JAKARTA, INDONESIA (FRIDAY, 20/DECEMBER/2024)- AC Ventures, a leading Southeast
Asian venture capital firm, has officially released its 2024 Impact Report, titled
“Accelerating Impact into New Heights.” Developed in collaboration with Deloitte in
Indonesia, the report underscores AC Ventures’ commitment to fostering innovation,
advancing sustainability, and driving meaningful change across Indonesia and the broader
region. Covering the firm’s achievements and progress, the report offers an in-depth
exploration of AC Ventures’ contributions across three core pillars: economic growth,
social inclusion, and environmental sustainability.
Helen Wong, Managing Partner at AC Ventures, stated, “At AC Ventures, we firmly
believe venture capital has the power to transform industries and lives for the better. This
report highlights how our portfolio companies are championing innovation while making a
tangible impact and fighting climate change. From empowering communities to
accelerating sustainability, our mission is to build a future where businesses thrive
alongside an inclusive society and a sustainable environment.”
The Impact Report highlights AC Ventures’ ongoing commitment to drive positive
outcomes. Over 30,000 direct jobs were created by AC Ventures-backed companies,
empowering more than four million individuals and businesses through digital tools and
financial inclusion. 40% of these companies are led or co-led by women, advancing gender
equity in Southeast Asia. Companies like Supermom are actively bridging opportunity gaps.
Sustainability is a core focus of AC Ventures’ investment strategy. The firm’s climate-tech
portfolio companies have been instrumental in accelerating environmental impact. These
companies have collectively reduced and avoided more than four million metric tons of
CO2 emissions. Accacia, a leader in decarbonizing the real estate sector, helped its clients
cut 3.5 million metric tons of CO2, while Xurya’s rooftop solar energy solutions prevented
over 1.1 million metric tons of CO2 emissions. Xurya has generated over 1.18 billion kWh of
renewable energy through solar projects, helping to significantly reduce dependence on
fossil fuels across Indonesia. ASTRO recycled over 166 tons of cardboard packaging in
collaboration with local vendors, and Fore Coffee reduced its plastic bag usage by 77%,
recycling nearly one ton of cups across its stores.
Deloitte, which played a key role in guiding the development of the report, emphasized its
importance as a tool for transparency and progress. Imelda M. Orbito, Director at PT
Deloitte Konsultan Indonesia, and also serves as an expert in Sustainability and
Climate Change said, “An Impact Report is more than just a set of metrics—it tells the
story of an organization’s journey toward positive transformation. This report is a
testament to AC Ventures’ visionary leadership and measurable contributions to society. It
was an honor to collaborate with AC Ventures in structuring this report and aligning it with
global best practices.”
As AC Ventures looks to the future, the firm remains committed to strong governance and
advancing gender diversity within its investment strategy. Looking ahead, AC Ventures is
focused on accelerating innovation, championing sustainable growth, and driving
measurable impact across Southeast Asia.
