PPM School of Management and IS2P Formalize Strategic Partnership to Advance Sustainability Management

Menteng – PPM School of Management has officially established a partnership with the Indonesian Society of Sustainability Professionals (IS2P) through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) held at the AM Kadarman Room, PPM Manajemen, on June 17. This partnership marks a strategic step for both institutions in strengthening human resource development, professional competencies, and the sustainability management ecosystem in Indonesia.

The collaboration encompasses various educational and competency development programs in the field of sustainability, ranging from curriculum and learning material development, professional training and certification, and joint research, to community service initiatives that support sustainable development. This partnership is also expected to strengthen the implementation of the Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi (Three Pillars of Higher Education) through synergy between academia and the professional community.

In his remarks, Dean of PPM School of Management, Dr. Wendra, emphasized that a company’s success is not measured solely by profit generation. According to him, profitable companies need to deliver a broader impact to society through sustainable initiatives. He stressed that sustainability is a vital part of an organization’s responsibility in creating long-term value for all stakeholders.

This perspective was echoed by the Chairperson of IS2P, Satrio Dwi Prakoso. In his address, he stated that the greatest challenge in realizing sustainability agendas often lies in the readiness and competence of human resources within an organization. Therefore, enhancing competencies is a key factor enabling companies to translate sustainability commitments into concrete action.

Furthermore, Satrio emphasized that every challenge inherently brings opportunities. Through the collaboration between PPM School of Management and IS2P, it is hoped that more individuals and organizations will understand the principles of sustainability management and effectively implement them into their business and organizational practices. Consequently, contributions toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will become more tangible and measurable.

The MoU was signed by the Dean of PPM School of Management and the Chairperson of IS2P, witnessed by the leadership boards of both institutions. The ceremony continued with a group photo session and an exchange of mementos as a symbol of both parties’ commitment to building a sustainable collaboration.

Through this partnership, PPM School of Management and IS2P are optimistic about delivering programs that are relevant to the needs of the business world and society. The introduction of the Master of Management (MM) in Sustainability program, as one of the concrete steps of this collaboration, is expected to serve as a platform to foster professional talents capable of driving transformation toward more sustainable development in Indonesia.
