PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, or BNI, reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening the implementation of good corporate governance (GCG) and an anti-corruption culture. This was realized through the organization of a Compliance Forum with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) with the theme "Decision-Making Based on the Business Judgment Rule Principle in the Context of Good Corporate Governance and Anti-Corruption."
This event involved the Board of Commissioners, Directors, SEVP, Commissioners and Directors of BNI's financial conglomerate companies, senior leaders, all certified Integrity Builders (API) and Anti-Corruption Counselors (PAKSI) employees, as well as BNI Hi-Movers, both in person and online. The Compliance Forum is an annual routine agenda that serves as a strategic platform to strengthen the implementation of GCG and a culture of compliance across all levels of the organization.
BNI Corporate Secretary Okki Rushartomo stated that this forum holds significance for deepening understanding of the Business Judgement Rule principle, which is the foundation for prudent business decision-making.
"Through this forum, we want to deepen our understanding of the Business Judgement Rule principle, which provides legal protection for decision-makers to the extent as it is done in good faith, with due care, and in the best interests of the company," said Okki.
Okki added that BNI consistently implements various initiatives to strengthen its anti-corruption culture and control gratification. These efforts include mandatory learning programs for all Hi-Movers, public awareness campaigns on the ban of gratuity, and collaboration with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the Attorney General's Office, and law enforcement agencies through anti-corruption training in the banking sector.
According to Okki, the implementation of GCG is not only the responsibility of management, but of all BNI employees, including subsidiaries, so that the BNI ecosystem grows with strong integrity. "Hopefully this forum will provide broad benefits, not only for BNI, but also for the nation and the country," he remarked.
This step affirms BNI's commitment to building a healthy and sustainable corporate culture, while also strengthening public trust in the national banking sector.
