Danamon and Fairatmos Forge Strategic Partnership to Finance Nature-Based Carbon Projects in Southeast Asia
Jakarta, 15 January 2026 -PT Bank Danamon Indonesia Tbk (“Danamon”, IDX: BDMN) has established a strategic partnership with PT Udara Untuk Semua (“Fairatmos”), an organization focused on climate and nature-based solutions dedicated to restoring Southeast Asia’s natural landscapes. Fairatmos operates across forest, coastal, and blue carbon ecosystems, developing high-integrity restoration projects that deliver lasting environmental, social, and economic value. The partnership was formalized through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at Menara Bank Danamon, Jakarta, on 13 January 2026. Through this collaboration, Danamon and Fairatmos will jointly advance the development of financing solutions for nature-based carbon projects, emissions calculations, as well as the issuance and trading of carbon credits. In this initiative, Fairatmos will contribute its technological expertise and international network of buyers, while Danamon will serve as a financing partner for forest management companies and carbon credit purchasers.
Herry Hykmanto, Director of Sharia & Sustainability Finance at Danamon, stated, “Danamon’s collaboration with Fairatmos represents a strategic initiative that reinforces our commitment to conducting sustainable business practices and supporting the development of sustainable financing solutions for our customers. Through this partnership, we aim to offer innovative solutions that not only contribute to reducing carbon emissions but also generate added value for our customers and the wider community. This synergy serves as a testament to the active role the financial sector can play in driving the transition toward a green economy.”
Natalia Rialucky, Chief Executive Officer of Fairatmos, remarked, “The signing of this MoU marks a historic milestone, as Danamon becomes the first financial institution in Indonesia to take the lead in providing carbon credit financing for the forestry sector. After three years of efforts to bridge the financing gap in this area, Danamon is the first partner to fully embrace this vision. With the support of Fairatmos’ technology and our network of more than 500 asset owners across Southeast Asia, this collaboration will serve as a pioneering blueprint demonstrating that Indonesia’s financial sector has the capability to lead the global advancement of nature-based financing.”
Leveraging Fairatmos’ extensive experience and expertise in conducting feasibility studies, providing technical assistance, and facilitating access to a broad network of carbon buyers and investors, Danamon will explore opportunities to develop financial solutions within the sustainability sector—particularly in financing nature-based carbon credit projects. This initiative reflects Danamon’s strong commitment to supporting Indonesia’s national sustainability agenda, in alignment with One Financial Group’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions from its operations by 2030 and from its financing portfolio by 2050.
The collaboration between Danamon and Fairatmos is expected to strengthen the national emissions reduction ecosystem and serve as an inspiration for other industry players to actively contribute to building a more sustainable future.
