Six Indonesian and multinational companies have joined together in a vow to strengthen their commitment to reduce carbon emissions and support eco business practices by establishing the Indonesian Business Council for Sustainable Development (IBCSD).

The companies included in the pact are paper maker Asia Pacific Resources International Ltd., national airline Garuda Indonesia, energy company PT Medco Power Indonesia, state-owned Bank Negara Indonesia, telecommunications operator PT Bakrie Telecom and cement maker PT Holcim Indonesia. In the short term the council will focus on initiating a partnership with other companies that operate in Indonesia to develop environmentally friendly business practices and strengthen the country’s promotion of sustainable development through corporate social responsibility programs.

Medco Power, for example, has developed eco-friendly power plants that utilize geothermal, hydro and bio-mass technologies. Bakrie Telecom has found ways of cutting the amount of electricity used by its base transceiver station towers.
