Leading the Jakarta kitchen is Chef Alejandro García Martín, a seasoned Spanish head chef with over 15 years of international culinary experience. Under Chef Iñigo’s guidance, Chef Alejandro will bring the ERRE & Urrechu ethos to life — focusing on quality ingredients, live-fire grilling, and honest Spanish flavors.

Chef Urrechu’s distinguished journey includes roles at Martín (three Michelin stars), Le Pain Adour et Fantaisie by Didier Oudil (two Michelin stars), and Madrid’s El Amparo de Carmen Guasp. His philosophy, deeply rooted in Basque traditions, is defined by excellence, elegance, and integrity.

“At ERRE & Urrechu, we let the ingredients speak for themselves. The grill, the freshness, and the authenticity are at the heart of what we do,” said Chef Alejandro García Martín.

Strategically located in the HR Rasuna Said area, ERRE & Urrechu Jakarta will be part of a new wave of culinary destinations redefining the Kuningan dining scene. Just moments away from embassies, multinational offices, and premium residences, the restaurant is well positioned to cater to both diplomatic and executive clientele, as well as cosmopolitan diners seeking refined, authentic Spanish cuisine.

The venue is poised to welcome a diverse mix of guests — from seasoned travelers and Jakarta’s culinary enthusiasts, to discerning hotel guests and professionals seeking a stylish yet relaxed setting for business or leisure. With its vibrant yet refined ambiance and a menu that brings the soul of Spanish cuisine to Jakarta, ERRE & Urrechu Jakarta is set to become one of the city’s most talked-about culinary landmarks.

Bribery, particularly in the form of kickbacks remains a serious threat that undermines corporate integrity and damages institutional or organization reputation.

One recent case in Indonesia involved two senior officials at a state-owned banking institution who became suspects in the misuse of advertising funds through agency service procurement. In this scheme, the bank allocated a substantial advertising budget to several agencies, but a large portion of the funds was not used for actual media placements. Instead, the money was funneled back as kickbacks and served as unofficial internal funds.

Such practices are not confined to top executives. Similar patterns of corruption can also be found at the operational level in public services. In daily interactions with administrative offices, for instance, people often feel the need to offer cash bribes to expedite services.

Kickbacks, illicit payments made in exchange for securing business deals or favors are not limited to one industry or type of organization. They frequently occur across both public and private sectors. As seen in the earlier case, funds intended to support campaign activities were diverted for personal gain. Such practices not only disrupt fair business processes but also harm a broad range of stakeholders, including customers, partners, and the wider community.

Common barriers to effective Anti-Bribery programs

To address bribery risks effectively, raising awareness and fostering a culture of integrity across the organization is essential, not just through policies, but through ongoing education and engagement. A well-informed workforce is a company’s first line of defense against bribery and corruption.

According to the Thomson Reuters Risk & Compliance Survey Report 2023, organizations continue to face three major challenges in managing compliance risks. Two of the most significant are the lack of knowledgeable personnel and limited resources. These gaps not only hinder the implementation of Anti-Bribery Management Systems (ABMS) such as ISO 37001 but also affect the organization’s ability to respond swiftly to potential threats.

Without sufficient understanding and practical know-how among employees, even the most robust policies can fail to prevent misconduct. This highlights the need for scalable, accessible training solutions that can reach all levels of the organization, especially in environments with limited budgets or geographically dispersed teams.

A practical and scalable training solution

To overcome limitations in time, budget, and geographical reach, many organizations are turning to E-learning as a practical approach for ABMS training programs. E-learning offers a flexible and cost-effective way to equip employees at all levels with the essential knowledge to identify, prevent, and report bribery risks.

Integrity Indonesia has developed a comprehensive series of ABMS courses based on the ISO 37001:2016 standard, tailored to various levels of understanding, from introductory modules suitable for all employees to in-depth materials designed for implementers and internal auditors.

As an organization certified in ISO 37001, we not only offer structured learning but also share our firsthand experience in achieving certification. This includes practical insights into overcoming implementation challenges and fostering a culture of integrity across the organization.

Why companies should partner with Integrity Academy

With over two decades of proven experience in managing risks, uncovering misconduct, and promoting ethical business practices, we launched Integrity Academy to strengthen internal capabilities through structured learning. Initially developed to support internal training, such as New Employee Orientation, the service has now expanded to offer E-learning content for clients

Well-designed training programs such as the Anti-Bribery Management System course, offer several key features to deliver a more engaging and effective learning experience:

• Interactive multimedia modules featuring real-world case studies, interactive quizzes, and gamified elements to reinforce understanding.
• Flexible, self-paced learning accessible anytime and anywhere.
• A user-friendly E-learning platform, equipped with analytics to track learner progress.
• Automated certificates of completion.

Our service supports both off-the-shelf content for companies with their own E-learning platforms, as well as access through our platform, which can be custom-branded to reflect your company identity.

