Osaka, Japan, October 8, 2025 – PT Bank Artha Graha Internasional Tbk. (BAGI) together with PT Sarinah strengthened their role as Indonesia’s proud showcase by participating in the Osaka Expo 2025. Through their presence at the Indonesia Pavilion, they not only introduced 14 curated local brands but also initiated a Sustainability Forum highlighting their commitment to sustainable business practices.
Participation in Osaka Expo 2025 marks a significant moment to demonstrate how Indonesian products now embody quality and values aligned with global trends, particularly sustainability. The Expo serves not merely as an exhibition but also as a platform for collaboration and cultural diplomacy that connects local creations with the world.
Sarinah presented a curated collection representing four main categories: traditional food and beverages, handicrafts, home décor, and souvenirs & accessories. The fourteen featured brands were showcased through four thematic display islands, designed to reflect Indonesia’s cultural richness, creativity, and innovative spirit.
Beyond product showcases, Sarinah enriched Indonesia’s participation by organizing the Sustainability Forum themed “Sarinah’s Sustainability Story: Empowering Culture, Sustaining the Future.” The forum highlighted Sarinah’s journey in developing a responsible and globally competitive business ecosystem, while facilitating discussions among stakeholders to share insights and best practices in achieving sustainable economic growth.
Sarinah also reaffirmed its role as a catalyst in nurturing local potential through empowerment programs such as Sarinah Pandu, which integrates sustainability principles into every production stage. This collaboration was further strengthened by AGI by Bank Artha Graha Internasional, which provides inclusive financing for MSMEs to grow responsibly.
