The principle of sustainability has transformed from mere compliance into a key factor in strengthening national economic resilience and enhancing public trust.

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Indonesian Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) is encouraging the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles in state financial management as a strategic instrument to support the Indonesia Emas 2045 vision.

“The principle of sustainability has transformed from mere compliance into a key factor in strengthening national economic resilience and enhancing public trust,” he said in an official statement, Jakarta, Thursday.
