\nincluding UN Women, ASEAN Centre of Energy, University of Indonesia and more.<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

“With less than 10 years to achieve the
\nSDGs, we have to act now. By using the best available science, aligning with
\nglobal standards and accreditations and applying a data-driven approach to our
\nmethodology, we are ensuring our strategy is as robust, relevant and impactful
\nas possible. We also know we cannot achieve this alone and will leverage our

\n <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

Dr. Allinnettes Adigue,
\nHead of the ASEAN Regional Hub of GRI<\/b>, said: “Corporate sustainability is good
\nfor the people, planet and long-term profitability of a company because in the
\nend, no one can do business in a dead planet. It is no longer a question of
\nwhether companies should report on their sustainability impact. Sustainability
\nreporting is here to stay. It is now a question of whether what companies
\nreport are accurate and relevant, and clearly communicates their impact on the
\neconomy, environment and society. These issues matter to a wide range of
\nstakeholders, not just the narrow interests of a few.<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

“GRI Standards, as the most widely used
\nreporting standards in the world, is not just a reporting blueprint but more
\nimportantly, it provides organisations a global common language to set their
\nsustainability goals and regularly measure, analyse and report on their progress.
\nIn turn, this allows them to continuously improve their sustainability
\nperformance. The GRI Standards encourages companies to focus on material topics
\nthat reflect their most significant sustainability impact through the use of
\nquantitative data, narrative assessments and indicator-based systems.”<\/p>\n

\ncommunity amid COVID-19<\/b><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

Gojek also helped to minimise the impact
\nof COVID-19 across its ecosystem, ensuring the health and safety of
\nstakeholders, developing new products and services to meet changing needs and
\ncreating alternative income opportunities for merchants and driver partners. In
\n2020, Gojek founded the Anak Bangsa Bisa Foundation (YABB) to support its
\npartners and the wider community affected by the pandemic, raising IDR 100
\nbillion from senior leadership and GoTroops and IDR 20 billion from corporate
\ndonations and other donation programs[6]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

Gojek also protected consumers and the
\nwider community, leveraging the scale of its network to keep consumers up to
\ndate on health and safety guidelines as well as launching several app features
\nand initiatives to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and support frontline
\nworkers. <\/p>\n
