Successfully Reduces Carbon Intensity 77% Below Global Standards, Rukita Featured in UN Global Compact Indonesia’s “Impact Story 2025”

Jakarta, May 2026 — PT Rukita Bhinneka Indonesia (Rukita), a leading property technology company in Indonesia, has been recognized in the UN Global Compact Indonesia (IGCN) Impact Story 2025: Responsible Business for the Future. The recognition places Rukita among 38 selected companies whose impact stories were published out of 179 member companies, highlighting its integration of sustainability into its core business.

The Impact Story publication, released by UN Global Compact Indonesia, serves as a continuation of its 2019 initiative to spotlight how businesses contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through this platform, companies share tangible actions and long-term commitments that demonstrate how responsible business practices can shape a more sustainable future.

Rukita’s inclusion alongside major corporations such as Sinarmas, Pertamina, Wijaya Karya (WIKA), Tjiwi Kimia Tbk, and Martha Tilaar Group underscores the growing role of property technology players in advancing responsible and sustainable business practices in Indonesia.

Addressing Urban Living Challenges Through Sustainable Innovation

At the heart of Rukita’s contribution is its flagship ESG initiative, Building a Low-Carbon Future for Urban Living, which was developed to address a fundamental challenge in Indonesia’s urban landscape: the need for accessible, high-quality housing that does not come at the expense of the environment. By combining technology, operational efficiency, and community engagement, the company has built a scalable co-living model designed to minimize its carbon footprint while maintaining strong business performance.

The initiative is grounded in a data-driven approach. Rukita began by conducting a comprehensive carbon baseline assessment across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions categories, enabling the company to establish clear reduction targets. This foundation has allowed Rukita to implement concrete measures across its portfolio, including the full adoption of energy-efficient LED lighting and the gradual integration of solar water heaters, which are now used in a portion of its properties.

Delivering Measurable Environmental and Business Impact

These efforts have translated into measurable outcomes, with Rukita recording an average carbon intensity of 13.1 kgCO₂ per square meter, lower than both national and global benchmarks. Its flagship property, Rukita Askara Tanah Abang, has demonstrated even stronger performance, setting a new internal benchmark for sustainable co-living developments.

Beyond environmental performance, the company has also focused on improving tenant experience and strengthening value for its landlord partners. Through its proprietary Building Happiness Index (BHI), Rukita has consistently tracked and improved resident satisfaction, while maintaining high occupancy rates across its portfolio. This integrated approach reflects the company’s belief that sustainability and profitability are not mutually exclusive, but instead reinforce one another.

“Being featured in the UN Global Compact Indonesia Impact Story 2025 is a meaningful milestone for us,” said Sabrina Soewatdy, CEO & Founder of Rukita. “From the beginning, we believed that solving urban housing challenges must go hand in hand with environmental responsibility. This recognition validates our approach and motivates us to continue building a scalable model that delivers both positive impact and long-term value.”

Strengthening ESG Commitment Through Global Collaboration

Since joining the United Nations Global Compact in July 2025, Rukita has viewed its membership as a strategic step to further strengthen its ESG framework. The company continues to leverage the IGCN platform to access global best practices, expand collaborations, and accelerate the adoption of sustainable technologies across its operations.

Looking ahead, Rukita aims to extend its impact beyond its own portfolio by influencing the broader property ecosystem in Indonesia. By demonstrating that sustainable housing can achieve high occupancy rates and deliver stable returns, the company hopes to encourage more property owners and developers to adopt similar approaches.

Driving Industry-Wide Change for a Sustainable Future

Ultimately, Rukita’s inclusion in the UN Global Compact Indonesia Impact Story 2025 signals more than recognition, it marks a defining moment in how the future of urban living is being shaped. As cities continue to grow and environmental pressures intensify, the need for scalable, responsible housing solutions becomes increasingly urgent.

By demonstrating that sustainability can drive both impact and performance, Rukita is positioning itself at the forefront of a new generation of property companies where innovation is measured not only by growth, but by its contribution to people and the planet. This milestone reinforces Rukita’s long-term vision: to redefine urban living in Indonesia through solutions that are not only accessible and high-quality, but also fundamentally sustainable.
