Jakarta (Antara Bali) - Indonesia has the potential of  becoming one of the world's ten countries that apply  environment-based business practices toward the realization of sustainable development in 2050.

Indonesian Business Council for Sustainable Development Special Adviser Neil Frankliln said here on Monday that sustainable development was an effective approach to economic development because it was well-structured to reduce the impact of climate change.

"Thus, sustainable development policies are an effective approach and therefore Indonesia needs to enter into  new partnership with many countries and civil society  who care about the environment," Neil said.

He said that in the future  sustainable development would be a comprehensive solution to increase the value of a company from commercial side and social dimension.

"There will be great  business opportunities by the creation of  even more new valuable products and services," Neil said.

Meanwhile, World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) Regional Director Marcel Engel said Indonesia was the youngest but an important member in the sustainable development program.

"With its relevant relation in the political, environment, and economic aspect, Indonesia is the country of priority for the WBCSD," Marcel said.(**)
