ASEAN Federation of Accountants’ Post

Sustainability Disclosure in Indonesia: Insights from IAI’s Initiatives on ASEAN Federation of Accountants AFA Connect 14 Indonesia faces unique challenges in its sustainability journey, including disparities in corporate readiness and the need for a robust reporting ecosystem. However, these challenges also present opportunities to innovate and lead. IAI’s initiatives, including the SPK Roadmap, are designed to address these challenges head-on. The roadmap’s focus on ecosystem development—covering regulations, assurance, infrastructure, and capacity building—ensures that Indonesia is not only meeting global expectations but also preparing for long-term success. As the region continues to navigate its sustainability challenges, collaboration remains key. IAI invites members of the ASEAN Federation of Accountants (AFA) to join forces in advancing sustainability reporting across the region. Together, we can build a transparent, accountable, and sustainable future for ASEAN and beyond.

Sustainability isn’t just about setting goals; it's about achieving them with the right tools and resources. Singapore’s new Sustainability Reporting Grant (SRG) is a powerful initiative designed to help companies elevate their sustainability reporting. The SRG goes beyond funding, empowering businesses—especially SMEs—to meet increasingly rigorous ESG standards for compliance, stakeholder engagement, and long-term resilience. Regulations are essential, but they truly shine when governments provide the tools and support that companies need to stay aligned. I’m happy to see Singapore leading by example and supporting the journey towards sustainability with initiatives like this! #Sustainability #ESG #Singapore #SustainabilityReporting #GreenEconomy #BusinessGrowth #SGEDB
