2) Opinion: Strengthening SOE Governance Amid a Trust Crisis

Indonesia is a country rich in natural resources, including the mining sector, which serves as one of the backbones of the national economy. Its contribution to increasing state revenue, job creation, and exports is undeniable. However, these contributions have not fully translated into benefits for the wider society. Instead of bringing prosperity, weak and unaccountable governance (good corporate governance) has opened the door to environmental degradation due to excessive exploitation, economic inequality, and social conflict.

In recent years, the government has continued to promote downstream processing and value-added efforts in the mining sector. However, downstream efforts without comprehensive governance reform that emphasizes sustainability, transparency, and fairness will merely become an extension of old exploitative patterns in a new form.

Many problems stem from weak oversight and overlapping regulations. The prevalence of illegal mining, the granting of permits without thorough environmental impact assessments (AMDAL), and the lack of community involvement in decision-making processes all reflect poor governance. Often, mining companies neglect their obligations to carry out reclamation, directly endangering the safety and health of surrounding communities.

Moreover, production and financial reporting systems that lack full transparency create opportunities for data manipulation and potential corruption. In several regions, conflicts between local communities and mining companies also highlight the state’s failure to ensure fair benefit distribution.

Therefore, strengthening oversight systems, enhancing the capacity of audit committees, and establishing independent compliance units must be integral parts of governance transformation. Equally important is fostering a culture of integrity throughout the organization so that GCG becomes more than just a slogan—it becomes a living system embedded in corporate daily practices.

The recent cases that have surfaced should serve as a collective reflection—not for finger-pointing, but as a starting point for continuous improvement. Indonesia has a great opportunity to build strong, clean, and credible state-owned enterprises in the eyes of the world, provided that good governance is not merely formal but applied consistently and thoroughly.
