He underscored the pivotal role private enterprises play in advancing sustainable development through proactive environmental care, ethical governance, and social accountability, noting that the new rankings offer a practical framework for companies to evaluate and elevate their impact.
The initiative received strong support from Dr. R. Joko Siswanto, S.E., M.Sc., S.H., M.H., Director of Sustainable Finance at Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK). In his key presentation, he highlighted the urgency of strengthening Indonesia’s sustainable finance ecosystem, noting that ESG principles have become foundational to corporate governance and long-term value creation.
Adding an academic perspective, Prof. Dr. Sylvia Veronica Nalurita Purnama Siregar, S.E., M.Si., Ak., CA., CSRS., CSRA., Secretary of the Board of Professors at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Indonesia (FEB UI), addressed how robust ESG governance enhances accountability, sharpens decision-making, and meets growing public demand for corporate transparency.
The session culminated in a detailed walkthrough of the ranking methodology by Rahmi, S.Hum., M.Sc., Ph.D., Manager of Operations, Data, and Service Development at UI GreenMetric. Designed as a comprehensive benchmarking tool, the methodology relies on measurable indicators that enable companies to pinpoint operational gaps, increase transparency, and build a culture of continuous improvement.
An engaging interactive discussion followed, with participants exchanging views on Indonesia’s evolving ESG landscape, sustainable finance policy developments, and the practical implementation of the new metrics.
Through the UI GreenMetric Sustainable Corporate Rankings, UI GreenMetric reinforces its commitment to advancing sustainability assessment while bridging academia, industry, and government. The framework aims to empower businesses to boost their global competitiveness, drive meaningful ESG progress, and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
