Empowering Value Creation Topic Materiality Assessment

Growing together with the communities is BCA’s hope, as well as stay by the side of all stakeholders to deliver valuable work and creating shared value. Therefore, BCA is committed to continuously engaging and empowering communities through Bakti BCA Program.

A. Community Empowerment

To enhance the economic growth of Bakti BCA's fostered tourist villages, Bakti BCA collaborates with third parties in the digitalization of Bakti BCA's assisted villages program, resulting in the establishment of online shops since 2020, including Wirawisata Goa Pindul, Desa Wisata Pentingsari, Wisata Wayang Desa Wukirsari, Desa Wisata Tamansari, Doesoen Kopi Sirap, Kampung Batik Gemah Sumilir, Bukit Peramun, Wisata Aik Rusa Berehun, Kampung Adat Sijunjung, and Nagari Silokek.

BCA has 14 assisted tourism villages and also trusted by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf) to assist 12 BCA Partner Villages to transform into new leading tourist destinations.

Bakti BCA also assists micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) outside Bakti BCA's fostered villages through financial management and business development strategy training and introducing the marketplace to MSMEs in West Belitung, East Belitung, and West Nusa Tenggara.

B. Quality Education

In supporting higher quality education in Indonesia that can be accessible to all students in the country, BCA has held several education and scholarship programs for high-achieving students in the country through the Bakti BCA Scholarship Program, Business & Banking Education Program (PPBP), Information Technology Education Program (PPTI), and BCA assisted schools.

C. Financial Literacy & Inclusion

BCA carries out a smart solution program that aims to spread the culture of saving and managing finances early on, with coverage reaching areas in Indonesia that are considered unbankable. This program is implemented in collaboration with educational institutions to introduce communities to banking products and services.

D. Preservation of Indonesian Arts, Culture & Traditions

BCA’s commitment to preserve Indonesian arts, culture, and traditions has been carried out since 2019. The program includes competitions, appreciation/awards for art publications, and more. In carrying out the preservation of Indonesian arts, culture, and traditions, BCA directly involves the younger generation and utilizes digital platforms to optimize the results. BCA engages the younger generation to actively participate in the preservation process by adapting to the current language variety, adopting the mindset of the younger generation, and involving influencers. This preservation program covers many regions in Indonesia. One of the cultural preservation efforts undertaken by BCA is the preservation of wayang art.

E. Health and Community Welfare

One of BCA's concerns for the community is providing health services facilities, including cataract surgeries, Bakti BCA blood donation, free medical treatment, health education, accelerated stunting reduction program, and COVID-19 vaccination programs.

BCA's Materiality Issue Approach Through Understanding with Stakeholders

At BCA, we believe that sustainability is the foundation of long-term value creation for all stakeholders. To ensure that our strategy remains relevant and impactful, we conduct a comprehensive and structured Materiality Assessment process. This process is not only a reporting obligation, but also a vital strategic tool for identifying, prioritizing, and managing the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues that are most significant to our business, as well as to society and the environment.

Our Comprehensive Materiality Issue Assessment Process

Our commitment to transparency and accountability is reflected in our robust materiality assessment process, which is conducted annually.

  1. Structured and Inclusive Process: Our process begins by involving various stakeholder groups. We conduct online interviews with internal stakeholders (employee representatives from relevant working units) and external stakeholders (customers, vendors, media, and investor).
  1. Double Materiality Approach: We adopt the principle of double materiality, which means we analyze issues from two perspectives. First, we assess the impact of ESG issues on BCA's financial and operational performance (financial materiality). Second, we proactively identify the impact of our activities, products, and services on society and the environment (impact materiality).
  1. Integration with Risk Management and Strategy: The identified topics are then discussed intensively with senior management and integrated with the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework to assess potential risks and opportunities.
  1. Validation and Verification: The final results of the analysis are presented to the Board of Directors for review and approval, ensuring alignment with corporate strategy. To ensure credibility, the entire process has been verified by an independent third party using the AA1000 Assurance Standard (AS) v3.

Measuring Our External Impact: Impact Valuation for Stakeholders

As a manifestation of double materiality, we not only focus on internal impact, but also actively measure the external impact of our activities on society and the environment. We conduct impact valuation to translate our operational output into measurable external impact.

Continuous Improvement: This process is updated annually to remain adaptive to business dynamics, regulatory developments, and global stakeholder expectations.

Impact Valuation In strengthening the management of data security and customer privacy, BCA has implemented an integrated monitoring system at various levels.

In addition, the Bank also ensures that cybersecurity policies and practices are effectively implemented to maintain system integrity. Monitoring and evaluation of the green loan portfolio is carried out along with monitoring the sustainable finance implementation. The monitoring process is conducted quarterly and reported regularly to the Board of Directors and Board of Commissioners. In addition, discussions related to sustainable finance achievement and implementation as per the SFAP are also presented to stakeholders through analyst meetings. In particular, the management of the green loan portfolio is under the direct supervision of the Director of Finance and Corporate Planning.
