This research uses a quantitative research design to collect numerical data to test the hypothesis. In this research, 54 companies listed on the IDX that had published sustainability reports for 5 consecutive years were used. In addition, the study collected secondary data from the selected companies' annual, financial, and sustainability news from 2017 to 2021.
