Sidoarjo, 22 August 2025 - As a leader and locomotive of the paint and coating industry in Indonesia, Avian Brands has colored the lives of millions of families for more than four decades. More than just bringing color to walls and buildings, Avian Brands brings meaning, spirit, and hope to every corner of homes and public spaces throughout the archipelago. Now, with great pride, Avian Brands announces that the company has successfully passed a rigorous verification process and is officially recognized in the FTSE Russell index—one of the most prestigious and credible global financial market indexes in the world, which objectively assesses company sustainability performance based on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards.
FTSE Russell is not just any institution. As part of the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), FTSE Russell is widely known as a global index provider used by institutional investors, financial analysts, and asset managers worldwide to measure a company's integrity, resilience, and long-term performance. The process for inclusion in this index is highly selective and demands data transparency, consistency in ESG practices, and concrete proof of sustainable and measurable sustainability implementation. In other words, not all companies can meet the high standards set by FTSE Russell.
Therefore, Avian Brands' inclusion in FTSE Russell is not only a strategic achievement in strengthening the company's international reputation, but also an official recognition from the global financial world of Avian Brands' commitment, integrity, and seriousness in building a responsible and sustainable business. The assessment by FTSE Russell covers various aspects reflecting how well the company manages risks and opportunities related to environmental impact, social impact, and good governance. This success proves that Avian Brands is on the right transformation path to become an industry player that excels not only in product innovation, but also in ethics, inclusivity, and concern for our shared future.
As a further strategic step reinforcing this achievement, Avian Brands officially launched the Avian Brands Sustainability Strategy, a strategic initiative designed to create a better future. This strategy is built on four main pillars:
- Product Pillars; creating innovative, safe, and environmentally friendly products;
- Environment Pillars; preserving nature through energy efficiency, waste reduction, and resource conservation;
- People & Community Pillars; empowering employees and making real contributions to surrounding communities;
- Governance Pillars; upholding transparent, ethical, and responsible corporate governance.
Ruslan Tanoko, Vice President Director of Avian Brands, stated: "Our inclusion in the FTSE Russell index is a proud recognition of our commitment to conducting sustainable business. However, for us, this is not the end but the beginning of a larger step. With the launch of this sustainability strategy, we want to ensure that all Avian Brands' business activities provide real added value for the environment, society, and all stakeholders."
