A few years ago, sustainability reports were often viewed merely as supplementary documents, typically produced only by large corporations or publicly listed companies. Today, however, the landscape has shifted. Amidst growing demands for sustainable business practices, sustainability reports have become a key indicator evaluated by investors, customers, financial institutions, regulators, and international business partners alike. Seeking a sustainability report consultant in Indonesia is no longer just about meeting reporting obligations. More importantly, companies require a partner capable of translating operational data into information that is transparent, measurable, and strategically valuable for business growth. At Actia, we assist companies in systematically preparing their sustainability reports—ranging from identifying material aspects, collecting ESG data, and formulating indicators aligned with relevant standards, to producing reports that are informative and easily understood by all stakeholders.

Why Are Sustainability Reports Increasingly Important Today?

Climate change, the transition to a low-carbon economy, and growing attention to social issues and corporate governance have transformed how investors and the market evaluate companies. Today, a company’s success is no longer measured solely by profit or business growth, but also by how it manages its environmental impact, addresses social aspects, and implements good corporate governance (Environmental, Social, and Governance/ESG).

In Indonesia and globally, this trend is getting stronger because it is driven by the following several factors.

1. Investors Are Paying Increasing Attention to ESG Performance

Many institutional investors now incorporate ESG indicators as a basis for their investment decision-making. They look beyond financial statements to consider how companies manage environmental risks, community relations, workforce well-being, and corporate governance. Sustainability reports serve as the primary medium for demonstrating a company’s commitment to and performance in these areas.

2. Global Buyers Begin Requesting Sustainability Information

Companies supplying products to international markets are increasingly receiving requests regarding:
  • greenhouse gas emission data
  • emission reduction targets
  • energy use
  • water consumption
  • waste management
  • human rights policies
  • labor practices
  • corporate sustainability programs
Without proper documentation, companies risk losing business opportunities or facing difficulties during vendor evaluation processes.

3. ESG Becomes a Consideration for Financial Institutions

Banks and financing institutions are beginning to integrate ESG aspects into their financing risk analysis processes. Companies with robust sustainability governance are considered better prepared to manage long-term risks compared to those lacking a clear sustainability strategy. A sustainability report serves as a supporting document that demonstrates a company’s commitment to managing such risks.

4. Raising the Net Zero Emission Target

Indonesia has set greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and is encouraging various sectors to contribute to achieving them. Consequently, an increasing number of companies are beginning to:
  • conduct greenhouse gas emission inventories
  • calculate corporate carbon footprints
  • develop decarbonization strategies
  • improve energy efficiency
  • utilize renewable energy
  • implement ESG programs
All these activities gain greater value when communicated through a sustainability report.

5. Transparency Becomes the New Standard in the Business World

The public, customers, the media, and shareholders now expect companies to be more open about the impact of their operations on the environment and society. Companies that communicate information transparently generally enjoy higher levels of trust compared to those that provide little information.

What Is a Sustainability Report?

A Sustainability Report is a document that outlines a company’s performance regarding environmental, social, and governance (ESG) aspects over a specific period. This report not only details the company’s achievements but also addresses the challenges, risks, strategies, targets, and commitments involved in building a sustainable business. Unlike the annual report, which focuses primarily on financial aspects, the Sustainability Report provides a comprehensive overview of how the company creates long-term value for all stakeholders.

Why Use a Sustainability Report Consultant?

Preparing a sustainability report involves more than just gathering data and designing the document. The process entails several critical stages, such as identifying material issues, mapping stakeholders, collecting data across divisions, analyzing ESG indicators, and crafting an accurate, accountable narrative. By engaging experienced consultants, companies can realize the following benefits:
  • a more efficient preparation process
  • more structured data
  • more relevant indicators
  • minimized reporting errors
  • accelerated cross-divisional coordination
  • greater report credibility among investors and stakeholders
  • a report that is not only informative but also reflects the company’s business strategy

When Should a Company Start Preparing a Sustainability Report?

Ideally, companies should begin preparing a sustainability report when they:
  • start implementing ESG programs
  • participate in PROPER assessments
  • need to ensure transparency for investors
  • receive requests for sustainability data from customers
  • prepare for international business expansion
  • comply with global supply chain requirements