By investing in a trusted learning solution that helps organizations strengthen compliance, reduce risk, and embed a culture of integrity at every level.

• Over 25,000 Latin American smallholder coffee producers across eight countries, including Colombia, Brazil, and Honduras are now digitally validated by Koltiva’s KoltiTrace platform, enabling them to build more resilient, traceable supply chain, and facilitate global sustainability standards adherence.
• More than 80% of coffee is grown by smallholders on less than five hectares, often using traditional shade-grown methods that preserve biodiversity and improve soil retention (FAO, 2023). Koltiva supports these practices through digital tools like FarmXtension, FarmGate, and KoltiSkills—bringing and combining data driven decision making, agronomic training, environmental assessments, and real-time data to the field.
• By combining traceability, producer empowerment, and regenerative agriculture, Koltiva is equipping Latin American coffee producers to navigate climate risks and thrive in high-demand, sustainability-conscious markets. The result is a transparent, inclusive coffee ecosystem from bean to cup.

Bogota, 16 April 2025 — Climate change is placing unprecedented pressure on coffee-growing regions around the world. In Latin America, erratic weather, prolonged droughts, and shifting ecological patterns threaten crop yields and producer livelihoods. In response, KOLTIVA, a Swiss-Indonesian AgriTech company, is accelerating the digital transformation of coffee supply chains through its traceability platform, KoltiTrace.

To date, over 25,274 coffee producers across eight Latin American countries, including Costa Rica, Mexico, Brazil, Honduras, Nicaragua, Peru, Guatemala, and Colombia, have been digitally validated using KoltiTrace. These efforts are a part of the initiatives to build scalable, transparent, and inclusive sustainability solutions that are deeply rooted in the realities of farming communities. This will enable the producers and businesses to secure a long-term supply of high-quality coffee, enhancing producers’ livelihoods and community well-being, and safeguarding the environment. 

“Sustainability begins with visibility,” said Silvan Ziegler, Senior Head of Markets America at KOLTIVA. “KoltiTrace is more than a digital tool—it’s a data-driven transformation that empowers producers, agronomists, and companies to make informed, impactful decisions.”

Digital Tools Empowering Producers and Agronomists

Advanced technology, such as one incorporated in KoltiTrace, enables end-to-end supply chain traceability through real-time data collection, geospatial farm mapping, validation of sustainability indicators, and automated compliance tracking. With embedded tools like FarmXtension, FarmGate, and FarmCloud, KOLTIVA equips agronomists and producers with the digital resources they need to monitor farm practices, assess environmental and social impacts, and access personalized insights.

Through integrated digital and field-based services, it could assist producers on:

• Data collection and validation on producer practices, environmental performance, and social criteria.
• Verification of regenerative farming practices
• Compliance with sustainability and certification standards
• Gender equality and inclusive participation
• Accurate and timely monitoring of productivity and risks

These efforts are essential to building resilient, ethical coffee supply chains that can withstand climate and regulatory disruptions. It will be crucial to the coffee sector where more than 80% of the crop is produced by smallholder producers cultivating less than five hectares of land—often in steep, mountainous areas where traditional shade-grown methods prevail (FAO, 2023).

KOLTIVA supports these agroecological transitions by equipping producers with digital tools to map their farms, record on-farm practices, and assess environmental impact in real-time. By bridging traditional knowledge with precision agriculture, KOLTIVA is helping transform sustainability from aspiration to measurable progress across Latin America.

Supporting Local Farming Communities

By digitizing and validating thousands of smallholder coffee producers, KOLTIVA provides visibility into the often-informal agricultural landscape. This visibility opens up opportunities for producers to participate in sustainable markets, access agronomic support, and improve their income potential.

“We are learning how to use digital tools to make decisions based on data. That makes a big difference in how we manage the farm,” said one of the participating coffee producers in Colombia. “The support we receive through the program helps us grow better coffee and take care of our land.”

KOLTIVA complements its traceability platform with KoltiSkills, offering technical assistance and training in regenerative agriculture, polygon mapping for deforestation risk assessments, and hands-on support to farmers navigating sustainability standards.

“By carefully adapting our technology solutions to the specific needs of the producers, we’re not only ensuring traceability and compliance but also enhancing productivity through data-driven insights. Our goal is to equip producers with the tools to optimize their practices and achieve long-term sustainability in every aspect of their operations”, Angie Quintero added, Project Manager KOLTIVA working on several projects in Latin America. 

Shaping a Transparent and Equitable Future for Coffee

By embedding traceability at the core of supply chain systems, KOLTIVA enables companies to deliver on their environmental and social goals while empowering farmers at origin.

“This milestone underscores our belief that visibility and collaboration are the cornerstones of meaningful sustainability,” said Ziegler. “Through KoltiTrace, we’re not just tracking coffee—we’re building stronger connections between producers, buyers, and consumers.”

