inFUSE Indonesia: Practical approaches to social performance and stakeholder governance

Objectives

• Provide a clear understanding of social performance as an integral part of ESG strategy, beyond compliance obligations.
• Introduce stakeholder governance frameworks that help companies build trust, reduce social risks, and enhance business resilience.
• Share case studies and best practices from Indonesian and global corporates that successfully integrate social performance and stakeholder governance.
• Facilitate interactive discussions among participants to exchange challenges and practical solutions in managing social issues at both company and community levels.
• Generate initial recommendations for companies to develop more inclusive, participatory, and impactful stakeholder engagement strategies.

Background

Within the ESG framework, the social dimension is often underestimated or reduced to CSR programs and regulatory compliance. Yet, strong social performance is a foundation of business resilience: it safeguards public trust, strengthens reputation, and prevents potential conflicts with communities. For companies operating in Indonesia’s diverse social landscape, this is key to securing their social license to operate and contributing to national sustainability priorities.

Equally important is stakeholder governance — the way companies engage, listen, and collaborate with communities, government, and civil society. Effective stakeholder governance ensures that corporate sustainability strategies are not designed top-down, but co-created with those directly affected by business operations. This approach drives inclusivity, transparency, and accountability, while creating shared value for businesses and society.

This workshop is designed to provide practical insights for corporate leaders. Through a mix of presentations, case studies, and discussions, participants will learn how to build effective stakeholder governance mechanisms, measure social performance more concretely, and integrate both dimensions into core business strategies. With the expertise of Social Investment Indonesia (SII), the workshop aims to help companies move beyond compliance and take bold leadership in social sustainability.
