“In the poorest communities around the world, hundreds of millions of people –especially women and children -- spend hours each day collecting firewood and water. The health toll from unclean water and household air pollution is immense. Inadequate sanitation presents a further threat to health, dignity and development. Some 2.5 billion people lack access to adequate sanitation; some 1 billion people practice open defecation. Access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene must feature prominently in the post-2015 development agenda. We must improve water quality and the management of water resources and wastewater. This is a matter of justice and opportunity.”

Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary-General's remarks at General Assembly thematic debate on Water, Sanitation and Sustainable Energy in the Post-2015 Development Agenda

New York, 18 February 2014

Foreword

We made greater collaboration to work on water issues in 2014. Therefore, I would like to thank you to all partners within this collaboration for your dedication and efforts to concretely act towards the water problems. Water scarcity will definitely trigger the conflict and it will expand rapidly. If we do not act immediately then the water war will be unavoidable. We aware that water issues have complex links. It links to health, human rights, economy, politics and many more. Therefore, we should develop collaborative actions to resolve it comprehensively. In this report we would like to share our collaboration to promote and campaign the urgency to preserve water by delivering series of event and to develop community by doing community based total sanitation. Through World Water Day Commemoration, we successfully involved more than 1.000 participants in three consecutive years (2012, 2013 & 2014). We created a multi-stakeholders dialogue, developed a collaborative campaign, delivered education about water and environment to elementary school until university student. We built a massive movement called “1 Million Biopores” to improve water absorption on soil layer in order to increase the water capacity. To date, we have reached 361.248 biopores or 36% from the target. Through this report, I challenge you to join this movement. We also developed a community in Penjaringan, North Jakarta, to aware and act in preserving the environment through the program called “Community Based Total Sanitation”. In this first stage, we are focused on developing waste bank program to generate more income for the community and to ensure the community preserve the environment by their own initiative. More than 20 stakeholders were collaborated within the projects and movement above. It shows an optimistic vision and opportunity to scale up and create greater impact to the community. I hope this report could inspire and assist you to start the action to preserve and maintain the water sustainability.

Y.W. Junardy President of Indonesia Global Compact Network

Background

1. Water Challenges in Indonesia

Since its independency 69 years ago, Indonesia has been successful in development, including poverty reduction and human development. However, challenges remain. Improved economy, reduction of poverty, improved technology, and urbanization are some factors influencing the rising demands for water, as it is required as a basic need of human life, health, food production, industrial process, and energy production. Economic development which is not supported by good infrastructure and institutional capacity has increased water insecurity, which then will cause adverse impacts on human health and environment. If persisted, the low quality of health and environment will slow down the economic growth. Among the main causes of infant mortality in Indonesia, two of them are diarrhea and typhoid, fecal-borne illnesses directly associated to inadequate water supply, sanitation and hygiene. Improving access to safe water and sanitation is a key priority. Bappenas (National Development Planning Board) reported that currently about 120 million Indonesians do not have access to adequate sanitation. The Director of Housing and Settlement of Bappenas, Nugroho Tri Utomo, explained that since being independent in 1945, only 61.1% of Indonesians have access to adequate sanitation and 67.8% have access to drinking water. Indonesian government has set the target to provide access to adequate sanitation and drinking water to 100% of the citizens. Tri Utomo also stated that if a country is not able to provide sanitation and drinking water as the basic needs of the citizens, rapid development and economic growth will not make the country more developed. The Director of Disease Control and Environmental Health of The Ministry of Health, Wilfried Purba, revealed that based on the Basic Health Survey (Riskesdas) 2013, 40.2% Indonesians did not have access to clean water for sanitation. Indonesia suffers economic loss for IDR 56.7 trillion per year because of poor sanitation. The World Health Organization (WHO) study stated that every USD 1 invested to improve sanitation would produce at least USD 8 in return. Meanwhile, environmental modification, including community-based total sanitation, was found to decrease diarrhea for 94%. National Stakeholders Consultation on Water, which was held in 2013 attended by representatives from Bappenas, ministries, river basin organizations, water utility providers, universities, NGOs, Global Water Partnership and Indonesia Water Partnership has identified key national priorities for the sustainable development of water in Indonesia. Analysis and recommendation were addressed for water resources management, water sanitation and hygiene (WASH), wastewater and water quality, and future sustainable development targets for water. Collective actions are needed to achieve the targets for each key priority.

