Pegadaian Wins Special Award at IDX Channel Anugerah ESG 2026
Jakarta (ANTARA) – Pegadaian received an award at the IDX Channel ESG Awards 2026 in the category of Inclusive Financial Innovation for Sustainable Growth, in recognition of its commitment to integrating sustainability principles into its corporate business strategy.
The award was received in person by Jainuddin, Head of the ESG Division at PT Pegadaian (Persero), at the Main Hall of the Indonesia Stock Exchange on Wednesday (29/7). The IDX Channel ESG Awards 2026 carried the overarching theme “Beyond Compliance: Leveraging ESG to Create Long-Term Corporate Value”.
Highlighting ESG trends for 2026 amid global economic dynamics, the award scheme was designed specifically to appreciate Indonesian companies and senior executives who are highly dedicated to running sustainable business initiatives with tangible impacts on business, society, and environmental preservation.
Pegadaian’s success in winning this special category trophy was underpinned by the company’s innovation in designing inclusive financial programmes. Pegadaian was judged capable of going beyond mere regulatory compliance by making its ESG programmes the primary driver in creating long-term corporate value.
Through a range of gold-based services and micro-financing easily accessible to all segments of society, Pegadaian has demonstrably opened up access to capital for unbanked and underbanked communities, whilst also driving the green economic transition in the micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) sector.
“This award is a form of appreciation for the hard work of all Pegadaian employees who consistently apply ESG principles across every operational line, and it stands as proof of Pegadaian’s consistency in delivering financial solutions that are environmentally friendly, socially equitable, and supported by clean corporate governance,” said Jainuddin.
The award, organised by the IDX, is not merely a celebration of success but a catalyst to encourage all industry players in Indonesia to commit fully to sustainability principles amid global economic challenges.
The assessment for the IDX Channel ESG Awards 2026 was conducted in a measurable and comprehensive manner, covering four main aspects: Environment, Social, Governance, and Innovation in Sustainable Finance. The evaluation process involved stringent weighted criteria, including ESG Performance — the on-the-ground implementation and impact of ESG — as well as Strategic & Policy regarding sustainability-based corporate policies, the active involvement of all stakeholders in ESG programmes, transparency and accountability in the Sustainability Report, and strong commitment from company leadership.
“Inclusive finance and sustainability are two mutually reinforcing pillars. Pegadaian is committed to continuing to pioneer leading financial innovations that are not only profitable from a business standpoint but also deliver positive and sustainable socio-environmental impacts for Indonesia,” added Jainuddin.
Through this accolade from the IDX Channel ESG Awards 2026, Pegadaian has reaffirmed its position as a leading financial services institution ready to meet the challenges of global economic dynamics through the application of sustainability principles that are robust, transparent, and far-reaching for the national economy.
