UI GreenMetric aims to Increase Sustainability at Campuses on a National Level by Strengthening Collaboration with the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology.
On the 11th of February of 2026, UI GreenMetric, represented by Dr. Vishnu Juwono, S.E., M.I.A., Head of UI GreenMetric; Sabrina Hikmah Ramadianti, S.Si., as Program, Partnership, and Communications Manager; Riska Putri Hariyadi, S.IP., M.Si., as Communications Coordinator; and Rayhana S.Gz., as Partnership & Program Coordinator, paid an official visit to the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology to meet with Prof. Dr. Mukhamad Najib, S.TP., M.M., as Director of Institutions at the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia. The meeting was held to strengthen national-level collaboration between UI GreenMetric and higher education institutions across Indonesia to achieve a more sustainable campus environment. This meeting marks an important step in the goal of a more sustainable higher educational environment. Campuses can help to both increase awareness and foster awareness among students on the importance of sustainable development. The key performance indicators of the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology have already laid out several ways that campuses can participate in the movement for a more sustainable future. One of the indicators by the ministry is to give higher educational institutions a mandate to conduct research and spur innovation that can give a positive economic or social impact on an industry or society at large. This can be translated into research into proven sustainable methods in several sectors or even new innovations in various sectors to make them more sustainable. This indicator by the ministry aligns with one of the indicators of UI GreenMetric Sustainable University Rankings that encourages higher education institutions to increase awareness and research on sustainable development. This shows that both parties are committed to strengthening research and awareness. Another indicator encourages lecturers to engage in off-campus activities within social, governmental, and industrial sectors. This engagement provides opportunities to apply sustainability principles through community service, research collaboration, and industry partnerships. Strengthened collaboration between the Ministry and UI GreenMetric can further leverage these activities to promote sustainability awareness and implement practical initiatives beyond the campus environment. This approach aligns with the vision of UI GreenMetric University rankings to bring sustainable impacts to universities around the world. Furthermore, UI GreenMetric supports the Ministry’s efforts to advance sustainability across higher education institutions by expanding participation in its university rankings framework. Through benchmarking, evaluation, and guidance, participating universities are encouraged to strengthen sustainable campus practices and improve their environmental performance. Broader participation from Indonesian institutions, including state universities with legal entity status (PTNBH), public universities (PTN), and private universities (PTS), will contribute to more sustainable operations that benefit surrounding communities and industries at the national, regional, and local levels. As an initiative developed and initiated by Universitas Indonesia, UI GreenMetric represents a homegrown Indonesian framework that has earned global recognition, with 1,745 institutions across more than 105 countries currently participating. This meeting marks an important step in strengthening collaboration between UI GreenMetric and the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology to advance sustainable development across Indonesia’s higher education sector. Through closer coordination and the integration of the UI GreenMetric framework with the Ministry’s Key Performance Indicators (IKU), more universities, including PTNBH, PTN, and PTS, are encouraged to adopt more measurable sustainability practices in campus operations, research, and community engagement. UI GreenMetric is well positioned to support national efforts in building environmentally responsible and socially impactful campuses. Moving forward, this partnership is expected to accelerate the realisation of a more sustainable future for Indonesian higher education.

