The Katadata Insight Center (KIC), through the Katadata Environmental, Social, and Governance Index (KESGI) 2025, conducted an independent assessment of the sustainability framework of 41 Indonesian food and beverage companies.
The median score reached 47.53 out of a scale of 0-100 points. The trend shows a slight decrease of 0.53 points (1.1%) in 2025 compared to 2024, which had a median score of 48.06 points.
Based on its constituent pillars, the environmental aspect had the highest median score at 57.5 points. Despite being the highest, the environmental aspect trend in the food and beverage sector has fluctuated over the past three years, even decreasing in 2025 from 63.65 in 2024.
KIC assessed that this achievement should be a concern for food and beverage companies. "The performance related to environmental issues in this sector has not been consistent or stable every year," wrote KIC in its report, quoted on Friday (12/9/2025).
KIC also noted that the governance and social aspects of this sector still need improvement. Specifically, governance scored 51.25 and social scored 39.02.
KESGI is an independent assessment to measure the sustainability performance of public companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI), as well as several state-owned enterprises that significantly contribute to the national economy.
The assessment is conducted on three main aspects: environmental, social, and governance. The basis for the KESGI 2025 assessment is the data availability from the 2024 Sustainability Report or 2024 Annual Report, publicly accessible through the company's official website as of June 2025.
The sustainability reports prepared by the companies refer to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and follow the regulations of POJK No. 51/2017 concerning the Implementation of Sustainable Finance and SEOJK No. 16/2021 concerning the Form and Content of Annual Reports of Issuers or Public Companies.