2. United Nations Global Compact – CEO Water Mandate*

Launched by the UN Secretary-General in July 2007, the UN Global Compact’s CEO Water Mandate is a unique public-private initiative designed to assist companies in the development, implementation and disclosure of water sustainability policies and practices. The Mandate recognizes that the business sector, through the production of goods and services, impacts water resources – both directly and through supply chains. Endorsing CEOs acknowledge that in order to operate in a more sustainable manner, and contribute to the vision of the Global Compact and the realization of the Millennium Development Goals, they have a responsibility to make water-resources management a priority, and to work with governments, UN agencies, non-governmental organizations, and other stakeholders to address this global water challenge. The CEO Water Mandate covers six elements: Direct Operations; Supply Chain and Watershed Management; Collective Action; Public Policy; Community Engagement; and Transparency. The CEO Water Mandate seeks to build an international movement of committed companies, both leaders and learners. In this spirit, the initiative is open to companies of all sizes and from all sectors, and from all parts of the world. The initiative requires the endorsement of a company’s Chief Executive Officer, or equivalent. The CEO Water Mandate is voluntary and aspirational. Nonetheless it represents a commitment to action. Its structure covers six key areas and is designed to assist companies in developing a comprehensive approach to water management. The six areas are: Direct Operations • Conduct a comprehensive water-use assessment to understand the extent to which

the company uses water in the direct production of goods and services. • Set targets for our operations related to water conservation and waste-water

treatment, framed in a corporate cleaner production and consumption strategy. • Seek to invest in and use new technologies to achieve these goals. • Raise awareness of water sustainability within corporate culture. • Include water sustainability considerations in business decision making – e.g.,

facility-siting, due diligence, and production processes. *http://www.unglobalcompact.org/issues/environment/ceo_water_mandate/

3

Supply Chain and Watershed Management • Encourage suppliers to improve their water conservation, quality monitoring,

waste-water treatment, and recycling practices. • Build capacities to analyze and respond to watershed risk. • Encourage and facilitate suppliers in conducting assessments of water usage and

impacts. • Share water sustainability practices – established and emerging – with suppliers. • Encourage major suppliers to report regularly on progress achieved related to goals. Collective Action • Build closer ties with civil society organizations, especially at the regional and local

levels. • Work with national, regional and local governments and public authorities to

address water sustainability issues and policies, as well as with relevant international institutions – e.g., the UNEP Global Programme of Action.

• Encourage development and use of new technologies, including efficient irrigation methods, new plant varieties, drought resistance, water efficiency and salt tolerance.

• Be actively involved in the UN Global Compact’s Country Networks. • Support the work of existing water initiatives involving the private sector – e.g., the

Global Water Challenge; UNICEF’s Water, Environment and Sanitation Program; IFRC Water and Sanitation Program; the World Economic Forum Water Initiative – and collaborate with other relevant UN bodies and intergovernmental organizations – e.g., the World Health Organization, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, and the World Bank Group.

Public Policy • Contribute inputs and recommendations in the formulation of government

regulation and in the creation of market mechanisms in ways that drive the water sustainability agenda.

• Exercise “business statesmanship” by being advocates for water sustainability in global and local policy discussions, clearly presenting the role and responsibility of the private sector in supporting integrated water resource management.

• Partner with governments, businesses, civil society and other stakeholders – for example specialized institutes such as the Stockholm International Water Institute, UNEP Collaborating Centre on Water and Environment, and UNESCO’s Institute for Water Education – to advance the body of knowledge, intelligence and tools.

• Join and/or support special policy-oriented bodies and associated frameworks – e.g., UNEP’s Water Policy and Strategy; UNDP’s Water Governance Programme.

4

Community Engagement • Endeavor to understand the water and sanitation challenges in the communities

where we operate and how our businesses impact those challenges. • Be active members of the local community, and encourage or provide support to

local government, groups and initiatives seeking to advance the water and sanitation agendas.

• Undertake water-resource education and awareness campaigns in partnership with local stakeholders.

