KESGI Dashboard Launched to Strengthen ESG Ecosystem in the Capital Market
Katadata, through Katadata Green, has launched KESGI (Katadata ESG Insight) Dashboard, an analytics platform designed to collect and process Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) data for companies listed on the stock exchange. The launch took place at the ESG Forum for Accelerating Decarbonisation & Green Business, held at the Indonesia Stock Exchange and attended by more than 100 participants from regulators, corporations, to investors.
The KESGI platform integrates analysis based on expert panels with artificial intelligence (AI) technology to provide more comprehensive and structured ESG assessments for companies in Indonesia.
Katadata’s Co-founder and CEO, Metta Dharmasaputra, stated that the development of this platform is based on the belief that the green economy can drive Indonesia’s economic growth up to 8%.
“Without this sector as a new growth engine, achieving that target will be difficult,” he said.
He also highlighted the main challenges in implementing ESG in Indonesia, such as limited quantitative data, lack of human resources, and high data collection costs.
Meanwhile, Katadata’s Co-founder and Chief Content Officer, Heri Susanto, described KESGI as a solution to transform ESG data into a more concrete basis for decision-making.
“KESGI turns data into insights, from mere compliance to strategic decisions,” he said.
The platform uses a methodology that refers to global standards and is adapted to national regulations, with an assessment framework covering the three ESG pillars, 15 topics, and more than 100 indicators. In the future, Katadata also plans to develop the Katadata ESG-50 Leader Index, which will identify the 50 companies with the best ESG implementation on the Indonesian stock exchange.
Deputy Head of Katadata Green, Jeany Hartriani, added that ESG challenges in Indonesia are not only about standards but also organisational readiness to integrate sustainability principles into business operations.
“ESG must be part of leadership and strategy, not just reporting,” she said.
From the capital market perspective, the Acting Director of the Indonesia Stock Exchange, Jeffrey Hendrik, stated that ESG indices are increasingly becoming a reference for investors, especially with growing global interest in the renewable energy sector and energy transition.
Based on data from the Financial Services Authority as of February 2026, there are 72 equity-based mutual funds and ETFs with managed funds reaching Rp15.83 trillion. As part of strengthening the ecosystem, Katadata Green also signed a memorandum of understanding with several strategic partners such as East Ventures, Life Cycle Indonesia, and Jejakin, to expand the adoption of data-based sustainability practices across various sectors.
The launch of KESGI marks an important step in promoting transparency, standardisation, and integration of ESG data in Indonesia, while strengthening the role of ESG as a key factor in investment decision-making and future business strategies.
