REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Amid growing global awareness of the importance of sustainability in addressing climate change, Republika is also encouraging the implementation of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles among business people. Through the ESG Anugerah event, Republika gives appreciation to companies that successfully implement sustainable and responsible business practices in Indonesia.

Anugerah ESG Republika event will be held at The Westin Hotel, Jakarta, Thursday (9/19/2024). The organization of the ESG Republika Award is the culmination of the campaign “Sehati untuk Bumi.” The campaign aims to raise public awareness that safeguarding the earth and applying ESG principles is urgent.

ESG, which covers three key aspects, environmental, social, and corporate governance, has become the global standard for conducting business responsibly. With the organization of the ESG Anugerah, Republika wants to spur more companies to incorporate ESG principles into their business strategies.

Director of Republika Nur Hasan Murtiaji explained that Anugerah ESG Republika not only aims to recognize the success of companies that have implemented ESG principles, but also to encourage more innovation and sustainable efforts in the future.

“We want to motivate companies to see ESG as an integral part of their business, not just a liability,” Hasan said Wednesday (September 18, 2024).

The award also has a broader goal, namely to promote inclusive and environmentally friendly economic growth in Indonesia. By rewarding companies that have demonstrated a commitment to sustainability, Republika hopes to build momentum to get more companies involved in efforts to maintain environmental sustainability and strengthen social responsibility.

In its implementation, Anugerah ESG Republika assessed several important aspects, such as the company's efforts to reduce environmental impact, make positive contributions to society, and conduct good and transparent corporate governance. Hasan stressed that the assessment is done very comprehensively to ensure that the companies awarded the award actually contribute to the consistent application of ESG.

“Our assessment process is thorough. We want to make sure that those companies that we recognize have been demonstrably committed to ESG practices,” Hasan added.

Hasan insists that ESG is not just a mere business concept, but is also part of a greater environmental and social responsibility.

“We all have the same responsibility to take care of this earth. Through this campaign, we want to instill awareness that ESG is an important component in running a business well,” Hasan said.

“This is not just an award, but also an invitation for more companies to play an active role in safeguarding the environment and improving social welfare.“

Through the organization of the ESG Anugerah, Hasan hopes that there are more companies in Indonesia that make ESG an integral part of their business strategy. According to him, the application of ESG is not only beneficial for the environment and society, but also supports long-term economic sustainability.

“Sustainability is not only the responsibility of large companies, but of all sectors. We want to educate that ESG is a long-term investment that will benefit all parties,” Hasan said.

Republika is also committed to continuing the “Sehati for the Earth” campaign. Hasan said that this campaign will not stop after the Anugerah ESG event, but will continue with a series of other activities aimed at continuing to raise public awareness about the importance of sustainability.

“This campaign will continue. This is our effort to motivate more companies and individuals to continue contributing to the preservation of the environment. We hope the 'Sehat for Earth' message can continue to inspire,” he added.

Republika is optimistic that this ESG Award will be an important step in shaping the future of business in Indonesia. With more and more companies involved, ESG is expected to become a widely accepted standard, creating a positive impact not only for the environment, but also for society and the national economy.

“Through this award, we want to create real change. ESG is the future of business, and we are proud to be a part of this movement,” said Hasan.
