The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) serve as a global framework for accountability, driving Indonesian organizations to align their business strategies with economic, social, and environmental responsibility. Through sustainability reporting, companies transparently disclose their impacts and strategic actions, allowing stakeholders to evaluate their commitment to sustainable practices. This reporting process has become a vital tool for demonstrating corporate accountability beyond traditional financial metrics.
To encourage this transparency, the National Center for Corporate Reporting (NCCR) has held the Sustainability Reporting Awards (SRA) annually since 2005. The awards recognize excellence in reporting compliance and transparency—rather than just performance—based on Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards. Participation has grown significantly from seven entries in 2005 to fifty-six in 2018, reflecting a rising trend among listed companies, private firms, and NGOs to prioritize stakeholder responsibility.

Name changed to Asia Sustainability Reporting Rating (ASRR):
Year 2018 is the first year of NCCR initiated the Asia Sustainability Reporting Rating (ASRR), which was previously called the Sustainability Reporting Awards (SRA). The difference between ASRR and previous years of SRA appears in the system that has been changed from Winner to Rating. Starting this year, all participants will be awarded but may be different from one another. The Award depends on the result of the SR assessed (rating: platinum, gold, silver or bronze). And because the participants are not only from Indonesia, but also from other countries in Asia, the brand name is “Asia Sustainability Reporting Rating”, in short as Asia SR Rating or ASRR. This is the first sustainability report rating system in Asia.
Since 2017, ASRR (formerly named as SRA) has been circulated between different regions in Indonesia through a conference named Sustainability Practitioner Conference (SPC) for better reaching out to regional contributions in supporting SDGs’s achievement. SPC is hosted by NCCR and the Institute of Certified Sustainability Practitioners (ICSP) since 2017. The 1st SPC was previously held in Malang, the 2nd SPC in Solo, and the 3rd SPC in Lampung.
