Governance Briefing — April 30, 2025
Indonesian listed banks and issuers submit 2024 sustainability reports to OJK alongside annual reports by the April filing deadline, cementing board oversight expectations under POJK 51/2017.
Executive briefing: Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK) requires listed issuers, public companies, and financial institutions to file sustainability reports together with annual reports no later than four months after financial year-end under Regulation 51/POJK.03/2017. For 31 December 2024 year-ends, the 30 April 2025 deadline demands board-approved governance narratives, strategy updates, and metrics.
Key governance signals
- Board sign-off mandated. Article 8 requires the board of directors and board of commissioners to approve sustainability reports and ensure accuracy.
- Stakeholder engagement disclosures scrutinised. Issuers must outline engagement processes and board responses to material economic, social, and environmental topics.
- Gradual assurance adoption encouraged. OJK guidance promotes external verification of key indicators, particularly greenhouse gas emissions and community investment metrics.
Action checklist
- Schedule joint board and commissioner reviews of sustainability report drafts before the April filing window closes.
- Validate data collection controls for high-priority metrics, documenting remediation steps for any 2024 audit findings.
- Disclose progress on sustainable finance roadmaps, including taxonomy alignment and responsible financing policies overseen by the board.
