Indonesia, 22 Aug 2024 - PT Bank DBS Indonesia is proud to announce its membership in Electric Mobility Ecosystem Association (Asosiasi Ekosistem Mobilitas Listrik/AEML), becoming the first and only bank to join this group of industry leaders from across the electric vehicle (EV) supply chain. This strategic partnership underscores Bank DBS Indonesia’s commitment to driving sustainable finance and supporting the rapid growth of the EV sector.

AEML comprises key players from the entire EV ecosystem, including manufacturers, suppliers, energy providers, and technology innovators. As the first financial institution to join, Bank DBS Indonesia brings a crucial perspective to the table, emphasizing the importance of accessible and innovative financing solutions to accelerate the adoption and success of electric vehicles globally.

“Our membership in AEML represents a significant milestone not only for Bank DBS Indonesia but also for the EV industry at large,” said Executive Director Institutional Banking Group at PT Bank DBS Indonesia Heru Hatman. “We recognize that the transition to electric vehicles is a key component of a sustainable future, and financing plays an integral role in making this transition possible. We are excited to collaborate with industry leaders to develop financial solutions that will drive innovation, lower barriers, and ensure the growth of the EV sector.”

As part of this collaboration, Bank DBS Indonesia, recently awarded as Indonesia’s Best Bank for ESG at Euromoney's Awards for Excellence 2024, will work closely with other members of the association to develop and implement strategies that address the unique financial challenges faced by the EV industry. This includes exploring green financing options, supporting infrastructure projects that are critical to the widespread adoption of electric vehicles, and brainstorming solutions together for challenges EV stakeholders might face.

AEML welcomed Bank DBS Indonesia as a member, recognizing the bank’s leadership in sustainable finance and its track record of supporting environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives. “We are thrilled to have Bank DBS Indonesia join our association. Their expertise in financing and commitment to sustainability will be invaluable as we work together to advance the electric vehicle industry,” said Chairman of AEML Dannif Danusaputro.

With this membership, Bank DBS Indonesia continues to position itself at the forefront of sustainable finance, reinforcing its role as a key enabler in the transition to a low-carbon economy.
