Integrating Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles is crucial for large enterprises like Telkom to achieve sustainable growth and build stakeholder trust. Telkom has a solid foundation in both areas, with robust corporate governance, ISO 31000:2018-aligned risk management, and comprehensive compliance policies. Its "GoZero%" program demonstrates a strong commitment to ESG, supported by consistent international reporting. However, full integration faces challenges like data fragmentation, ESG data inconsistencies, and a dynamic regulatory landscape. Telkom also deals with potential political interference and capacity limitations as a state-owned enterprise. Despite these hurdles, integration offers significant opportunities: enhanced holistic risk mitigation, improved operational efficiency through unified data, and increased stakeholder trust via transparent reporting. Leveraging AI can further streamline data management and automate compliance. This paper proposes a strategic framework for Telkom, emphasizing strong leadership, improved data governance, embedding ESG into enterprise risk management, robust sustainability compliance, and fostering an ethical culture for a more sustainable and resilient future.
