2025 ESG Initiatives: Good Governance

Universitas Indonesia’s Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee

At Universitas Indonesia (UI), we believe that a safe, inclusive, and equitable campus is the foundation for academic excellence and community wellbeing. To uphold these values, UI has established dedicated structures and mechanisms that ensure diversity, equity, inclusion, and human rights are embedded into everyday campus life.

The Sexual Violence Prevention and Handling Task Force (Satgas PPKS) serves as the frontline in creating a campus free from violence at UI. To ensure proper representation, Satgas PPKS consists of faculty, administrative staff, and student elements. Operating at the university level and represented in every faculty, Satgas PPKS works to prevent, respond to, and advocate against sexual violence. This ensures that protection and support are consistently available for all members of the academic community.

In 2025, UI established the Subdirectorate for Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct Handling as a permanent part of our organizational structure under the Directorate for Internal Audit and Supervision (DPAI). This subdirectorate plays a vital role in ensuring the effective prevention and handling of sexual violence on campus. Through close coordination with Satgas PPKS, they establish policies and procedures, allocate budgets, and monitor program implementation to guarantee that prevention and response efforts are well-facilitated, timely, and aligned with university regulations. They oversee awareness and socialization programs to strengthen understanding of ethical conduct and sexual violence prevention, while also escalating cases that require leadership attention.

Complementing this initiative, UI also integrates diversity, equity, and inclusion into our broader governance and human resource framework. The Sub-Directorate of Employee Planning, Placement, and Development within the Directorate for Human Resources and Talent Development plays a central role in advising on and implementing policies, programs, and training related to diversity, equity, inclusion, and human rights. Through this office, UI ensures that principles of fairness and inclusivity are not only upheld in student life but also embedded in staff development and institutional practices.

Strengthening Integrity through Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policies

Integrity, transparency, and accountability is the foundation of our governance at UI. We recognize that preventing bribery and corruption is essential to maintaining trust within our academic community and society at large. In order to reinforce this commitment, we have established numerous policies that guide our practices and ensure ethical conduct across all levels of UI. To ensure relevance, we have continued to update these policies within the past three years. These policies include:

Rectoral Regulation No. 29 of 2025 on Procedures for Settlement and Demands for State Compensation as an anti-corruption measure in order to safeguard institutional resources.
Rectoral Decree No. 40 of 2025 on the Placement of University Funds as an anti-corruption measure in order to ensure transparent and accountable financial management.
Rectoral Regulation No. 4 of 2024 on the Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct of Universitas Indonesia as an anti-corruption and anti-bribery measure in order to set clear standards of professional behavior.
Rectoral Regulation No. 5 of 2024 on the Guidelines for Resolving Violations of the Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct of Universitas Indonesia as an anti-corruption and anti-bribery measure in order to provide mechanisms for enforcement and accountability.
Rectoral Regulation No. 6 of 2022 on Gratification Control as an anti-bribery measure in order to prevent undue influence, gifts, or benefits that could compromise integrity and decision-making within UI.
Rectoral Regulation No. 7 of 2022 on Handling Conflict of Interest as an anti-bribery and anti-corruption measure in order to ensure impartiality, fairness, and transparency in university governance and operations.

Advancing Sustainable Development at Universitas Indonesia through UI’s Sustainable Green Campus Task Force

At UI, sustainability is a core institutional priority. To ensure that sustainable development is advanced across all aspects of life on campus, we have formally established the UI Sustainable Green Campus Task Force (Tim Gugus Tugas Kampus Hijau UI Berkelanjutan) through the updated Rectoral Decree No. 1509 of 2025. This task force is composed of dedicated staff who are responsible for designing, implementing, and monitoring sustainability initiatives at UI. All faculties have their Facilities Manager as a representative in this task force.

The Green Campus Task Force operates through several key areas:

Policy and Governance, in which the task force is responsible for drafting, updating, and overseeing sustainability policies and ensuring its alignment with UI’s nine core values and national regulations. In this area, the task force is mandated to advise leadership and integrate sustainability into institutional governance.
Infrastructure and Facilities, in which the main focus is implementing green building standards, energy efficiency, and sustainable resource management. This includes campus-wide initiatives such as waste reduction, water conservation, and renewable energy adoption.
Academics and Curriculum, in which the task force is responsible for ensuring sustainability literacy is embedded into teaching and research. This area collaborates with faculties to integrate sustainability topics into curricula and promotes interdisciplinary research on environmental issues.
Student Engagement and Activities, in which the task force encourages student involvement in sustainability programs, community service, and innovation projects. In this area, the task force fosters a culture of environmental responsibility among the student body.
Administration and Green Office, in which the task force promotes the green office model across all units as well as ensures that administrative processes are environmentally friendly by adopting paperless systems, digital workflows, and sustainable procurement practices.
Monitoring and Evaluation, in which the task force tracks progress on sustainability indicators and prepares reports for the Vice Rector for Infrastructure and Facilities to ensure accountability and continuous improvement.

