Research on the Regulation and Compliance of ESG Information Disclosure in the Securities Market

The disclosure of ESG information only depends on the voluntary disclosure of enterprises, which cannot ensure the openness and transparency of public information. Therefore, the supervision of the disclosure of ESG information is particularly important. Although China is gradually strengthening the ESG information disclosure requirements for listed companies, the regulatory framework for ESG information disclosure in China still needs to be optimized due to the differences in localization, small scope of disclosure, and large differences in evaluation system and standard system. This paper analyzes the current situation of ESG information disclosure in China, including the overall disclosure situation, the disclosure characteristics of different enterprises and industries, and the current situation of carbon emissions disclosure. The article points out the problems in the supervision system, such as the imperfection of supervision basis, the singleness of supervision subject and the insufficiency of supervision cooperation mechanism. On this basis, this paper puts forward some suggestions to improve the regulatory basis, build multiple collaboration subjects and optimize the regulatory collaboration mechanism, in order to improve the quality and efficiency of ESG information disclosure and promote the healthy development of China's capital market.

Challenges and Opportunities in Transforming Rural Governance Through E-Government in Indonesia

General Background: The adoption of E-Government systems is increasingly important in improving public services, particularly at the local government level, to enhance transparency and accessibility. Specific Background: In Indonesia, Village Information Systems (SID) have been introduced to streamline communication, resource management, and service delivery in rural areas. Sugihwaras Village in Sidoarjo Regency is one such location where SID has been implemented. Knowledge Gap: Despite its potential, the effectiveness of SID implementation remains underexplored, particularly in terms of communication, resources, and its impact on rural governance. Aims: This study aims to analyze and describe the implementation of E-Government through SID in Sugihwaras Village, focusing on the four indicators: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure, using Edward III's policy implementation model. Results: The findings indicate that communication and resource allocation are the primary issues hindering SID effectiveness. Inadequate operator training and a lack of budget for operator fees have led to outdated information and diminished motivation. However, strong commitment from local government and adherence to standard operating procedures (SOPs) have ensured that the system continues to function. Novelty: This study highlights the crucial role of consistent training and budgetary support in enhancing E-Government systems at the village level, particularly in rural Indonesia. Implications: Strengthening operator skills and ensuring adequate financial support are essential for optimizing SID as a tool for public information transparency and service delivery, contributing to improved rural governance and E-Government effectiveness. Highlights: Communication gaps limit the Village Information System's efficiency. Budget constraints reduce operator motivation and system updates. Government commitment keeps the system operational despite obstacles. Keywords: E-Government, Village Information System, rural governance, communication, resource allocation

Assessing the Indonesian government's compliance with the public information disclosure law in the context of COVID-19 data transparency

The matter of transparency regarding information and data emerges as a pivotal concern in the context of mitigating the COVID-19 epidemic in Indonesia. The regulation of public information transparency in Indonesia is stipulated in Law Number 14 of 2008, which ensures the disclosure of public information. The objective of this study is to conduct a comprehensive examination of the extent to which the Government of Indonesia adheres to the principles outlined in its legislation with regard to the implementation of transparency throughout the pandemic. The approach employed to assess the degree of adherence is normative-empirical analysis. The findings of this research analysis indicate a significant lack of transparency in the public dissemination of COVID-19 information and data in Indonesia. This lack of transparency is inconsistent with the provisions outlined in Law No. 14 of 2008, which governs the publication of public information in the country. The act of downplaying COVID-19 through the dissemination of information, along with the government's decision to withhold comprehensive data, and the prevailing skepticism toward scientific research might be characterized as efforts to impede citizens' access to precise knowledge.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PUBLIC INFORMATION OPENNESS AND ICT DEVELOPMENT

The relationship between Information and Communication Technology (ICT) development and the level of Public Information Openness (KIP) holds significant implications for inclusive and sustainable societal development. This study employs statistical analysis, including Pearson correlation, to examine this relationship across Indonesian provinces in 2022. Findings indicate a positive correlation between ICT development and KIP. Access to ICT infrastructure and ICT usage show significant correlations with IKIP levels across various provinces. Provinces with better ICT development generally exhibit higher KIP levels. However, the relationship with ICT skills is comparatively weaker, indicating other influencing factors on ICT literacy within the community. The conclusion drawn from this research is that ICT development positively contributes to enhancing Public Information Transparency in Indonesia. Therefore, further efforts are needed to support equitable ICT development, enhance digital literacy, and strengthen public information transparency, enabling the population to effectively harness information and communication technology

