Our hope, of course, is that what we have implemented in the future can be replicated for other climate instruments such as carbon trading on a wider scale."
Nursalam added, "Of course we really appreciate those who have participated in the decarbonization program through the REC trade. This shows that the responsibility towards low carbon emissions is our shared responsibility. For now, several corporations that have participated are PT Agrodana Futures, PT Phillip Futures, PT Victory International Futures, PT Magnet Berjangka Indonesia, PT Rajawali Kapital Berjangka, PT Handal Semesta Berjangka, and several other entities. In the future, we will continue to invite various parties to participate in this program."

This phase adhered to global standards in terms of technology and ecosystem. ICX is dedicated to expanding the range of climate instruments available on our platform.
