Jakarta (ANTARA) – BPJS Ketenagakerjaan has once again achieved the Gold Award at the 2026 Australasian Reporting Awards (ARA) in the General Award category. The award was presented in recognition of the quality of its 2024 Annual Integrated Report, which was deemed to meet international reporting standards regarding transparency, accountability, governance, and sustainability.
The award announcement took place during the ARA 2026 ceremonies in Sydney, Australia, on 18 June 2026. The award was officially received in Jakarta by the Director of Finance and Risk Management of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, Bambang Joko Sutarto.
This achievement marks the second consecutive year that BPJS Ketenagakerjaan has successfully defended the Gold Award, the highest honour within the General Award category.
Bambang Joko Sutarto stated that the award serves as international recognition of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan’s consistency in implementing transparency, accountability, and good governance.
He noted that the integrated report prepared by BPJS Ketenagakerjaan adheres to various national and international standards, including OJK Regulation Number 51/POJK.03/2017 regarding the Implementation of Sustainable Finance, GRI Standards, and support for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The report, titled ‘Innovating With Integrity, Fostering Loyalty’, contains information regarding financial and operational performance, governance, risk management, service innovation, and the institution’s contribution to sustainable development.
BPJS Ketenagakerjaan was also the only Indonesian state institution to participate and win an award at the ARA 2026. This achievement demonstrates that the institution’s reporting quality is capable of competing with various organisations from the Australia, New Zealand, and Asia Pacific regions.
The Australasian Reporting Awards is one of the prestigious annual reporting awards in the Asia Pacific region, having been held for over 70 years. Assessments are conducted independently, considering aspects of information disclosure, quality of governance, integration of organisational strategy, risk management, sustainability performance, and value creation for stakeholders.
BPJS Ketenagakerjaan stated that it will continue to improve the quality of reporting and public information disclosure through the strengthening of governance, transparency, and accountability. This step is also in line with BPJS Ketenagakerjaan’s ‘3C’ strategy, specifically regarding the ‘Credibility’ aspect, to build public trust in the protection of Indonesian workers.
