BDO Indonesia and Singapore-based MVGX have unveiled a new artificial intelligence-driven platform designed to assist Indonesian businesses in streamlining their sustainability reporting processes.
The platform aims to automate data management, significantly reducing the time and cost associated with manual reporting tasks. Companies using the system are expected to produce sustainability reports in approximately half the time usually required. The tool is also said to improve the accuracy of reported data through automated analysis and structured workflows.
The collaboration between BDO and MVGX began in September 2023, initially focusing on carbon-related services via MVGX’s Carbon Connect offering. It has since expanded to cover broader environmental, social, and governance (ESG) requirements, supporting businesses in aligning with both local regulations and international standards, such as those set by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB).
Key features of the platform include a proprietary AI inference engine and a locally tailored emissions factor database. These technologies provide companies with step-by-step guidance throughout the reporting process. An integrated online form and questionnaire system has also been developed to promote consistency and ease submissions, particularly for publicly listed companies, supporting regulatory compliance and user-friendliness.
The expanded partnership signals a wider move towards the digitalisation of environmental reporting practices, reflecting growing expectations for corporate transparency and sustainability.
Commenting on the launch, Thano Tanubrata, CEO of BDO Indonesia, said: “The AI-powered sustainability reporting platform represents a major step forward in our ongoing collaboration with MVGX and our commitment to equipping Indonesian businesses with innovative, future-ready sustainability solutions. ESG compliance is no longer just about meeting regulations; it is about shaping long-term corporate resilience, investor confidence, and market competitiveness. By combining our expertise in governance, risk management, and compliance with MVGX’s technological leadership, we are delivering a powerful solution that simplifies ESG reporting while ensuring companies remain accountable, agile, and ahead of the curve.”
