The event was organized by Hukumonline on Friday, May 9, 2025, at the JS Luwansa Hotel, Kuningan, Jakarta.
Joko Yuhono, Chief Legal Counsel of Pertamina, stated that the award is a source of pride but also presents a challenge.
"For Pertamina, this is a challenge. It means that Pertamina must maintain its compliance standards, and even improve them, because regulatory compliance is evolving and becoming more complex," said Joko.
The IRCA assessment method consisted of questionnaires regarding company profiles, the completeness of compliance standards such as company guidelines or policies, and company activities related to applicable compliance in Indonesia.
Fadjar Djoko Santoso, Vice President of Corporate Communication of Pertamina, added that compliance standards are a necessity that must be applied within the company. Pertamina has policies regulating everything from employee behavior, such as commitment to the Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest, to business process management.
"Pertamina hopes that this recognition will encourage us to improve our compliance further and strengthen compliance implementation supervision across various activities," Fadjar explained.
CEO of Hukumonline, Arkka Dhiratara, stated that today’s increasingly complex business world makes legal compliance an absolute requirement for business operations continuity in Indonesia.
"Compliance is not only to avoid sanctions and legal risks, but it also directly affects the company's reputation in the public’s and stakeholders’ eyes," said Arkka.
Therefore, the IRCA 2025 event recognizes and appreciates companies and leaders committed to legal compliance.
"IRCA 2025 features several categories based on industry sectors, tailored to the complexity of their regulations," Arkka explained.
