The object of this study is non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2020 to 2022 and issuing bonds rated by PT Pemeringkat Efek Indonesia (PEFINDO) from 2021 to 2023.The sample selection was done using the purposive sampling method resulting in a total of 18 non-financial companies.
