Research on the Overseas Development of New Energy Vehicles – ESG Three-Dimensional Analysis Based on Indonesia

Abstract

Driven by the global carbon neutrality goal and the concept of sustainable development, China’s new energy vehicle exports have grown rapidly, and Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia, has become a key strategic market. Based on the three-dimensional framework of ESG (environment, society, and governance), this paper systematically analyzes the regulatory compliance challenges and opportunities faced by Chinese new energy vehicle companies in the process of “going overseas” to Indonesia. Through literature research, case comparison, and field investigation, BYD and Toyota’s investment strategies in Indonesia are selected for in-depth comparison to reveal key influencing factors in localized production, market adaptation, and policy response. At the same time, from a legal perspective, Indonesia’s regulatory requirements in terms of labor employment, religious culture, social responsibility, and governance structure are sorted out in detail to provide compliance guidance for Chinese new energy vehicle companies. The study aims to provide policy recommendations for the overseas development of enterprises from a legal perspective, promote the internationalization of China’s new energy industry, and inject new impetus into China-Indonesia green cooperation.