Measuring the Policy of Public Information Disclosure to Adapt Climate Change in Indonesia

Marginal groups, such as local communities living near forests, expansive coastal areas, and women with limited access to water and energy, are the most vulnerable to climate change. Numerous things can be done to overcome that issue, one of which is by openly distributing information regarding climate change adaptation action plans. This study proposes to elucidate that the NDC document serves as public information and to describe the interrelation between Public Information Disclosure and the optimal realization of Indonesia’s climate change action goals. This qualitative study was a doctrinal legal research and employed a statute and conceptual approaches. The findings demonstrate that the NDC document qualifies as public information, necessitating its continuous disclosure and accessibility. The transparency of public information regarding climate change is crucial for achieving climate justice and facilitating climate change adaptation.

Achieving Public Information Transparency in The Dissemination of Local Regulations

Comparing the disclosure of public information regarding the dissemination and publication to the public of newly enacted rules, setting Indonesia and the Netherlands as parameters is interesting as the legal cultures of both countries are intertwined and legal perspectives are constantly evolving. Despite differences in the rule of law, both countries have similar regulatory frameworks. This research uses a normative juridical writing method with a literature study to analyze the relationship between good governance and public information disclosure, including definitions, indicators, objectives, and important factors that influence the concept. The aim is to serve as a comparison parameter for a more efficient information disclosure mechanism. In Indonesia, the role of DPRDs is closely related to the issue of public information disclosure, as DPRDs have a dominant role in authority. Meanwhile, in the Netherlands, the local government takes the lead in setting regulations. Nonetheless, both countries emphasize the importance of checks and balances through the establishment of RvD and KIP, to oversee and integrate the aspirations of the community. The results of this study suggest that public information disclosure is important in both Indonesia and the Netherlands, as demonstrated by regulations that prioritize transparency, accountability, public participation, responsiveness, and the rule of law in governance. This commitment to openness aims to bridge the gap between public expectations and government actions. And in conclusion, the harmony between the process of forming regulations involving the DPRD as a representative of the people's voice and information disclosure is interrelated in public services towards the achievement of good governance.

Beauty Contest with Rationally Inattentive Agents

In the context of a beauty-contest coordination game, players choose how much costly attention to pay to public information. Introducing information costs based on rational inattention implies that, in the neighborhood of zero information costs, multiple equilibria can emerge in settings that without information costs would imply unique linear equilibrium. Agents have a coordination motive arising from strategic complementarity in their actions, which, in turn, implies coordinating on attention devoted to the public signal. This effect induces multiple equilibrium levels of attention at intermediate levels of transparency of public information (worth paying attention to if others do, but not worth paying attention to if others do not) for small enough information costs. Formally, the set of equilibria under rational inattention does not converge to the set of equilibria without information costs as the price of attention approaches zero. Quintessentially, small deviations from rationality can make significant differences to economic equilibria.

Evaluation of transparency of public information on Canadian mining projects in Ecuador

Transparency of public information in extractive industries is considered a way to counteract anti-democratic factors such as corruption and secrecy. It tends to provide public confidence in the authorities and facilitates the active participation of the citizens. In Ecuador, the Organic Law on Transparency and Access to Public Information requires, along with other laws, the publication of transparent information on aspects of public life, for instance, the exploitation of natural resources. Simultaneously, there are conflicts surrounding mining extractivism, partly due to the lack of information and participation related to these activities. How much public information do extractive companies offer about their mining projects in Ecuador? This study evaluated the levels of transparency of the digital information available on two Canadian mining projects: Curipamba and La Plata. Fifty-six indicators and evaluation criteria were developed and applied according to the national legal framework to the websites of the companies involved. As a main result, a high deficiency was found in terms of the entities’ compliance with the legal framework, with total values of 20% and 13% respectively, and web pages conceived more for shareholders and investors than for the affected people.
