Is it strict with environmental protection to build a factory in Indonesia?

Legal analysis: Like other developing countries, Indonesia's legal system changes frequently, and the project contracting cycle is generally longer. During the project contracting period, enterprises in China face more risks of legal changes. For example, in the process of project construction, the Indonesian government introduced new policies to improve environmental protection requirements, resulting in the contractor's environmental protection measures no longer meeting Indonesia's environmental protection standards. In addition, the contractor must increase the environmental budget to meet the environmental requirements. This will not only increase the project cost, but also delay the construction period.

Legal basis: Article 42 of Chapter 4 of the Environmental Protection Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), enterprises, institutions and other producers and operators that discharge pollutants shall take measures to prevent and control the pollution and harm of waste gas, waste water, waste residue, medical waste, dust, malodorous gas, radioactive substances, noise, vibration, light radiation and electromagnetic radiation to the environment. Enterprises and institutions that discharge pollutants shall establish a responsibility system for environmental protection, and clarify the responsibilities of the person in charge of the unit and relevant personnel. Key pollutant discharge units shall install and use monitoring equipment in accordance with relevant state regulations and monitoring norms, ensure the normal operation of monitoring equipment, and keep original monitoring records. It is strictly prohibited to illegally discharge pollutants through concealed pipes, seepage wells, seepage pits, perfusion or tampering with or forging monitoring data, or through the abnormal operation of pollution prevention facilities to avoid supervision.
