Surabaya, January 26, 2024 – Bank Saqu, a digital banking service from PT Bank Jasa Jakarta that focuses on serving people with a solopreneur spirit, collaborated with Indonesia Vegetarian Society & Vegan Society of Indonesia to present the Vegan Festival. The Vegan Festival is a national event that aims to promote a plant-based (vegan) healthy lifestyle and an environmentally friendly movement to reduce the effects of global warming and climate change. The festival serves as a catalyst for the vegan community, activists, academics, and international professionals to share their knowledge, experiences, and best practices in building a healthier and more sustainable world.
Leo Koesmanto, President Director of Bank Jasa Jakarta said, “Bank Saqu supports the Vegan Festival event as part of its efforts to support the environmental movement to reduce the effects of global warming. Targeting people with a solopreneur spirit that includes small business owners, freelancers, and permanent employees with additional work, Bank Saqu takes on the role of a facilitator and sustainable supporter in advancing healthy micro, small and medium businesses in the community.”
As the official banking service partner for this event, Bank Saqu will present various attractive programs such as QRIS Combo, where customers have the opportunity to get cashback of up to Rp 1,000,000 by transacting using Bank Saqu.
Furthermore, the trend of adopting a healthy lifestyle is increasing in Indonesian society after the pandemic, where most young people are willing to pay more for environmentally friendly products. In this context, the culinary industry, which currently contributes 30 percent of the total revenue of the tourism and creative economy sector, can be a strategic choice. Micro, small and medium business owners should take advantage of this trend to develop businesses that not only offer healthy food but also support environmental sustainability.
In response to this, Bank Saqu also contributes to encouraging solopreneurs to adopt the trend and align their business models with environmental concerns. By following trends such as healthy living and environmental awareness, Bank Saqu is ready to support solopreneurs to explore this innovative path. This shows that Bank Saqu is not only a financial institution, but also a comrade for solopreneurs in Indonesia.

Angela Herliani Tanoesoedibjo, Deputy Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, who was present to give a speech at the Vegan Festival and visited the Bank Saqu booth said, “We see the potential that this lifestyle can generate to significantly grow the economy, because people are starting to adopt a vegan lifestyle.

This Vegan Festival has already broken its own record and the enthusiasm is also extraordinary, so this kind of event must continue to be worked on because research has proven that it is good for health and the environment.”