Through the establishment of UI’s Green Campus Task Force, UI demonstrates our commitment to sustainability as an institution-wide responsibility. By embedding sustainability into governance, operations, and education, UI ensures that our campus remains a model of environmental responsibility and innovation.

In addition to this, UI’s Green Campus Task Force are held accountable in their responsibilities as well by the Performance Evaluation and Rankings (EKP) Subdivision at the Directorate of Planning and Performance. With this scheme, the task force acts as doers while the EKP team monitors and evaluates their performance to be reported and evaluated by external parties.

Development of Ethical Values at Universitas Indonesia

At Universitas Indonesia (UI), we believe that ethical values are the cornerstone of academic excellence and community trust. Our commitment is embodied in the Book of the 9 UI Values, a publicly available strategic document that guides our entire academic community. The nine values of UI are:

Honesty
Justice
Freedom
Diversity
Unity
Integrity
Responsibility
Excellence
Sustainability

These values are continuously embedded into campus life through structured programs. All new staff are introduced to the 9 UI Values during initial induction, while students receive socialization of these values during freshmen orientation.

To monitor how effectively these values are practiced, UI conducts an annual survey. Previously managed by the Directorate for Human Resources and Talent Development, this responsibility was transferred in 2025 to the Directorate for Risk Management, Governance, and Cultural Transformation, ensuring stronger alignment with governance and cultural transformation initiatives.

Additionally, the Faculty of Administrative Science has adopted their own values as well as an extension of UI’s nine values. These values are Commitment, Integrity, Transformative, and Accountability. Information on this is publicly available on their website.

How Universitas Indonesia Provides Training Based on Institutional Values

To ensure the adoption of UI’s values across campus, UI has consistently organized various training programs to introduce practical applications of UI’s values to our community through the Directorate for Human Resources and Talent Development. The following are several events throughout the past year:

ISO 9001:2015 Internal Audit Training: This activity strengthened understanding of quality management systems, audit practices, and report preparation, while also enhancing the competency of UI’s internal auditors as a form of responsibility and to uphold integrity. Through this training, UI affirms our commitment to professional, transparent, and quality-oriented governance.
English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) Workshop: This training program is proof of UI’s commitment to excellence through the development of faculty capacity in EMI-based education. Through this event, UI hopes to increase faculty quality and capacity in order to strengthen global competitiveness.
Workshop on Strengthening Teamwork through Organizational Transformation and UI’s 9 Values: This workshop aimed to strengthen organizational transformation by fostering trust as the foundation of teamwork, while introducing the concept of design thinking to enhance collaboration and problem-solving. Through this workshop, UI reaffirmed our commitment to building accountable teams that embody UI’s values.
Anti-Corruption and Corruption Prevention in Procurement of Goods and Services: This anti-corruption workshop solidifies our commitment to realizing a workplace of transparency and accountability through strengthening the understanding of anti-corruption principles in procurement such as integrity, ethics, potential irregularities, as well as prevention strategies.
Applied Approach (AA) Training: This training strengthened the pedagogical competence of our faculty by combining critical discussion, collaborative group work, and reflective practice. Through this AA training, UI reaffirmed our commitment to developing professional educators who integrate theory into practice to ensure impact and sustainability learning experiences in the pursuit of excellence.

In addition to our efforts on a campus-wide level, several faculties also regularly conduct training based on UI’s 9 Values themselves. The following are several notable events:

Excellent Service Training and Public Satisfaction Survey Evaluation for the Faculty of Public Health. This event aims to improve the quality of service within the Faculty of Public Health environment and gain insight into public perceptions of the services provided by the faculty.
Workshop on Work Culture: Building Professionalism by Implementing UI’s 9 Values for the Vocational Education Program.
KPK Talk Series 3: The Temptation and Dilemma of Integrity at the Faculty of Economics and Business, organized in collaboration with the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). This event emphasized the importance of nurturing future leaders with strong values, explored challenges to integrity, and promoted anti-corruption principles such as honesty, responsibility, discipline, and fairness.
Interactive Training on UI’s 9 Values at the Faculty of Computer Science. This training was aimed at strengthening ethical awareness and integrity among students, faculty, and staff. Practical applications of values such as honesty, justice, diversity, responsibility, and sustainability were particularly emphasized.

