Bank Mandiri has introduced a new sustainability program, Mandiri Looping for Life, at the INACRAFT 2026 festival.
The initiative aims to promote the circular economy and preserve Indonesian cultural heritage by collaborating with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the craft sector.
This marks a strategic expansion of the bank’s corporate social responsibility efforts, moving beyond traditional financial inclusion to address environmental and cultural sustainability goals.
The launch underscores a broader shift in how major Indonesian financial institutions are engaging with the SME sector.
While Bank Mandiri has previously focused on facilitating international market entry for local brands—such as supporting Fisnack and SILA Tea at the Summer Fancy Food Show 2026—this new program emphasizes domestic value creation and sustainable production methods.
By integrating circular economy principles into the craft industry, the bank seeks to enhance the long-term viability of these businesses while reducing environmental impact.
