How did Mowilex impress the independent judging panel that evaluated the company’s industry-leading performance, excellent business practices and sustained growth?

“It all starts with our commitment to innovation, plus a focus on environmental responsibility, ethics and building meaningful connections with our communities, employees and stakeholders,” said Niko Safavi, CEO of PT Mowilex Indonesia. “Mowilex takes a unique approach to corporate strategy, culture and governance, and that’s what helped us earn our third annual award from Deloitte. We’re proud to be recognized as a market leader, and we continue working hard to be Indonesia's most trusted paint brand.”

Since winning its previous Deloitte award in 2023, Mowilex has further expanded its environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives. The company, which became Indonesia’s first certified carbon neutral manufacturer in 2019, earned a fifth consecutive carbon neutral certification in late 2023. To do that, Mowilex continues investing in projects that significantly increase the company's efficiency. A new Cikande production plant inaugurated in 2023 conserves resources through a zero-waste water system for domestic wastewater, along with skylights and various smart technologies. The updates reduced average monthly electricity use by 4.03 percent compared to fiscal year 2022. Additionally, the ratio of electricity usage to production output decreased by 3.47 percent. New solar panels at the Mowilex headquarters cut that facility’s carbon emissions by 22 percent in 2023, and the company recently completed its pledge to plant 50,000 mangrove trees that are increasing its positive environmental impact across Indonesia. Mowilex also supports several offset projects that advance United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

Mowilex earned a 2024 Top Brand Award for its strong brand performance and customer loyalty in the Indonesian market. Frost & Sullivan named Mowilex Indonesian Company of the Year in 2024, praising its eco-friendly products and resource-efficient operations. Mowilex has also earned Green Label certification in both Indonesia and Singapore, along with additional awards for product innovation and continuous improvement. Company employees at all levels enjoy inclusive learning opportunities, and Mowilex supports its local communities with major donations of volunteer time and products – including more than 7,650 liters of paint donated in 2023 alone.

Mowilex representatives joined Deloitte executives to celebrate the 2024 Indonesia’s Best Managed Companies awards during an Aug. 8 ceremony at Jakarta's Grand Hyatt Hotel.

“The winners of Indonesia’s Best Managed Companies awards stand out for their innovation, purpose-driven value creation, industry leadership, commitment to sustainability, active talent engagement and customer-centric mindset. Having witnessed the evolution of the winners through the awards process, particularly for those who have participated over recent years, it is remarkable to see how they have raised the bar for success among private businesses in Indonesia," said How Kiat Chua, Best Managed Companies leader, Deloitte Southeast Asia.

This year’s Best Managed Companies are located in 46 countries across the Americas, Europe and the Asia Pacific. Best Managed is a flagship program presented by Deloitte Private, a division of Deloitte exclusively focused on serving private clients of all sizes.
