Jakarta, INTI – In an era of globalization filled with challenges and global competition, Minister of Industry Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, emphasized the urgency of transforming towards a green industry. Through the digital-based certification system, the Green Industry Certification Online System (GISCO), the government seeks to accelerate the path to sustainability while enhancing the competitiveness of the national industry.
Digitalizing Green Industry Certification
GISCO was introduced to overcome bureaucratic hurdles that often made the process of obtaining green industry certification complicated and time consuming. Previously, companies had to go through lengthy procedures with numerous physical documents, causing verification to take a very long time. This often became an obstacle for industries wanting to demonstrate their commitment to environmentally friendly practices.
With GISCO, the entire process can now be carried out digitally. Companies only need to submit applications online through the platform, without the hassle of preparing piles of physical paperwork. This digital system makes the process faster, more transparent, and more efficient.
Through this initiative, the government hopes more companies will be encouraged to transition toward green industry practices. GISCO stands as concrete proof that digital transformation can support the acceleration of a more modern, efficient, and sustainable industrial sector.
Driving Competitiveness and Energy Efficiency
In practice, GISCO is not merely an administrative platform for certification, it also functions as a monitoring system for industrial performance. Through this platform, the government can track how companies are implementing energy efficiency, managing waste responsibly, and utilizing environmentally friendly technologies.
Certification obtained through GISCO will serve as evidence that a company is genuinely committed to sustainability principles. According to Minister Agus Gumiwang, the adoption of green industry practices is crucial, as it will help Indonesia maintain competitiveness in the global market. Today, many countries demand eco-friendly business practices, and Indonesian companies must be able to meet those standards to remain competitive.
Supporting the Sustainable Development Agenda
The implementation of GISCO also aligns with the government’s commitment to achieving carbon emission reduction targets and supporting the energy transition. Industries that adopt green standards will find it easier to participate in international trade partnerships, as sustainability issues are increasingly prioritized. Furthermore, the digitalization of certification is expected to encourage healthier investment, since transparency is key to attracting global partners and investors.
Conclusion
GISCO is not just a digital platform but a significant step in transforming how green industry practices are managed in Indonesia. With GISCO, companies are expected to adopt environmentally friendly policies more swiftly. This initiative strengthens Indonesia’s position in global trade and supports sustainable development domestically. Therefore, collaboration between the government, businesses, and society is essential to ensure the transition to a green industry runs smoothly and truly benefits both the economy and the environment.
