Convened by PT Dex Solusi Transit · 2026

“Transformation cannot start from procedure. It begins with paradigm.”

A note from the convenor

Indonesia's urban transformation is a settled reality and the engine of our emerging market power. As urbanisation sweeps across the archipelago, our challenge is to build on terms that guarantee resilience against climate and infrastructure pressures. By actively unlocking green finance opportunities, we can fund the transition toward sustainable, digitally empowered cities built on solid economic, environmental and social foundations for the next generation.

The programme is deliberately two-phase. The in-house executive workshop begins at home — interrogating assumptions, building a shared language, shifting the old paradigm, and forging the analytical lens the leadership team will carry into the field. Only then does the international leadership course follow, bringing developers, corporate leaders and policymakers face-to-face with the world's most proven models of sustainable city-making.

Urban solutions cannot be imported wholesale. They must be debated and adapted by Indonesian leaders who have seen, firsthand, what works — in Singapore's nature-integrated planning, Hong Kong's transit-oriented heritage density, Tokyo's land-value capture and resilience frameworks, and the green finance structures that make each of them bankable.

The Institute

The executive arm of a sustainability practice.

DEX Institute is the executive education arm of PT Dex Solusi Transit — Indonesia's sustainability-driven development consultancy for land and built-environment projects.

The Institute extends DEX's consulting practice into formal teaching for senior leadership teams. Our flagship offering is a closed, bespoke programme commissioned by individual organisations for their own boards and senior executives, delivered as a single calibrated engagement that combines an in-house executive workshop with an immersive international leadership course.

  • 01

    Bespoke

    Calibrated to each client's sector and assets.

  • 02

    Closed

    Single-organisation cohorts only.

  • 03

    Two-Phase

    Workshop in-house, leadership course abroad.

Rationale

Sustainability is now a financial conversation.

Capital Access

Lender-Driven

ESG-linked loan pricing, OJK Taksonomi Hijau, and Scope 3 reporting now shape the cost and availability of capital.

Market Access

Buyer-Driven

EU import standards, Meeting Green Building and product certifications, and multinational supply-chain pressure increasingly condition export access.

Operational Risk

Climate-Driven

Coastal assets, cold chains, and production facilities face rising exposure to flooding, heat, and supply disruption.

O&M Efficiency

Lifecycle Cost

Reduce operational cost significantly, increase financial health, and asset/ property value.

The question is no longer whether to transform — it is whether the leadership team can see what transformation actually requires, and act on it together.

Programme structure

Two phases, one transformation.

Phase 1 builds the shared paradigm. Phase 2 crystallises it through direct observation of international precedent. Both phases are required; each is calibrated to the client's sector and assets.

Phase 01 · Paradigm

In-House Executive Workshop

A bespoke workshop convened on secluded local premises. Curriculum, depth, and expert lineup are all calibrated to the client's sector and transformation agenda.

Phase 02 · Crystallisation

Leadership Course Abroad

An immersive international site-visit programme. Destinations are selected for direct relevance to the client's sector — Japan or Australia for fisheries, Singapore or Hong Kong for urban developers.

Phase 01

In-House Executive Workshop

The first phase is delivered at the client's premises as a closed, in-house programme for the senior leadership team. Curriculum scope and module sequencing are calibrated jointly with the client during programme preparation. Each module combines a DEX-led executive lecture with curated external experts whose voice is calibrated to the client's industry.

Executive synthesis & opportunity map

A six-module arc.

The standard architecture below establishes the conceptual through-line. For each engagement, individual modules expand or contract around the client's priority themes.

  1. 01

    Why Sustainability?

    Global, national, and corporate context. The shift from CSR to risk, value, and capital.

  2. 02

    Sector Context

    Sustainability translated into the client's specific industry and asset typology.

  3. 03

    Why & What Green Building

    Green building principles applied to operational facilities, plants, and kawasan (estates).

  4. 04

    LCA & EPD

    Life Cycle Assessment and Environmental Product Declaration as the basis for credible reporting.

  5. 05

    Sustainable Area Renewal

    Strategy for renewing aging assets into climate-resilient, productive areas.

  6. 06

    ESG & Green Finance

    How verified sustainability data unlocks specific financing pathways.

Faculty & expert network

A curated layer of external voices.

The workshop is led by DEX's senior practitioners, supported by a curated network of external experts whose participation is calibrated to the client's sector. Each external voice serves a specific learning purpose in a specific module.

  • Green Building Council Indonesia

    Industry witness on certification and the national standard.

  • Life Cycle & EPD specialist

    Co-presenter on life cycle analysis, Environmental Product Declaration, and the technical mechanics of credible reporting.

  • Green finance practitioner

    How lending institutions evaluate green finance applications in practice.

  • Financial regulator

    Optional regulatory voice on green finance and reporting requirements.

  • Sector regulator

    Government direction on the client's specific industry — calibrated per engagement.

  • Peer practitioner

    A visionary corporation or state-owned enterprise on its own transformation toward sustainable practice.

Phase 02

Leadership Course Abroad

Three working days of immersive international site visits, preceded by a 2.5-hour online opening lecture. Destinations are selected for direct relevance to the client's sector and asset portfolio.

Each day combines a major site visit, a structured engagement with host counterparts, and a synthesis discussion. Participants observe both excellence in sustainability and excellence in commercial outcomes — two qualities rarely found together. The cohort returns with shared visual and conceptual reference points, and a clear analytical lens for the transformation work that follows.

A leadership course tuned to the client's sector.

Destinations, host institutions, and observation themes are selected for each engagement. The pairings below indicate the range — not the menu.

Strategic focus

Where verified data earns capital.

ESG defines what is measured. Green Finance prices the result. The programme converges here — the most actionable strategic conversation, and the most enduring.

ESG

The measurement layer

The shift
CSR has been replaced by a board-level capital question.
What it requires
Quantitative, third-party verified data, with LCA and EPD as the foundation.
Indonesian frame
OJK Taksonomi Hijau, BUMN reporting, and ISSB alignment.
DEX anchor
A standing partnership with Life Cycle Indonesia, which also specialises in preparing ESG reports.

Green Finance

The capital layer

The shift
Capital cost is now priced against sustainability performance.
Instruments
Green loans, sustainability-linked loans, green bonds, and blended finance.
Channels
Indonesian development banks, commercial lenders, and blended-finance facilities.
Bankability
Baseline, KPIs, project-level governance, and verified outcomes.

Verified data unlocks specific financing terms. Every module of the programme builds toward this hinge.
