Risk and Sustainability of Banking Sector Companies in Indonesia

Purpose: This study aims to explore and empirically test how the impact of risks on the Company's sustainability on the banking sector in Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach: This research uses panel data from the Indonesian banking sector, whether listed on the Indonesia stock exchange or not, during the period 2017 to 2022. Financial performance risk is measured using proxies of credit risk, liquidity risk, capital risk and bankruptcy risk, while corporate sustainability is measured using ESG indicator disclosures in both sustainability reports and the Company's annual report with reference to the Refinitiv ESG Score indicator Findings: The results of this study show that financial performance risk proxied by credit risk, liquidity risk, capital risk and bankruptcy risk negatively affects the sustainability of the company, meaning that the higher the risk, the lower the sustainability of the company, especially the banking sector which is attached to various financial risks Research limitations/implications: This study only uses four proxies in measuring financial performance risk, future research is expected to also find the right measure in assessing the Company's sustainability risk. Originality/value: The ESG indicator used in this study refers to the Refinitiv ESG Indicator as one of the latest in the Company's ESG disclosure indicator. However, there is still little research that reviews how the influence of risk on the sustainability of the banking sector, and this makes the phenomenon of the influence of risk on sustainability interesting for further investigation.
