Corporate value plays a crucial role in evaluating the success and sustainability of a business entity, influenced by various internal factors such as special connections, transfer pricing practices, and the effective tax rate (ETR). This study aims to examine the impact of these variables on the value of companies in the property and real estate sector on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, and to examine the role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a moderating variable. The study's findings reveal that special relationships and less transparent transfer pricing practices generally decrease company value, while efficiency in ETR can increase it. CSR acts as a moderating factor, strengthening the positive relationship between internal variables and company value while reducing the negative risks of unethical practices. This study recommends the implementation of more solid governance and transparency in business activities to increase competitiveness and company value in the Indonesian property and real estate industry.

This study aims to investigate in detail the tax planning and implementation strategies applied by PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk in fulfilling its Corporate Income Tax (CIT) obligations. While taxes serve as a major source of government revenue, they also represent a financial burden for businesses that can impact net profits. Therefore, the implementation of a carefully designed tax planning approach is crucial to effectively manage tax liabilities while remaining compliant with existing legal regulations. The research employs a descriptive-analytical method, supported by a review of relevant literature and the use of secondary data obtained from taxation-related documentation. The study seeks to identify the tax planning protocols adopted by the company and assess their influence on the effectiveness of the firm’s tax-related financial expenditures. The findings reveal that PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk has successfully implemented tax planning strategies through the strategic utilization of deductible expenses as outlined in Article 6(1) of the Indonesian Income Tax Law, which includes expenditures for employee training, research and development activities, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. This approach allows the company to legally reduce its tax obligations while enhancing its financial efficiency. The insights gained from this research are expected to serve as a framework for other organizations in developing tax planning policies that are not only effective and efficient but also sustainable in the long term.

Environmental sustainability has become an essential approach for companies to enhance their competitive advantage and reputation. This study examines the effect of ownership structure on sustainability performance and firm value. This study uses data from state-owned enterprises listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Ownership structure is proxied by institutional ownership, management ownership, and public ownership; sustainability performance is proxied by the total economic score, environmental score, and social score; and firm value is proxied by Tobin's Q. Our results reveal that ownership structure (management ownership, institutional ownership, and public ownership) have a direct effect on firm value, but indirectly do not have an indirect effect on firm value through CSR does not mediate the relationship between management ownership and institutional ownership with firm value. The unique findings of this study indicate that CSR mediates the relationship between public ownership and firm value. Public ownership partially mediates the relationship between firm type and firm value. The implications of this study will be significant for policymakers, corporate management, academics, and investors in considering the adoption and importance of corporate environmental practices.

The development of digital technology has brought significant changes to the banking industry, particularly through the implementation of internet banking and mobile banking services that aim to support financial inclusion. In addition, corporate concern for social aspects through corporate social responsibility (CSR) spending has also become an essential factor in ensuring business sustainability and increasing public trust. This study aims to analyze the effect of internet banking, mobile banking, and CSR expenses on the financial performance of banking institutions. The research population consisted of banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2018–2022 period, with a total sample of 55 companies that met the data completeness criteria. The analysis method employed was multiple linear regression to determine the relationship and influence of the independent variables on financial performance as the dependent variable. The results show that internet banking has a significant positive effect on financial performance, indicating that the more optimal the use of internet banking services, the better the financial performance of banks. Similarly, CSR expenses also have a positive effect on financial performance, suggesting that effective and efficient allocation of CSR funds provides benefits not only for society but also for the long-term sustainability of the banks. On the other hand, mobile banking does not have a significant effect on financial performance, implying the need for improving service quality, enhancing technological features, and strengthening digital literacy so that mobile banking can contribute more effectively to banking performance. Therefore, the findings highlight the importance of digital innovation and integrated socio-economic strategies to strengthen the sustainability and competitiveness of the banking sector in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) implementation on profitability, with the Sustainability Report acting as a moderating variable, at PT Sinergi Gula Nusantara, Ngadirejo Sugar Factory, during the 2019–2023 period. Profitability was measured using Return on Assets (ROA) and Net Profit Margin (NPM), CSR was assessed through the PROPER rating, and the Sustainability Report was evaluated using a disclosure index based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards. The research utilized a quantitative descriptive method and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) to test the relationships between the variables. The findings revealed that CSR had a positive and significant effect on both ROA and NPM. However, the study found that the Sustainability Report did not moderate the relationship between CSR and ROA, indicating that the sustainability disclosures had no significant impact on improving ROA. In contrast, the Sustainability Report was able to moderate the relationship between CSR and NPM, strengthening the influence of CSR on profitability as measured by NPM. This suggests that sustainability reporting plays a critical role in enhancing the positive effects of CSR on financial performance, particularly in terms of profitability indicators such as NPM. The study provides valuable insights for companies aiming to integrate CSR practices and sustainability reporting to achieve improved financial performance and long-term sustainability.