As coffee producers face intensifying climate risks, KOLTIVA’s traceability solutions stand as a powerful ally—strengthening the sector’s capacity to adapt, thrive, and grow responsibly.

Gothenburg, 27 March 2025: While others race to the moon and back, the Faroe Islands space program takes a bold new step in space exploration—without ever leaving Earth. One of the largest bearing manufacturers SKF, and ocean energy developer Minesto are launching a space program to harness the Moon’s energy by leveraging the power of the tides. This space program aims to utilize the resources we already have right here on Earth.

“Imagine a future powered by the tides of the Moon. This unique project dares to dream big and is exploring the potential of renewable tidal energy. At SKF we are proud to be a part of this down-to-earth project that aligns with our values and our ambition to create a more sustainable world,” says Annika Ölme, CTO & SVP, Technology Development, SKF.

Over the past year, SKF and Minesto have been pioneering tidal energy using tidal kites in the Atlantic Sea outside the Faroe Islands. The mission is to harness the Moon’s power for predictable and renewable energy. After its successful launch into the ocean, the tidal kite called LUNA is flying underwater, invisibly and silently harvesting energy from the Moon – no matter the weather. Today, only a few of the countries with favorable tidal current conditions are beginning to utilize the full potential of moon generated energy – the most predictable renewable energy source on the globe.

“For us, as a tech development company to work with a global industrial company such as SKF is both a learning experience and an inspiration,” says Martin Edlund, CEO of Minesto. “We estimate there are at least 3000 more “Faroe Islands” out there qualifying for our space program – if they all join, moon energy could replace all coal power capacity currently under development globally.”

The established tidal energy facility – a moon energy base – will kick off the Faroe Islands Space Program, firmly grounded on Earth. The kite Luna has a rated power of 1.2 MW, enough to power 200 villas with electricity for one year. The next goal is to implement a new 200 MW tidal energy facility. This could meet 40% of the expected electricity needs in 2030, providing green electricity to the small, remote island nation’s 50,000 people and 70,000 sheep. Unlocking the power of the tides is a joint work together with power company Sev:

“Our vision is to reach 100% renewable electricity generation by 2030 and we believe that tidal power may prove to become a vital part of this journey,” says Hákun Djurhuus, CEO of the Faroese electricity company Sev.

SKF was brought on board to design the bearing and sealing systems for the rudders and elevators of the kites. The SKF software system calculates, for example, bearing rating life and estimates CO2 emissions, which makes it possible to compare different solutions not only from a technical perspective but also from a sustainability point of view.

“Collaboration across industries is essential for progress. Together with Minesto, we are demonstrating how technology and innovation can drive the transition to renewable energy,” says Annika Ölme, CTO & SVP, Technology Development, SKF.

By framing it as a space program (that never leaves earth), the partners aim to emphasize the importance of exploring how we can harness the Moon’s energy to generate renewable energy through tidal forces—amidst a new space race where many are discussing the potential of extracting resources from space and other planets.

Short facts tidal and ocean energy:

• According to the International Energy Agency, 80 % of global electricity currently comes from fossil fuels.
• By 2050, ocean energy could potentially provide a substantial portion of the energy mix. Ocean energy is local, renewable and tides are predictable, which makes it the perfect partner to more established renewables like wind and solar.
• Ocean energy Europe estimates that ocean energy can provide 10% of Europe’s electricity and create 400.000 skilled jobs by 2050.

Together they demonstrate how the less is more beauty concept is perfectly executed with the highest degree of simplicity thanks to breakthrough innovation and years of formulation expertise.

Under the latest minimalist beauty trend, more and more consumers have their eyes set on fewer high-quality products that can help them achieve the desired results on their skins through simplified skincare routines while maintaining maximized efficacy. With this less-is-more concept of beauty quickly gaining momentum, innovative ingredients that focus on enhanced performance and consistency with maximum effectiveness will undoubtedly be able to generate more demand from the market.

One of the featured products from Clariant, the versatile Hostacerin CCT™, taps right into this emerging minimalist trend. This easy-to-use emulsifier has a wide application area with cold mixing, enabling the creation of stable low viscosity skincare and wet wipes. Skin moisturization could be lifted significantly with as little as 10% of Hostacerin CCT™.

Another featured product from Clariant is the Eclipsogen™ CAP series, it’s the first encapsulated UV filters blends produced with Clariant’s Nanocon™ technology in Tangerang site. Even at low concentrations in formulations, Eclipsogen™ CAP helps achieve a high SPF value in sun care products.

Being cold processable, allowing the ease of formulation and readily compatible with sunscreen ingredients to enable light skin sensory with no white cast.

“Our highlighted ingredients, proudly manufactured in Tangerang, are designed to meet the everyday skincare needs with the complexity element taken out of the beauty equation – meaning that personal care products are there to perform with simplicity but without a compromise on performance” says Vipul Bhatt, Head of Personal & Home Care Asia Pacific.
