A comprehensive study on the quality of sustainability reporting disclosure between Indonesia and other countries

The shift in the business paradigm towards a more sustainable one has placed a balance between people, profit and the planet as a corporate culture. However, based on previous empirical studies, very few companies have put sustainability as the soul of their business, especially in the types of industries that are not obliged to report their social responsibility activities. This study aims to compare the quality of the sustainability report based on the GRI G4 indicator for foreign and domestic companies engaged in construction services. The data was taken using a purposive method on construction service companies that published their 2017 sustainability reports and found 30 companies. The quality of the report is compared between the three indicators, namely economic, social and environmental. The results showed that in terms of quality of disclosure, there was no difference between domestic and foreign construction service companies, whether tested per category or tested collectively. The results of this study reinforce the previous finding that companies are still very dependent on the regulatory compliance approach only in implementing sustainability, especially in the construction service industry.

Upaya Pemerintahan Daerah dalam Penggunaan Inovasi Teknologi dalam Perencanaan Pembangunan Pemerintahan Daerah (Studi Kasus di Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan dan Provinsi Sumatera Barat)

This technological development has become a medium used by a state administrator to improve the welfare or services of its citizens. An innovation to capture this phenomenon is needed. Local government innovation is very important in implementing good and reliable governance (Good Governance). The implementation of regional development always begins with research and development activities, as well as assessments. Development planning is not only done on the table, without seeing the reality on the ground. The core of the planning problem is making the plan itself which includes a series of procedures and involves many parties. The long process and the many parties involved often make planning ineffective. Based on this, this study aimed to compare the differences in planning innovations carried out in two different regions in South Sulawesi and West Sumatra to compare the innovations of the two regions. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach. As a result, South Sulawesi and West Sumatra had different development innovations.

Buildings for Dollars and Oil: East German and Romanian Construction Companies in Cold War Iraq

This article discusses the partial integration of companies from socialist Eastern Europe into the nascent economic globalisation in the late Cold War. By focusing on the industrial slaughterhouse designed and built in Baghdad by East German and Romanian companies (1974–81), it shows how they operated within and across the political economy of state socialism and the emerging, Western-dominated market of construction services. In Baghdad, East Germans and Romanians struggled with working across differing monetary regimes, inefficient corporate structures and the requirement to comply with Western standards and regulations. This article shows how they strived to bypass obstacles and to exploit opportunities stemming from their liminal and unequal position in Iraq. By zooming into architectural and engineering documentation, it argues that petrobarter agreements, or the exchange of crude oil for goods and services, shaped programmes, layouts, technologies and materialities of buildings constructed by Eastern Europeans in Iraq and the region.
