Okta Sindhu Hartadinata — 2023-07-29

This study aims to present empirical evidence related to the variability of the performance of Islamic banks and the interest of Islamic banks in responding to sustainable finance policies at the beginning (2020) and during the pandemic (2021). This study uses secondary data derived from financial reports, annual reports, sustainability reports, and Corporate Social Responsibility (SCR) reports of Islamic banking companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange for 2020 – 2021. The data were analyzed by descriptive quantitative methods, which consisted of 2 stages, namely: analysis of performance variability and content analysis. The results of this study indicate that a low ROA calculation result, even a negative value, does not necessarily reflect poor performance because earnings management policies influence it. The results of the analysis of sustainable financial performance show that Islamic Commercial Banks have a high commitment to implementing sustainable finance. This research is expected to provide the implication that sharia principles in implementing bank business can make the financial performance of Islamic banks last during the pandemic. In addition, these principles align with the principles of sustainable finance, making it easier for banks to adopt them. The results of the assessment can be used as an evaluation for policymakers or the bank itself to achieve the best performance in carrying out sustainable finance practices and for interested parties to participate in supporting sustainable finance practices.

Legitimizing Corporate Social Responsibility Through "Huyula" Culture

Abdul Gaffar — 2023-07-31

The study aims to capture the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) from the perspectives of Lyotard and Huyula culture. CSR practices serve as a grand narrative used to obtain legitimacy for corporate practices and to mitigate negative impacts. This research adopts a qualitative approach within the framework of Postmodernism. The HUYULA culture is employed to dissect the reality of CSR. The findings of the study reveal that (1) the grand narrative in CSR practices is evident in CSR disclosures that primarily focus on fulfilling CSR item requirements according to GRI guidelines, without considering the actual facts and practices within the company. Moral values are disregarded when cases of environmental exploitation and human exploitation occur. CSR disclosures can serve as a tool for legitimizing the actions of corporate elites in serving their own interests. (2) CSR disclosures that accommodate Indonesian culture and noble values can liberate CSR disclosures from the grand narrative. The values of the Huyula culture can be integrated into CSR practices, making CSR implementation and disclosure tangible expressions of corporate care for stakeholders through a culture of mutual assistance. These values can foster the company's love for its stakeholders. Thus, CSR activities and disclosures go beyond being mere grand narratives. They become acts of corporate compassion towards fellow human beings through local wisdom values. This research provides broad insights and implies that cultural values can serve as the foundation for implementing CSR practices
