JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Social Empowerment (Menko PM) Abdul Muhaimin Iskandar said that protecting workers through employment social security will protect the sustainability of business in the future.
"Employment social security is an instrument for medium and long-term investment, and is an important part of the empowerment ecosystem. Protecting our workers today means protecting the sustainability of business in the future," said Coordinating Minister Muhaimin Iskandar, quoted by Antara.
At the 2025 Social Security Award Paritrana Award Ceremony, he said, worker protection is an important concern for the global investment world.
Many investors, he said, are beginning to consider ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) aspects in making investment decisions.
"Social security for workers is one of the characteristics of a credible and sustainable company because it has high ESG values. The better a company protects its workers, the better the company's image in the eyes of investors," said Muhaimin Iskandar.
Meanwhile, the President Director of BPJS Employment, Saiful Hidayat, expressed his appreciation to all award recipients and emphasized the importance of strengthening cross-sector collaboration in expanding the scope of employment social security protection.
"Appreciation to all award recipients. This shows the importance of synergy between the central government, local government, business world, village government, and all stakeholders," said Saiful Hidayat.
According to him, protection for vulnerable workers cannot be done partially, but requires a joint movement involving all stakeholders.
Saiful hopes that the Paritrana Award will not only be a form of appreciation for the award recipients, but also be able to encourage the birth of a collaborative movement that is sustainable in expanding employment social security protection throughout Indonesia.
"The Social Security Award for Employment is not only an award event, but is also expected to be a catalyst in encouraging positive competition between regions and business actors to present innovative worker protection," said Saiful Hidayat.
