Abstract

This research aims to develop an Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices model and index based on sustainable finance regulation from a Management Control System Four Levers of Control (MCS-LoC) perspective. The ESG index was developed by utilizing content analysis of information disclosure in annual and sustainability reports of ten non-financial industry sectors listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2015 to 2022 (640 observations). Subsequently, the effect of the ESG Index on Investment Efficiency (IE) was tested with the moderating role of Interactive Control (INTR). The results indicate that companies are in the second stage of the sustainable business transition, characterized by initiatives to formulate strategies and risk governance. ESG practices do not affect IE, but there is a moderating role (strengthening) of INTR in the general scenario. Additionally, INTR moderates the effect of Belief Systems but does not moderate the influence of Boundary Systems on IE. Conversely, Diagnostics Control negatively moderates (weakening) in the underinvestment scenario. In the overinvestment scenario, INTR negatively moderates the relationship between ESG practices and IE. This research successfully demonstrates the transformative potential of MCS-LoC in ESG practices and can enhance IE. The findings have practical implications for the non-financial industry and provide input for regulators.

Bahasa Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan model praktik dan indeks Lingkungan, Sosial dan Governansi (ESG) berdasarkan perspektif Sistem Pengendalian Manajemen Empat Tuas (MCS-LoC). Model praktik dan Index ESG dikembangkan berdasarkan literatur dan regulasi keuangan berkelanjutan menggunakan analisis konten pengungkapan informasi dalam laporan tahunan dan laporan keberlanjutan perusahaan sepuluh sektor industri non-keuangan dari tahun 2015 hingga 2022 (640 observasi). Selanjutnya, Index ESG diuji pengaruhnya terhadap Efisiensi Investasi (IE) dengan peran moderasi Sistem Pengendalian Interaktif (INTR). Hasil penelitian menunjukan perusahaan berada pada tahap kedua transisi bisnis berkelanjutan (BST2.0), ditandai dengan inisiatif memformulasikan strategi dan


governansi risiko. Praktik ESG tidak berpengaruh terhadap IE pada skenario umum, namun terdapat peran moderasi positif INTR. Selain itu, INTR juga memoderasi positif dalam pengaruh Sistem Keyakinan, namun tidak memoderasi dari pengaruh Sistem Batasan terhadap IE. Sebaliknya dengan Diagnostik Kontrol terdapat peran moderasi negatif (memperlemah) pada skenario underinvestment. Begitu juga pada skenario overinvestment, INTR memoderasi negatif dalam hubungan praktik ESG terhadap IE. Penelitian ini berhasil membuktikan potensi transformatif Sistem Pengendalian Manajemen Empat Tuas dalam praktik ESG, dan dapat meningkatkan Efisiensi Investasi (IE). Hasil penelitian memberi implikasi praktik bagi sektor industri nonkeuangan untuk percepatan transisi ke sistem ekonomi rendah karbon serta masukan bagi regulator.
