The system will smoothen processes by using automated workflows and AI insights, and it will align with international standards, including ISSB and regulations in Indonesia. So that rural banks can meet new reporting requirements and manage risks associated with environmental and governance practices.

The development comes amid ESG investment in Southeast Asia growing at an unprecedented scale. Surveys show that 70–82% of regional investors are now exploring ESG-related opportunities, while many boards in ASEAN countries are preparing to form ESG committees in 2025.

In parallel, other developments such as carbon exchanges and renewable energy expansion show that governments and businesses are moving toward greener growth. In this context, the tie-up between Diginex and iNEED gives Indonesia’s rural banks new tools to align with these trends.

Mark Blick, CEO of Diginex, described the agreement as a step that connects the company’s global expertise with iNEED’s local reach.

He also said the arrangement will help rural banks meet compliance requirements while shaping long-term value.

Raden Joko, CEO of iNEED, added that the company’s partnership with Perbarindo already put it at the centre of Indonesia’s rural banking digital transition, and that working with Diginex expands this role by adding ESG capabilities.

This cooperation was initiated through an introduction from Resulticks, a global engagement solutions firm. Earlier in June, Diginex had signed an MOU for a partial acquisition of Resulticks, showing how business introductions are shaping international sustainability initiatives.