UI GreenMetric dan Bursa Efek Indonesia Dorong Praktik Keberlanjutan Korporasi melalui Sustainable Corporate Rankings
Jakarta, 10 Februari 2026 — UI GreenMetric bekerja sama dengan Bursa Efek Indonesia (IDX) menyelenggarakan Awareness Session bertajuk “Next Practices in Sustainability: Safe-to-fail, Seamless Integration, and Scope 1–3 Emissions” untuk memperkenalkan kerangka UI GreenMetric Sustainable Corporate Rankings kepada pelaku industri. Forum ini menyoroti pentingnya pengukuran emisi gas rumah kaca dan integrasi ESG sebagai strategi bisnis inti perusahaan. Dalam paparannya, UI GreenMetric menekankan bahwa inisiatif pemeringkatan korporasi ini dibangun di atas rekam jejak panjang UI GreenMetric dalam menilai keberlanjutan universitas dan kota secara global. Hingga 2025, jaringan UI GreenMetric telah mencakup lebih dari 1.700 universitas di lebih dari 100 negara, dan kini diperluas untuk membantu sektor korporasi membangun sistem pengukuran keberlanjutan yang transparan dan dapat dibandingkan. Kepala UI GreenMetric, Dr. Vishnu Juwono, menyatakan bahwa pemeringkatan ini dirancang sebagai instrumen strategis, bukan sekadar daftar peringkat. “UI GreenMetric Sustainable Corporate Rankings kami rancang sebagai platform pembelajaran dan transformasi. Tujuannya adalah membantu perusahaan Indonesia mengukur, membandingkan, dan meningkatkan kinerja keberlanjutan secara berbasis bukti, sehingga mampu bersaing di ekonomi rendah karbon,” ujarnya. Sesi utama membahas tren global emisi gas rumah kaca yang terus meningkat dan implikasinya bagi dunia usaha. Data terbaru menunjukkan bahwa emisi global hampir terus naik sejak awal 2000-an, dengan dampak langsung terhadap biaya operasional, risiko rantai pasok, dan akses pembiayaan perusahaan. Menurut Prof. Raldi Hendro Koestoer, Ph.D, perubahan iklim kini merupakan risiko bisnis sistemik. “Emisi gas rumah kaca bukan lagi isu lingkungan semata. Ini adalah risiko bisnis strategis yang memengaruhi stabilitas keuangan, operasi perusahaan, dan daya saing jangkapanjang. Perusahaan yang proaktif mengelola emisi justru membuka peluang efisiensi dan akses pembiayaan hijau,” jelasnya. Konsep Scope 1, 2, dan 3 emissions menjadi fokus penting dalam diskusi. Scope 3 — yang mencakup emisi sepanjang rantai nilai — sering kali menyumbang 70–90% jejak karbon perusahaan, sehingga kolaborasi dengan pemasok menjadi kunci strategi dekarbonisasi. Dari perspektif strategi bisnis, Dr. Toto Pranoto menekankan pentingnya integrasi keberlanjutan dalam model operasional perusahaan. “Keberlanjutan harus diintegrasikan langsung ke strategi korporasi. Pendekatan safe-to-fail memungkinkan perusahaan bereksperimen dengan inovasi hijau secara terukur, sehingga keberlanjutan menjadi sumber penciptaan nilai, bukan beban biaya,” katanya. UI GreenMetric memaparkan bahwa metodologi pemeringkatan korporasi mencakup empat pilar utama: Lingkungan, Sosial, Tata Kelola, serta Riset & SDGs, dengan penekanan pada bukti publik yang dapat diverifikasi. Pendekatan ini dirancang untuk meningkatkan kredibilitas data ESG dan mengurangi risiko klaim berlebihan (greenwashing). Dalam presentasinya, Rahmi, Ph.D, Manager Operasional, Data dan Riset UI GreenMetric, menambahkan: “Kami menekankan keterlacakan bukti dan validasi silang per indikator. Sistem ini membantu perusahaan membangun pelaporan ESG yang konsisten, transparan, dan dapat diaudit.” Forum ini juga menampilkan contoh praktik terbaik dari perusahaan internasional dan nasional yang telah menerapkan strategi pengurangan emisi melalui efisiensi energi, transisi energi bersih, dan manajemen rantai pasok berkelanjutan. Pendekatan tersebut terbukti dapat menghasilkan penghematan energi signifikan sekaligus memperkuat reputasi perusahaan. Melalui kolaborasi dengan IDX, UI GreenMetric berharap dapat mempercepat adopsi standar keberlanjutan di kalangan emiten dan memperkuat ekosistem bisnis yang lebih hijau di Indonesia. “Kami mengajak korporasi Indonesia untuk memanfaatkan pemeringkatan ini sebagai alat strategis untuk benchmarking dan transformasi. Keberlanjutan adalah fondasi daya saing masa depan,” tutup Dr. Vishnu Juwono. Tentang UI GreenMetric UI GreenMetric adalah program unggulan Universitas Indonesia yang sejak 2010 menilai komitmen keberlanjutan institusi melalui berbagai pemeringkatan global. Inisiatif terbaru, Sustainable Corporate Rankings, memperluas pendekatan tersebut ke sektor korporasi guna mendorong praktik bisnis berkelanjutan berbasis data. Dokumentasi Acara:
