Internship – Development of Corporate Environment Reporting Toolkit, Indonesia
Location: Remote
Are you looking to start your career in the environmental sector? Do you want to use your data analysis skills to help fighting climate change and support Indonesia’s target on net-zero emission by 2060?
CDP and GRI are seeking a research Intern with excellent desk review research and writing skills, and knowledge on corporate environmental reporting to contribute to our work in supporting companies to respond to the Financial Service Authority (OJK) Regulation 51/POJK.03/2017 on sustainability reporting. This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated self-starter who enjoys writing, conducting desk-review research on companies ESG, and passionate on working in a fast-paced international NGO.
About CDP and GRI Collaboration
The Financial Service Authority’s Regulation on sustainable finance (POJK 51/POJK.03/2017) requires financial institutions and public listed companies to publish their sustainability reports annually. These reports must disclose economic, social, and environmental impacts, along with the corporate strategies in addressing the negative impacts and increasing their contributions to the positive impacts. In addition to this regulation, the Ministry of Planning and Development (BAPPENAS), through its SDGs Secretariat, intends to utilize corporate sustainability reports to measure private sector contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and report them in Voluntary National Review (VNR) at the United National High Level Panel Forum (UN-HLPF) meeting annually.
Responding to this regulatory landscape, CDP and GRI have delivered a series of capacity building to increase the capacity of the companies to address POJK 51 using international reporting standards and frameworks, particularly CDP-aligned TCFD and the GRI Standards, and to align them with the relevant SDG targets and indicators. Through this capacity building, it is expected that companies would increasingly follow those international standards and continuously improve the quality of disclosure. Nevertheless, a lack of clear and practical guidelines on aligning all those frameworks/standards together remains the main challenge for Indonesian companies that are still in their nascent phase of reporting.
This collaboration aims to produce a practical toolkit that aligns POJK 51, CDP questionnaires, the GRI Standards, and SDGs. The toolkit will also provide step-by-step guidelines and examples for all the environmental aspects required by the POJK 51 and intend to increase the quality of their environmental disclosure in the following reporting periods.
