Abstract

Sustainable development has become a global paradigm that demands a balance between economic growth, environmental protection, and social welfare. In this context, companies are no longer viewed solely as profit-oriented entities, but also as legal entities with responsibilities for environmental and societal sustainability. This study aims to analyze the concept of Green Corporate Governance from a corporate law perspective, examine its implementation as an instrument of sustainable development in Indonesia, and formulate a model for strengthening sustainability-oriented corporate governance. The study uses normative legal research methods with statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The legal materials consist of statutory regulations, doctrines, scientific literature, and various national and international legal instruments, analyzed qualitatively using a descriptive-prescriptive approach. The research results indicate that Green Corporate Governance is a strategic instrument for realizing sustainable development through the integration of environmental aspects into corporate decision-making processes, strengthening the accountability of directors and commissioners, implementing ESG principles, increasing transparency through sustainability reporting, and systematic environmental risk management. Strengthening the implementation of Green Corporate Governance requires regulatory harmonization, the development of effective oversight mechanisms, the utilization of digital technology in corporate governance, and the establishment of a sustainability-oriented corporate culture that can support the achievement of sustainable development goals in Indonesia.
