Abstract

Investors are now starting to pay attention to a company's non-financial performance in addition to its financial performance. This research aims to analyze the effect of Sustainability Report disclosure (SRDI) and profitability (ROE) on firm value (PBV). The population of this research is all of the listed companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2018-2021. There are 30 sample companies that are obtained by using the purposive sampling method. The type of data in this research is secondary data that is collected through the website of IDX and the websites of each company. The data has been analyzed with multiple linear regression analysis method using the SPSS 22 program. The result of this research shows that Sustainability Report disclosure has an insignificant negative effect on firm value and profitability has a significant positive effect on firm value. In Indonesia, Sustainability Report was not mandatory until 2020 so the disclosure index before 2020 are low as firms and investors still did not put much interest on Sustainability Report. Meanwhile, it is proven that investors still value a firm based on its profitability as it gives positive signal about the firm’s success in managing investors’ money.
