BPJS Ketenagakerjaan has successfully maintained its Gold Award in the General Award category at the 2026 Australasian Reporting Awards (ARA). The award was presented in recognition of the quality of its 2024 Annual Integrated Report, which was judged to meet the best international reporting standards regarding transparency, accountability, governance, and sustainability.

This achievement, marking the second consecutive year receiving the honour, was announced during the 2026 Australasian Reporting Awards ceremony held 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.

“We are grateful and proud to have maintained the Gold Award at the Australasian Reporting Awards for the second consecutive year,” said Bambang Joko.

He continued that the award serves as 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,” added Bambang.

Bambang Joko stated that the award serves as evidence that the quality of BPJS Kertakerjaan’s reporting is capable of meeting stakeholder expectations while gaining recognition from the international reporting community. “We accept this award as a form of recognition for the institution’s commitment to maintaining the quality of governance and transparent reporting. More importantly, this achievement shows that BPJS Ketenagakerjaan’s reporting standards are capable of competing and achieving excellence on an international level.”

According to Bambang, the success in retaining the award is inseparable from BPJS Ketenagakerjaan’s commitment to preparing reports that adhere to various national and international standards and regulations, including the implementation of 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 integrated report prepared by BPJS Ketenagakerjaan does not only present information regarding 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 noted that the Integrated Report, titled “Innovating with Integrity, Fostering Loyalty,” is more than just a reporting document; it serves as a medium of accountability to all stakeholders. “Through this report, we strive to demonstrate how BPJS Ketenagakerjaan executes its state mandate to protect Indonesian workers in a transparent, measurable, and sustainable manner,” said Bambang.

BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, he added, was the only state institution from Indonesia to participate and successfully win an award at the 2026 ARA. This achievement demonstrates that the institution’s reporting quality not only meets national standards but is also capable of competing with leading organisations across Australia, New Zealand, and the Asia Pacific region.

The Australasian Reporting Awards is one of the most prestigious annual reporting awards in the Asia Pacific region, having been held for over seven decades. Assessments are conducted independently, considering various aspects ranging from information disclosure, quality of governance, integration of organisational strategy, risk management, and sustainability performance, to the organisation’s ability to create value for stakeholders.

Successfully retaining the Gold Award for two consecutive years serves as motivation for BPJS Ketenagakerjaan to continuously improve the quality of reporting and information disclosure to the public. Moving forward, the institution will continue to strengthen good governance practices, enhance the quality of sustainability-based reporting, and ensure all business processes are conducted transparently and accountably.

Transparency and accountability are the primary foundations for building public trust. “This award serves as an incentive for us to continue improving the quality of institutional governance and reporting. This achievement is also aligned with BPJS Ketenagakerjaan’s 3C strategy, particularly the aspect of credibility, which we build through information openness, accountable management, and a commitment to providing reliable protection for all Indonesian workers,” concluded Bambang.
