KPK Assists State-Owned Enterprises in Strengthening Corruption Prevention Systems

Efforts to build a clean corporate governance system are increasingly relying on transparent and accessible reporting systems. Amid demands to strengthen integrity in the corporate sector, complaint mechanisms are considered a vital instrument for preventing corrupt practices while reinforcing organisational accountability. This commitment was demonstrated by the state-owned plantation enterprise, PT Perkebunan Nusantara III, through its collaboration with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in handling complaints as part of efforts to prevent and eradicate criminal acts of corruption. The cooperation agreement, signed in Jakarta on Wednesday (10/6), represents a further step in strengthening transparent, accountable, and integrity-driven corporate governance within the PTPN Group. PTPN III (Persero) President Director, Denaldy Mulino Mauna, stated that the collaboration is part of the company’s ongoing efforts to reinforce the implementation of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) principles, while supporting the transformation agenda currently being undertaken. According to him, strengthening the supervisory system and integrity is becoming increasingly important as the downstreaming programme develops, involving various commodities and stakeholders. ‘Through this cooperation, we hope that the supervision and complaint management system will be further strengthened, thereby supporting anti-corruption eradication efforts while reinforcing corporate governance,’ said Denaldy. Under this cooperation, PTPN and the KPK will synergise across various aspects, ranging from regulatory reinforcement and complaint management to case handling, as well as the integration and utilisation of data to support corruption prevention. KPK Deputy for Information and Data, Eko Marjono, emphasised that corruption eradication cannot be undertaken by a single party alone, but requires collaboration from all stakeholders to build a strong culture of integrity. He noted that an effective reporting system plays a strategic role in detecting potential irregularities early, allowing various risks to be addressed before they escalate into larger violations. ‘We continue to encourage ministries, agencies, regional governments, and state-owned enterprises to strengthen reporting mechanisms as part of the effort to build accountable and transparent governance,’ said Eko. As part of the implementation of this cooperation, the PTPN Group also launched an Integrated Whistleblowing System (WBS) that can be utilised by employees and stakeholders to report suspected violations safely and responsibly. The presence of this reporting channel is expected to strengthen the reporting culture, enhance organisational transparency, and support a more effective internal control system. This collaboration continues the synergy that has been established between the KPK and PTPN since 2020. Through the strengthening of the reporting and supervisory system, PTPN reaffirms its commitment to continuously driving corporate transformation based on integrity, accountability, and sustainable governance.
