This study aims to analyze the role of women in the council on gender diversity and support SDGs-5 on gender organization through internal gender diversity. They use data from 72 corporate sustainability reports in Indonesia published through the NCSR with GRI standards and processed using statistical regression testing. This study indicates that female on board affects gender diversity and supports SDGs-5 disclosure through gender diversity in the organization. The results of this study answer the theoretical gap with the results of previous studies, where female on board directly hurts the SDGs disclosure.