• Work with public authorities and their agents to support – when appropriate – the development of adequate water infrastructure, including water and sanitation delivery systems.

Transparency • Include a description of actions and investments undertaken in relation to The CEO

Water Mandate in our annual Communications on Progress for the UN Global Compact, making reference to relevant performance indicators such as the water indicators found in the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Guidelines.

• Publish and share our water strategies (including targets and results as well as areas for improvement) in relevant corporate reports, using – where appropriate – the water indicators found in the GRI Guidelines.

• Be transparent in dealings and conversations with governments and other public authorities on water issues.

3. Indonesia Water Mandate Working Group The Indonesia Water Mandate Working Group was established in 2011, after the first five companies in Indonesia signed up to the UN CEO Water Mandate initiative. The initial objective of the Working Group is to ensure that the five pledging companies have adequate knowledge of the six principles of the CEO Water Mandate and to understand how to implement these principles inside as well as outside of their operational boundaries. As the Group grows in size from the initial five companies to other interested corporations, academicians, associations and NGOs, the objective of the Working Group will expand beyond sharing knowledge about best practices in the Water Mandate Principles to implementing the principles individually and collaboratively. Indonesia Water Mandate Working Group is a part of the Indonesia Global Compact Network programs. The Group is Chaired by Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) and supported by IGCN secretariat. The Indonesia Water Mandate Working Group is a part of the Indonesia Global Compact Network (IGCN) initiative. The founding companies are: • PT. Martina Berto Tbk • Green Eagle Group • Asia Pulp & Paper Group (APP) • Ranch Market • Express group The Group is chaired by a representative from APP and is supported by Express Group and the Secretariat of IGCN for its administrative tasks and project coordination. As the urgency of water issues grows in Indonesia, many other organizations including NGOs, associations, academicians/universities as well as other corporations are expected to join the Working Group to share their concerns and make commitments toward the importance of sustainable water management in Indonesia.

Water is the main energy source for living things, after air and sunlight. Related to energy, water is not only the biggest component of a human body, but is also used as an energy source which can produce another form of energy (such as electricity through hydro power plants), for irrigation, and other life aspects. Various problems arise due to water, such as flood in rainy season, drought in dry season, scarcity of clean water, lack of adequate sanitation, and solid and liquid waste polluting waters in Indonesia, whether polluting rivers, seas, dams, or lakes. This case is also happening in almost all parts of the world. Water and energy are now two biggest challenges faced by the people in this planet. As population grows, the need of water and energy will automatically and continually increase. A current report by the United Nations (UN) titled "World Water Development Report" (WWDR) stated that a policy on water will influence energy sector, and vice versa. This is caused by the interdependency between water and energy resources. WWDR’s report also mentioned that 75% of water withdrawn by the industry is used to generate energy. Low price or subsidy for clean water provision will prevent the initiatives by the industry to save water usage. Currently, about 90% of electricity production is generated by water. And in 2035, the need for water to generate electricity will increase for 85%. Interdependency between water and energy will continually increase, especially in the sectors of production/manufacturing and transportation of energy resources such as coal, petroleum, gas and uranium. Even using latest technology, nuclear and geothermal power plants still need water for cooling. Water is also the main component of hydro power plant. Biofuel production also needs water, because production of biofuel requires plants to be supplied with water.

In order to support government program in promoting Community Based Total Sanitation or in Indonesian language called Sanitasi Total Berbasis Masyarakat (STBM), therefore IGCN in partnership with WVI initiate the waste bank program called “Bank Sampah Maju Bersama” which simply means together we can move forward by implementing waste bank program. This program is located at Penjaringan District, RW 12 & 13, North Jakarta. We set up the program in May 2013 and implemented in October 2014. We call it “Triggering Phase” for this first stage. This phase took 6 months, October 2013 until March 2014, from coordination with Head of District, socialization to communities, establishment of official secretariat who will take care day-to-day operational, until the launch of the waste bank.

Coordinated by Indonesia Global Compact Network (IGCN) Implemented by Wahana Visi Indonesia (WVI) Supported by Asia Pulp & Paper Indonesia, Rajawali Foundation, Green Eagle
