Helping organizations turn sustainability commitments into measurable, science-based action. --- **Our Purpose** ## Accelerating Indonesia's decarbonization journey across industries backed by science. We exist because the gap between sustainability ambition and credible action is still too wide. Companies want to do the right thing. They face real pressure from regulators, investors, and buyers to demonstrate measurable progress. But translating global frameworks like SBTN, SBTi, GHG Protocol, etc., into practical, company-specific action remains a genuine challenge, especially across Southeast Asia’s diverse industrial landscape. **That is the gap we are built to close.** Through science-based methodologies, hands-on implementation support, and deep sector expertise across climate, nature, and circular economy, Bestari helps organizations measure what matters, set credible targets, and report progress that stakeholders can trust. We work alongside our clients until sustainability is fully embedded in operations. ### "A real change to be sustainable is not built on pledges, but it is built on evidence." --- **Our History** ### From Research to Real Impact Here's how our journey began to accelerate company decarbonization journey 2021 Incubated Within WRI Indonesia Established to bridge research and business, transforming frameworks into practical solutions. 2024 Establishment & Market Entry Officially established as a private company, expanding partnerships and scaling impact across sectors. 2025 Expanding Impact & Influence Appointed to lead Science Based Targets Network (SBTN) initiatives in Southeast Asia, expanding services beyond climate into nature and circular economy. 2026 Driving Measurable Results Focusing on embedding deep sustainability workflows across diverse business sectors, standardizing science-based corporate roadmaps, and leading technical advisory initiatives across the region. --- ## Our Impact Since Founding --- 40+ - Regions Supported Across Indonesia (Sumatera, Kalimantan, Java), trusted by leading names shaping the economy. 185770M - tCO₂e Calculated Total emissions assessed across energy, agribusiness, manufacturing, construction, and consumer goods sectors. 250+ - Companies Engaged Through SBTN outreach in 2025 alone, acting as Southeast Asia Regional Coordinator. ### Global Engagements Speaking engagements at WBCSD Nature Reporting, SBTN Corporate Engagement, RSPO, and more. --- ### Our Vision To be a catalyst for Indonesia’s sustainability transformation, driving tangible climate action through credible measurement, cost-efficient solutions, and science-based approaches that create long-term value for business, society, and nature. ### Our Mission ## Making sustainability work. To ensure that every sustainability action a company takes is measurable, meaningful, and aligned with science. We partner with organizations to achieve their net zero targets while optimizing business operations, and we make complexity accessible by translating the science into the clearest, most actionable path forward. --- **Expertise** ## What We Do Bestari works across three interconnected areas that define the frontier of corporate sustainability today. ### Climate From GHG inventory and emissions baseline to science-based target setting, SBTi validation, net zero roadmapping, and sustainability disclosure. We help companies understand, reduce, and credibly report their climate impact. ### Nature We support companies in adopting Science Based Targets for Nature (SBTN), mapping freshwater, land, and biodiversity impacts, prioritizing action, and setting measurable targets that address the full ecological footprint. ### Circular Economy We help companies transition toward resource-efficient models. From sustainable material sourcing and circular product design to certification readiness, reducing waste, and meeting market demand for verifiable credentials. --- **People** ## Our Team Bestari brings together professionals who have chosen to dedicate their careers to one of the most consequential challenges of our time: the transition to a just and sustainable future.
