a series of four webinars in CARNIVAL V20 2022 as a side event program for V20 throughout May-August this year, discusses topics with the aim of promoting value-based economic and business practices that have succeeded in channeling benefits and goodness for society and the nation.

V20 is a global community of value thinkers and practitioners working to support the G20 by providing data-driven and people-centred policy solutions to global challenges.

The official organizer of V20 2022 in the G20 ecosystem of the Indonesian Presidency is Nenilai, a joint initiative to develop Indonesia through surveys and dialogues about the importance of values for individuals, communities and the nation.
