Sidoarjo, December 22, 2025 - PT Avia Avian Tbk (Avian Brands) has once again achieved a significant milestone in the company's sustainability journey. Based on Sustainalytics' latest rating, Avian Brands earned a score of 17.3, officially placing it in Low Risk category for ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) risks.

This Low Risk rating from Sustainalytics serves as a truly meaningful end-of-year gift for Avian Brands in 2025. Amidst industry dynamics and global demands for sustainable business practices, this recognition reflects hard work, consistency, and commitment of all company personnel throughout the year.

Within a short period, Avian Brands has successfully built a solid sustainability foundation through cross-functional collaboration, management commitment, and integration of ESG into the company's business strategy.

As a public company, Avian Brands is gradually improving its governance, transparency, and accountability, while ensuring that business growth goes hand in hand with environmental and social responsibility.

Avian Brands continuously refines its sustainability reports with more comprehensive, data-driven standards that are aligned with global best practices. On the operational side, various initiatives in environmental management, energy efficiency, environmentally friendly product innovation, and social and governance improvements are continuously being implemented in a targeted manner.

 

Strategic Role of High-Calibre Human Capital

This achievement is also the result of tangible contributions from high-calibre human capital across all departments. Cross-functional collaboration, from Quality Assurance & Sustainability, operations, supply chain, RDI, human capital, finance, risk management, to corporate governance, plays a key role in ensuring that ESG implementation is not limited to specific sectors, but fully integrated into all of the company's business processes. The company’s collaborative work culture and shared commitment have positioned sustainability not merely as a reporting obligation, but as a core value and an integral part of how Avian Brands conducts its business.

 

A First for Indonesia’s Paint and Coatings Industry

With this achievement, Avian Brands has become the first Indonesian paint and coating company to earn a Low Risk rating from Sustainalytics. More than just a source of pride for the company, this also marks a significant milestone for the national paint and coating industry in adopting sustainable practices that meet global standards.

 

Demonstrating the Role of Indonesian Companies on the Global Stage

Robert Tanoko, Director of Operations and Development of Avian Brands, stated: 

“This achievement goes beyond a corporate milestone. Avian Brands’ success demonstrates that an Indonesian homegrown company is capable of playing a meaningful role in the global ESG agenda. With strong commitment, the right strategy, and consistent execution, domestic companies can compete internationally, gain recognition, and make tangible contributions to sustainable development in the global level.”

Looking ahead, Avian Brands remains committed to continuously improving its ESG performance, accelerating innovation, and creating long-term value for all stakeholders, in line with the company’s vision to grow in a responsible and sustainable manner.
