33 Criteria
The calculation of the ESG disclosure score is carried out through sustainability reporting analysis to determine the level of ESG transparency using the relevant ESG factors. "BGKF has identified 33 main ESG factors based on regulatory studies, international agreements, and reporting standards," said Deni Daruri, founder of BGKF.
Among other, it includes the criteria for leading ESG factors from The Nasdaq Helsinki Capital Market, the framework and provisions of TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) and CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project). These factors are considered to greatly affect the company's sustainability reporting and the way to maintain sustainable business operations.
The criteria for “Environment” include greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, GHG intensity, energy consumption, energy intensity level, mix of energy types, water consumption, PPP (regulations, procedures, and processes) regarding the environment, supervision of the environmental board of directors, senior environmental management supervision, management and investment analysis on climate and environment, corporate responsibility in forestry.
The “Social” component includes CEO salary comparisons, cross-gender salary comparisons, employee turnover percentages, gender diversity percentages, percentage of temporary workers, non-discrimination regulations, procedures, and processes, injury or accident rates, occupational health and safety levels, child labor, human rights regulations, procedures, and processes, CSR in the community.
In "Governance" includes diversity of board members, independence of the board from the control of other parties, monetary incentives related to sustainability, protocols and collective bargaining agreements, third party codes of ethics, ethics & compliance with anti-corruption laws, privacy and protection of personal data, sustainability reports, disclosure mechanism, guarantee of independence, and tax transparency.
This year, said Deni, BGKF conducted an assessment and gave appreciation to all companies listed in the nominations for the ESG Disclosure Awards. The aim is to appreciate all companies that have disclosed ESG aspects. BGKF notes that from the 120 SR (sustainability reports) in 2020 that are available in public, there are 7% still integrated with the AR (Annual Report). The rest (93%) already separate their SR from the AR.
