Abstract

The growing emphasis on corporate sustainability has transformed how organizations disclose their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. Traditional financial reporting is increasingly considered insufficient to capture the broader impact of corporate activities on society and the environment. Consequently, sustainability reporting (SR) and ESG ratings have emerged as important mechanisms for evaluating corporate sustainability and guiding strategic decision-making. However, existing studies often examine sustainability reporting and ESG performance separately, leaving limited understanding of how their integration influences organizational outcomes. This study aims to analyze the integration of sustainability reporting and ESG ratings and its impact on operational performance and corporate reputation. A qualitative case study approach was employed focusing on PT Petrokimia Gresik, a major fertilizer and chemical company in Indonesia. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and secondary corporate reports. The findings indicate that the integration of SR and ESG practices improves operational efficiency, strengthens environmental compliance, and enhances corporate reputation through increased stakeholder trust. The study highlights that embedding ESG indicators into internal performance targets plays a key role in strengthening sustainability governance and long-term corporate competitiveness.
