By using artificial intelligence on the Lestari platform, we classify articles based on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) categories, which help understand patterns and areas that require more attention."

"This initiative has been globally recognized, winning the gold award at the Digital Media Awards 2024. We continue to amplify and appreciate best sustainability practices through the Lestari Awards & Summit 2024, which we hope to hold in August 2024," added Andy Budiman.

We need support from others to collaborate in achieving sustainable development."
