• The awareness of business players in support environmental sustainability and positive impact on social activities while carrying out their operational activities has increased globally in the past two decades. Business activities are not only focus on how to achieve large profits, but also pay more attention to aspects of environmental damage. One of the causes of environmental damage mainly because of the improper usage of resources and the ignorance of applicable rules or norms. It has impacted on social conflict since the parameter of company’s performance only based on the high profit.
• Previously, the investors saw that the benefits of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) were less important and require high cost. However, a new perspective has emerged recently that the company must consider the ESG factor in measuring the financial performance. Most of the empirical evidence proves that "good" issuers will have a high ESG value. It means that ESG is directly proportional to the level of return on investment and the company's profitability ratio. In addition, environmental performance assessment of a company will have a significant positive effect on company value (Eccles et al., 2012). Therefore, companies labelled ESG/SRI (Sustainable and Responsible Investment) is able to obtain a higher rate of return on investment (RoE) and continues to grow sustainably (Hassel, 2013).
