The Effect of ESG Disclosure on Firm Value With Independent Commissioners as A Moderating Variable

Ayu, Regina Diah Retno, Suganda, Tarsisius Renald, Sohdi, Lalu Rahmat, Cahyadi, Rino Tam
Abstract: The increasing demand for corporate transparency in sustainability practices, the development of ESG reporting regulations in Indonesia, and the persistent issues of credibility in disclosures such as greenwashing and inconsistent… consistent information quality indicate that Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosures are not always perceived positively by the market. This condition is important because ESG disclosures that are not supported by substantive implementation may be viewed as an additional cost, risk, or merely a form of compliance, which in turn may reduce firm value. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effect of environmental disclosure, social disclosure, and governance disclosure on firm value by incorporating independent commissioners as a moderating variable. Firm value is measured using Tobin’s Q because it reflects market valuation of the company’s performance and growth prospects. The sample consists of companies included in the SRI-KEHATI index during the 2020–2024 period, with a total of 227 unbalanced panel observations analyzed using panel data regression. The results show that environmental disclosure, social disclosure, and governance disclosure have a negative and significant effect on firm value. Independent commissioners are able to weaken the negative effect of environmental disclosure and governance disclosure on firm value, but they are unable to moderate the relationship between social disclosure and firm value. These findings suggest that ESG disclosure in sustainability-oriented companies is not yet fully perceived as a value-creating factor when it is not supported by convincing implementation quality. Practically, these findings are intended to encourage companies not only to increase the extent of ESG disclosure, but also to strengthen the substantive implementation and supervisory role of independent commissioners to enhance the credibility of sustainability information

The implications of this research emphasize the need for a holistic and structured approach in integrating AI into educational systems, considering technological, pedagogical, and socio-cultural aspects in a balanced manner to achieve sustainable and positively impactful educational transformation.

CRITICISM OF INTERFAITH MARRIAGE IN RELIGIOUS MODERATION

Syafi'i, M. Imam, Ariyadi, Samsul, Huda, Ade Naelul
Abstract: This article examines criticism of the practice of interfaith marriage in the framework of religious moderation in Indonesia over the past fifteen years. Through a qualitative approach with a structured literature study,… this study evaluates the dynamics of interfaith marriage criticism and its impact on religious moderation practices in society. Data was collected from journals and books published between 2018 and 2023 that discussed the theory of religious moderation and the dynamics of interfaith marriage. The results of the analysis show that criticism of interfaith marriage, while potentially hindering tolerance, also triggers negotiations of religious identity and renewal of the value of moderation. These findings reveal a new understanding that criticism, when articulated in a balanced and objective manner, can encourage the enhancement of intercommunal dialogue and the affirmation of the values of religious moderation. The implications of this research are important in the development of inclusive public policy and religious practices, and are expected to serve as a basis for further research and decision-making in the fields of religious moderation and socio-religious studies.
