On 19 November 2024, Senang Eco and Joshua Rayan Communications (JRC) co-hosted a timely webinar titled “Mastering Sustainability Disclosures: Navigating Financial Materiality and Investor Demands Amid New Regulatory Challenges.” As businesses face growing pressure to respond to the climate crisis with both urgency and accountability, this session brought together voices from across the sustainability landscape to help companies navigate the increasingly complex world of ESG reporting.

In Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, sustainability disclosure is no longer optional. Policies like POJK/51/2017 and SEOJK/16/2021 have made it clear that climate risks must be addressed transparently. At the global level, the introduction of IFRS S1 and S2 is reinforcing this momentum, bridging financial and non-financial reporting and emphasizing that sustainability is a material business issue. For companies, this means understanding not only what they do—but how they measure, communicate, and align their actions with long-term impact.

“You can’t change what you don’t measure,” said Andrian Dwi Kurniawan, CEO of Senang Eco, pointing to how transparency drives transformation. Jonathan Labrey from the IFRS Foundation echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that sustainability and financial disclosures are becoming inseparable, shaping the expectations of regulators and stakeholders alike.

This webinar wasn’t just about frameworks; it marked a deeper shift in mindset. It reminded us that credible, strategic sustainability reporting is essential not only for compliance but also for building resilient, forward-looking businesses.

Let’s continue the journey—one report, one decision, one impact at a time.