Profitability is a critical factor in ensuring a company’s sustainability. In the current business environment, companies are required to balance profit with non-financial aspects, namely social and environmental considerations. This study aims to empirically examine the effect of green accounting, environmental performance, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure on profitability, using firm size as a control variable. The research was conducted on manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2024 period. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, resulting in 246 observations. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression techniques. The findings indicate that green accounting and firm size (as a control variable) have a significant negative effect on profitability. In contrast, environmental performance and CSR disclosure have a significant positive effect on profitability. These results imply that corporate management should strive to balance profit, social, and environmental aspects without neglecting cost efficiency. Furthermore, environmental performance and CSR disclosure can serve as key indicators in investment decision-making, as they provide favorable returns for shareholders.

This study investigates the effect of environmental costs on the level of environmental information transparency in manufacturing companies in the basic materials subsector, while providing empirical evidence regarding the relationship. Environmental costs are calculated through the ratio of corporate social responsibility (CSR) burden to the organization's net profit. Meanwhile, the company's environmental performance is evaluated using the PROPER rating on an ordinal scale. The level of environmental coverage is measured comprehensively through the Clarkson index which covers various dimensions of existing reporting. A quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis is applied to test the relationship between variables. In selecting the sample, a purposive sampling technique was used by considering the completeness of the data and certain sector criteria, resulting in 35 companies as the final sample that met the analysis requirements. The results of the study revealed that an increase in environmental costs is directly proportional to a significant increase in environmental coverage. This indicates that company investment in environmental programs encourages more transparent reporting practices. In addition, environmental performance as reflected in the PROPER rating is also proven to have a positive and significant effect on the extent of environmental coverage.

This study aims to obtain empirical evidence regarding the effect of corporate governance and corporate social responsibility disclosure on tax aggressiveness with financial distress as a moderating variable. The population in this study was manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2019-2023. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique, resulting in 70 companies with 350 analysis units (panel data). The results of this study indicate that corporate governance proxied by independent commissioners has a significant negative effect on tax aggressiveness. Meanwhile, corporate governance proxied by institutional ownership, managerial ownership, and audit committees has no effect on tax aggressiveness. In addition, CSR disclosure also has no effect on tax aggressiveness. Financial distress is proven weaken the negative relationship between independent commissioners and tax aggressiveness, but is not proven to weaken the negative relationship between institutional ownership, managerial ownership, audit commitees, and CSR disclosure on tax aggressiveness. This study is provides for stakeholders, such as managers, shareholders, and the government in developing strategies to reduce tax aggressiveness practices.

Firm value is the company's performance reflected in the stock price, which is determined by the demand and supply in the capital market, representing public perception of the company's performance. This study aims to obtain empirical evidence on the influence of millennial leaders and CSR disclosure on firm value, with firm age as a control variable, in companies listed in the LQ45 Index from 2021 to 2023. The population of this study consists of 45 companies. Sampling was conducted using a non-probability sampling method with a purposive sampling technique, resulting in a total of 16 company samples. The analysis technique employed is multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that millennial leaders positively affect firm value, while CSR disclosure negatively affects firm value. This study provides theoretical implications by offering additional information and empirical evidence regarding the influence of millennial leaders and CSR disclosure on firm value. It also offers practical implications for company leaders to pay more attention to factors that can enhance firm value.

Tax aggressiveness refers to corporate actions aimed at reducing taxable income through tax planning strategies. This study aims to provide empirical evidence regarding the effect of profitability and liquidity on tax aggressiveness, with corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure as a moderating variable. This research is based on agency theory and focuses on manufacturing companies in the food and beverage sub-sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2020 to 2022. The study sample consists of 87 companies, selected using a purposive sampling technique. The research employs Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) to analyze the data. The findings indicate that profitability significantly influences tax aggressiveness, while liquidity does not. Additionally, CSR does not moderate the relationship between profitability and tax aggressiveness, nor does it moderate the effect of liquidity on tax aggressiveness. The theoretical implication of this research supports and expands the understanding of agency theory in tax-related decision-making. The practical implication suggests that highly profitable companies should avoid engaging in tax aggressiveness, as it may damage their corporate image. Moreover, fair tax policy implementation and enhanced government supervision are necessary to minimize tax avoidance practices

In an increasingly complex era of globalization, companies are expected not only to be profit-oriented, but also to pay attention to their social responsibility. This study aims to analyze the effect of business ethics on the effectiveness of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs in companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The method used is quantitative analysis with a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach using data from questionnaires distributed to 100-150 companies during the 2019-2023 period. The results of the analysis show that there is a significant relationship between business ethics and CSR performance, where companies that apply ethical principles tend to have more effective CSR programs. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of integrating ethics in business strategy to enhance corporate reputation and meet stakeholder expectations. This study also provides recommendations for companies and policy makers to formulate policies that support ethics-based CSR practices.

This literature review examines the impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) disclosure on mergers and acquisitions (M&A), focusing on market reactions, post-merger integration, and long-term performance. The review reveals that CSR disclosure often leads to positive market reactions, fostering investor confidence and increasing stock prices during M&A announcements. Furthermore, CSR practices contribute to smoother post-merger integration by aligning organizational cultures and fostering trust. Over the long term, companies that integrate CSR into their strategies generally experience enhanced brand value, customer loyalty, and competitive advantage. However, the effectiveness of CSR disclosure depends on its authenticity and strategic alignment with corporate goals. The review also highlights the need for further research in emerging markets and the exploration of qualitative approaches to deepen understanding of CSR’s role in M&A.
