IDX Supports UI GreenMetric Sustainable Corporate Rankings 2026
Swan.my.id - Jakarta, Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) reaffirmed its commitment to accelerating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices in Indonesia’s capital market by supporting the launch of the UI GreenMetric Sustainable Corporate Rankings 2026 on Friday, August 14, 2026.
The launch was held at the IDX Main Hall in Jakarta as part of a collaboration between IDX and Universitas Indonesia (UI). The initiative introduces a data-based sustainability ranking system for industry participants and listed companies.
The collaboration places greater emphasis on credible data, transparent disclosures, and verifiable evidence. IDX expects the initiative to encourage companies to move beyond general sustainability claims and provide more accountable ESG information.
IDX Strengthens ESG Transparency in the Capital Market
IDX provided support for the launch of the UI GreenMetric Sustainable Corporate Rankings 2026 as part of its broader effort to improve the quality of ESG disclosures among listed companies.
ESG covers environmental, social, and governance considerations. These areas have become increasingly important in building a capital market that promotes transparency, responsible business practices, and long-term sustainability.
The quality of corporate disclosures is particularly important in this process. Sustainability statements can provide greater value when they are supported by consistent data and evidence that can be verified and traced.
Therefore, the new ranking system is expected to encourage listed companies to improve their approach to ESG reporting. A data-driven assessment can also provide a more structured way to evaluate sustainability-related information.
The initiative brings together the capital market and academic sectors. IDX and UI are working with stakeholders to introduce the sustainability ranking system to companies and industry participants.
UI GreenMetric Rankings Use a Data-Based Approach
The UI GreenMetric Sustainable Corporate Rankings 2026 is presented as a sustainability ranking system built around data. This approach is intended to strengthen the credibility of corporate sustainability assessments.
The launch also highlighted the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to read information contained in publicly available sustainability reports.
AI can support the process of identifying and analyzing information. Nevertheless, technology alone cannot guarantee the reliability of an assessment. The quality and consistency of the underlying data remain essential.
Traceable supporting evidence is also a key part of the verification process. As a result, sustainability information needs to be supported by evidence that can be followed and reviewed.
Several elements are central to strengthening ESG disclosures:
- Consistent sustainability data.
- Transparent corporate disclosures.
- Traceable supporting evidence.
- The use of AI to analyze publicly available sustainability reports.
- Higher standards for ESG information disclosure.
This approach combines technology with stronger data accountability. Consequently, companies are encouraged to pay greater attention to both the substance and credibility of their sustainability reporting.
IDX and UI Promote Stronger Sustainability Practices
The launch was attended by IDX Director of Trading and Exchange Member Regulation Irvan Susandy. UI representatives also attended, including Director of the Directorate of Management and Development of Business Units Ringoringo H Achmadi and Head of UI GreenMetric Dr. Vishnu Juwono.
The participation of IDX and UI reflects cooperation between the capital market and academic communities in promoting sustainability practices.
IDX plays a central role in Indonesia’s capital market ecosystem. Meanwhile, UI GreenMetric contributes an academic perspective to sustainability assessment and ranking.
Through this cooperation, the UI GreenMetric Sustainable Corporate Rankings 2026 is expected to provide a strategic reference for listed companies.
The ranking can encourage companies to examine the quality of the ESG information they publish. In addition, greater transparency can contribute to a healthier capital market environment.
Clear and traceable disclosures can help stakeholders better understand how companies approach environmental, social, and governance issues. For this reason, improving disclosure standards remains an important part of developing sustainable investment practices.
Rankings Expected to Guide Listed Companies
IDX hopes the UI GreenMetric Sustainable Corporate Rankings 2026 can serve as a strategic reference for listed companies seeking to improve their ESG disclosure standards.
The ranking is not simply about placing companies on a list. More importantly, a data-based assessment can encourage businesses to continuously improve the quality of their sustainability information.
ESG disclosure requires more than broad statements about sustainability. Companies also need consistent information and supporting evidence that can strengthen the credibility of their public reporting.
The role of AI adds another dimension to the process. Technology can help analyze information from public sustainability reports more systematically. However, the reliability of the assessment still depends on the quality of the data and the availability of traceable evidence.
As a result, technology and transparency need to work together. AI can assist with information analysis, while companies remain responsible for ensuring that their sustainability disclosures are supported by credible and traceable information.
Supporting a More Sustainable Investment Ecosystem
IDX's support for the UI GreenMetric Sustainable Corporate Rankings 2026 forms part of its continuing efforts to strengthen Indonesia’s capital market ecosystem.
ESG principles cover environmental, social, and governance issues that can influence how stakeholders view corporate sustainability. Transparent disclosure allows companies to communicate their sustainability practices more clearly.
High-quality ESG information can also contribute to a better understanding of corporate sustainability performance. Therefore, improving disclosure standards can play an important role in developing a more transparent investment environment.
IDX expects the initiative to contribute to a healthy, transparent, and environmentally conscious investment ecosystem. The broader goal is to support sustainable national economic growth.
The collaboration with UI represents one step toward that objective. Through a data-based sustainability ranking system, listed companies are encouraged to continuously improve their ESG disclosure practices.
What the 2026 Ranking Means for ESG Disclosure
The launch of the UI GreenMetric Sustainable Corporate Rankings 2026 highlights the growing importance of reliable ESG information in Indonesia’s capital market.
For listed companies, stronger disclosure practices can mean paying closer attention to the consistency of sustainability data and the evidence behind published claims.
The emphasis on verification also highlights the need for traceability. Information that can be connected to supporting evidence provides a stronger foundation for sustainability assessments.
Meanwhile, AI offers an additional tool for processing information from publicly available reports. Nevertheless, technology remains part of a broader verification framework rather than a replacement for reliable data.
The combination of credible data, transparent reporting, and technological support could help strengthen sustainability assessment practices. IDX and UI expect the ranking to encourage companies to raise their ESG disclosure standards over time.
Conclusion
IDX’s support for the UI GreenMetric Sustainable Corporate Rankings 2026 marks another step toward strengthening ESG transparency in Indonesia’s capital market.
The ranking system emphasizes credible and consistent data, transparent disclosures, and traceable supporting evidence. The launch also highlighted the potential use of AI to analyze information from publicly available sustainability reports.
However, reliable data remains the foundation of the verification process. Listed companies are therefore encouraged to improve the quality and transparency of their ESG disclosures.
Through cooperation between IDX and Universitas Indonesia, the initiative is expected to become a strategic reference for listed companies. It also supports the broader development of a healthy, transparent, and environmentally conscious investment ecosystem.
