How Mowilex cut REC costs by 53% while staying carbon neutral
Mowilex Indonesia, a subsidiary of Asia Coatings Enterprises, Pte. Ltd., is a leading producer of premium paints and coatings. Since launching the first Indonesian-made, water-based paints in 1970, the company has expanded its commitment to environmental ethics, equality, community, and innovation. Mowilex is Indonesia’s only certified carbon-neutral manufacturer, producing zero- and low-VOC paints in modern colors.
The challenge
Mowilex, an industry leader committed to climate action, was already well into its sustainability journey. Carbon neutral for five years, the team had established systems for reducing waste, emissions, and energy consumption.
The next step: sourcing credible Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) from within Indonesia. They needed a reliable partner who could secure RECs at a competitive price—while ensuring the investments truly supported local projects.
The solution
Mowilex needed more than just a supplier for their RECs—they needed true experts to help them eliminate greenwashing risks. After seeing ACT’s gold-level accreditation and strong CDP rating, they knew they'd found the right partner.
Together, we aligned with Mowilex’s sustainability goals and built a tailor-made procurement strategy. Our in-market team secured the volume of RECs they needed and provided expert guidance and support throughout the process.
The Results
With ACT’s support, Mowilex secured its sixth consecutive CarbonNeutral® certification—this time at a 53.42% cost reduction per unit compared to 2023.
The savings strengthened the company’s bottom line and enabled further investment in ESG initiatives. Committed to Indonesia’s Net Zero 2060 goal, Mowilex continues working toward 100% renewable energy in the coming years.
“Achieving our sixth CarbonNeutral® certification is a strategic priority and ACT has become a key partner in making it possible. Their expertise in sourcing local, high-quality RECs while maintaining cost efficiency demonstrates a strong commitment to environmental responsibility and business value.” - Gabriella Natashya, Corporate ESG Specialist, Mowilex
