PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BNI) has retained its Leadership in Corporate Governance title at the 17th IICD Corporate Governance Award 2026 for the second consecutive year, reinforcing its commitment to Good Corporate Governance (GCG) practices (12/10).

The award was presented at an event organized by the Indonesian Institute for Corporate Directorship (IICD) at the Main Hall of the Indonesia Stock Exchange in Jakarta. BNI was also named among the Top 50 BigCap Public Listed Companies and recorded the best corporate governance performance within the KBMI 4 banking group.

BNI Maintains Its Leadership in Corporate Governance

BNI first received the Leadership in Corporate Governance title in 2025, when it advanced from the Best Overall category. Retaining the title in 2026 marks the second consecutive year the bank has achieved the highest recognition in the category.

The achievement reflects the bank’s continued efforts to strengthen the implementation of good corporate governance across its business operations.

IICD Assesses Transparency and Shareholder Protection

The IICD Corporate Governance Award uses the ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard (ACGS) methodology to evaluate corporate governance practices among publicly listed companies.

The assessment covers several areas, including information disclosure, corporate management responsibilities, sustainability, and the protection of shareholder rights.

BNI Corporate Secretary Okki Rushartomo said the recognition would encourage the bank to maintain governance quality throughout its business processes and decision-making.

“For BNI, corporate governance is not merely part of regulatory compliance, but also serves as a foundation for maintaining the trust of shareholders, customers, and all stakeholders. We continue to strengthen the implementation of good governance principles so that every business decision is made responsibly and supports the company’s sustainability,” Okki said in a written statement.

BNI Strengthens Risk Management and Accountability

Okki said good corporate governance had become increasingly important amid changes in the financial industry, which require stronger risk management, oversight, and information disclosure.

BNI continues to promote prudential principles, risk management, and integrity across all levels of its organization. These efforts are part of the bank’s approach to maintaining management quality while supporting its business transformation.

Governance Supports BNI’s Long-Term Growth

Strengthening corporate governance is also part of BNI’s efforts to maintain its business fundamentals and support healthy, sustainable long-term growth.

As a state-owned enterprise within the Danantara Indonesia ecosystem, BNI continues to strengthen governance, risk management, and business discipline in line with the transformation direction for state-owned enterprises. This direction aims to make companies healthier, more competitive, and capable of delivering sustainable performance.

As it enters its eighth decade of operations, BNI remains committed to improving its governance standards in response to the evolving expectations of shareholders, customers, regulators, and other stakeholders.

These efforts are part of the bank’s commitment to maintaining trust and strengthening its contribution to Indonesia’s banking industry and national economy.
