BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Strengthens Transparency and Sustainability Commitment with Consecutive Gold Awards

BPJS Ketenagakerjaan has successfully retained the Gold Award in the General Award category at the Australasian Reporting Awards (ARA) 2026. The award was given for the quality of its 2024 Annual Integrated Report, which was deemed to meet the best international reporting standards in aspects of transparency, accountability, governance, and sustainability. The accolade, achieved for two consecutive years, was announced during the ARA 2026 event held in Sydney, Australia, on 18 June 2026. The award was officially received in Jakarta by BPJS Ketenagakerjaan’s Director of Finance and Risk Management, Bambang Joko Sutarto. “We are grateful and proud to retain the Gold Award at the Australasian Reporting Awards for the second year in a row,” said Bambang Joko. He added that this award represents international recognition of the institution’s consistency in delivering high-quality, transparent, and sustainability-oriented reporting. “This achievement is the result of the hard work of all BPJS Ketenagakerjaan personnel in building a culture of transparency, accountability, and good governance across all lines of the institution,” Bambang said. Bambang Joko stated that the award proves that the quality of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan’s reporting meets stakeholder expectations while gaining recognition from the international reporting community. “We accept this award as recognition of the institution’s commitment to maintaining quality governance and transparent reporting.” More importantly, he continued, this achievement demonstrates that BPJS Ketenagakerjaan’s reporting standards can compete and achieve prestige at the international level. According to Bambang, the success in retaining the award is inseparable from BPJS Ketenagakerjaan’s commitment to compiling reports that refer to various national and international standards and regulations, including the implementation of POJK Number 51/POJK.03/2017 on Sustainable Finance, GRI Standards, and support for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The integrated report compiled by BPJS Ketenagakerjaan not only presents information on financial and operational performance but also illustrates how the institution creates long-term value through good governance, effective risk management, service innovation, and contributions to sustainable development. Bambang said that the Integrated Report, titled ‘Innovating with Integrity Fostering Loyalty’, is not merely a reporting document but a medium of institutional accountability to all stakeholders. “Through this report, we strive to show how BPJS Ketenagakerjaan carries out the state’s mandate in protecting Indonesian workers in a transparent, measurable, and sustainable manner,” said Bambang. BPJS Ketenagakerjaan is the only state institution from Indonesia that participated and won an award at the ARA 2026 event. This achievement shows that the institution’s reporting quality not only meets national standards but is also able to compete with various leading organisations in the Australia, New Zealand, and Asia Pacific regions. The Australasian Reporting Awards is one of the most prestigious annual reporting awards in the Asia Pacific region, held for more than seven decades. Assessment is conducted independently by considering various aspects, from information disclosure, governance quality, organisational strategy integration, risk management, sustainability performance, to the organisation’s ability to create value for stakeholders. The success of retaining the Gold Award for two consecutive years serves as motivation for BPJS Ketenagakerjaan to continue improving the quality of reporting and information disclosure to the public. Going forward, the institution will continue to strengthen good governance practices, improve the quality of sustainability-based reporting, and ensure that all business processes are carried out transparently and accountably. Transparency and accountability are the main foundations in building public trust. “This award encourages us to continue improving the quality of institutional governance and reporting. This achievement is also in line with BPJS Ketenagakerjaan’s 3C strategy, particularly in the credibility aspect, which we build through information disclosure, accountable management, and a commitment to providing reliable protection for all Indonesian workers,” said Bambang.