Universitas Indonesia's Internal Reporting System

As part of our efforts to uphold our values at UI, we have implemented SIPDUGA, the Reporting System for Alleged Violations at UI. The scope of this reporting mechanism covers actions suspected of violating the UI code of ethics, internal regulations, or statutory law and applies to all members of the UI community including students, lecturers, educational staff, and researchers. The system is designed to protect integrity, transparency, and accountability on campus. Reportable actions include plagiarism; forgery or manipulation of academic documents; corruption, collusion, and nepotism; theft; damage to UI facilities; gratification; abuse of authority or position; conflict of interest; financial manipulation; occupational health and safety violations; sexual harassment or indecency; sexual violence; violations of other codes of ethics and conduct; violations of employee discipline; violations of other internal regulations; violations of statutory laws and regulations.

In operating SIPDUGA, UI prioritizes the principles of confidentiality, protection, independence, accountability, substantive truth, convenience, fairness, presumption of innocence, and legality. Therefore the reporter’s identity and the report contents are kept confidential and known only to the receiving teams, and anyone managing SIPDUGA is prohibited from interfering with that confidentiality. Universitas Indonesia guarantees protection from unfair dismissal; demotion or reduction in rank; harassment or discrimination; bullying; and adverse entries in the individual’s personal records. Legal basis for SIPDUGA includes the following:

Recognized Student Unions at Universitas Indonesia

UI fosters student representation and leadership through the Student Executive Board of UI (BEM UI), which serves as the recognized student union for students across all levels of UI. Its leadership is elected annually via a democratic “one student, one vote” process overseen by the Student Election Committee, ensuring transparency and independence from university intervention. BEM UI represents student interests, acts as a liaison with university management, organizes events, and supports student initiatives, while maintaining autonomy by fostering a relationship with the Student Executive Board of Indonesia (BEM SI) for coordination purposes rather than joining the national student organization.

Beyond the university-wide level, each faculty has their own Student Executive Board as well as Student Associations and Forums for each department under them. This provides platforms for student leadership development and participation in academic and organizational activities at all levels. This multi-level system strengthens student involvement in governance, embeds democratic practices, and cultivates a culture of accountability and inclusivity, ensuring that UI students are actively engaged in shaping campus life and contributing to a dynamic academic environment.

Universitas Indonesia's Sustainability Committee

UI has established a formal sustainability committee known as the UI Sustainable Green Campus Task Force (Tim Gugus Tugas Pengembangan Kampus Hijau Universitas Indonesia yang Berkelanjutan). This body was officially mandated by Rectoral Decree No. 1509 of 2025 as a strategic response to global challenges and to align the university with World Class University standards in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The committee is specifically tasked with driving UI’s performance in major global benchmarks, including THE Impact Rankings, QS Sustainability Rankings, and UI GreenMetric.

The committee is directly integrated into UI’s executive leadership, ensuring high-level accountability. The Vice Rector for Infrastructure and Facilities serves as the Management Representative, sitting on the committee to provide strategic direction and ensure that sustainability is embedded into the Tridharma (Education, Research, and Community Service). This executive involvement bridges the gap between Top Management and operational units, ensuring that resources are effectively allocated and that sustainability progress is reported directly to the university’s highest leadership.

The task force operates through a sophisticated multidisciplinary structure that covers all aspects of campus life:

Strategic Planning & Budgeting: Developing short, medium, and long-term roadmaps for environmental preservation and ensuring financial support for green initiatives.
Technical Coordination: Dedicated coordinators manage specific SDG-related sectors, including Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG 6), Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG 7), Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11), and Climate Action (SDG 13).
Infrastructure and Green Office: Implementing green building standards, waste and transportation management, and promoting paperless administrative workflows across all units.
Academic & Research Integration: Ensuring sustainability literacy is woven into the curriculum and fostering interdisciplinary research to address environmental issues.
Decentralized Implementation: The committee includes representatives from every Faculty, School, and Vocational Program, ensuring that sustainability policies are not only centralized but also effectively socialized and executed at the grassroots level.

Additionally, a dedicated wing for Ranking and Evaluation is responsible for collecting evidence, identifying institutional gaps, and providing data-driven recommendations for continuous improvement. By establishing this dedicated committee with direct executive oversight and a presence in every faculty, UI ensures that sustainable development is a structural reality, backed by the necessary authority and a clear mandate for institutional transformation.

Publication of Decisions in Universitas Indonesia's Annual General Meeting

UI conducts an annual formal general assembly which coincides with UI’s anniversary celebration (Dies Natalis UI). This assembly is attended by UI’s senior leadership and faculty executives, and is broadcasted live across UI’s social media channels to ensure transparency and accountability. Additionally, any decision made in meetings by senior leadership are documented in their respective websites:

UI also publishes various important documents for public access on the Information and Documentation Management Officer (PPID) website, among others:
