Cynthia Handriani Wijaya

At 19 years old, Cynthia graduated as valedictorian with a Bachelor’s degree in Prof. Accounting from Macquarie University, Sydney. She obtained her executive education in Circular Economy and Sustainability Strategies from Cambridge Business Judge School. She is passionate about circular economy, climate-tech and the zero-waste movement. She immediately joined her family business, Daya Selaras Group (DSG), which has been in the paper and corrugated carton industry for more than 30 years. DSG is a sustainable industrial hub linking the industrial loop from waste paper material to corrugated carton packaging through their network of partners and/or affiliates in the paper recycling, industrial paper, corrugated carton and logistics sectors, hence forming a circular value chain. Cynthia is now Chief Corporate Officer at DSG and is also leading the company’s ESG division. In Daya Selaras Group, she initiated various projects and partnerships with the informal waste sector, recycling start-ups, the Indonesian Packaging Recovery Organization and many more. On top of that, she founded Eco Selaras or ‘ECO-S’ with a vision for it to become a bridging platform to bridge ideas, people and businesses together. ECO-S is a coworking & office space that houses Indonesia’s first climate-tech hub, working together with stakeholders across the ASEAN climate-tech industry.
