The National Center for Corporate Reporting (NCCR), formerly known as the National Center for Sustainability Reporting (NCSR), was established in 2005 through the initiative of government bodies, corporations, and distinguished individuals who recognized early on the importance of developing sustainability competencies in Indonesia.

In 2007, the Government of Indonesia introduced regulatory requirements for certain private and public corporations to undertake sustainability initiatives and disclose their sustainability performance. This regulatory development further strengthened the relevance of NCCR’s role in advancing sustainability reporting practices in the country.

Since its establishment, NCCR has continuously aligned its programs with global sustainability developments. It is recognized as a GRI Certified Training Partner and GRI Data Partner, demonstrating its commitment to internationally accepted sustainability reporting standards.NCCR has also organized the Indonesia Sustainability Reporting Awards annually since 2005, which is now known as the Asia Sustainability Reporting Rating (ASRRAT), serving as a platform to promote transparency, accountability, and excellence in sustainability reporting.
