JAKARTA - PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk or BNI won the award as The Most Trusted Company at the 2024 Corporate Governance Perception Index (CGPI) Award. In the prestigious award given by SWA Magazine together with the Indonesia Institute for Corporate Governance (IICG), BNI won the title of "Most Trusted Company Category".

The award was received directly by the Director of Human Capital & Compliance of BNI, Mucharom, at the Shangri-La Hotel, Jakarta, Monday (11/25/2024). This is also proof of BNI's commitment to implementing and upholding the principles of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) consistently and sustainably.

The assessment carried out by the jury team proved that BNI's transformation was considered successful in preparing and developing digital business and ecosystem solutions, focusing on best customers for penetration in the global market, and maintaining risk and operational management in order to achieve sustainable performance and productivity.

"We would like to thank IICG and SWA Media Group for trusting us to receive the title of The Most Trusted Companies," he said.

In the series of events, Mucharom also participated as a resource person in one of the discussion sessions with the topic "Strengthening GCG For Maturity & Sustainable Growth."

"BNI believes that achieving good performance can continue to be maintained sustainably in the long term and various business prospects that are to be achieved can be realized, if the Bank can implement GCG principles consistently," he said.

Mucharom continued, BNI is not only trying to implement sustainable practices, but also encouraging the implementation of risk management that can measure the maturity of its management. BNI has implemented the Risk Maturity Index assessment since 2021, and improvements are made periodically, where in 2023 the maturity of risk management is in the Good Practice Phase position.

Mucharom continued, in implementing GCG principles, cyber security is also a crucial factor today. "To that end, we are improving cyber security in line with global standard practices and one of them is BNI which has been continuously evaluated by the National Cyber ​​and Crypto Agency (BSSN) since 2022, with the results of BNI's maturity level of 4.81 in 2024 which shows the readiness and resilience of our system to face cyber security threats," he explained.

Until October 2024, BNI has succeeded in proving its fundamental strength in facing global macroeconomic challenges influenced by inflationary pressures, exchange rate fluctuations, and interest rates. Through various anticipatory steps focused on strict risk management, BNI has been able to maintain solid financial performance, while mitigating the negative impacts of external factors.

"We believe that the implementation of consistent and committed GCG from all employees to Senior Leaders will bring BNI to grow healthily and have a positive impact on the environment, gain recognition from investors and other stakeholders, so that BNI will remain sustainable in the long term," he added.
