Jakarta. Islamic lender Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) has achieved a major milestone on the international stage. According to the latest Bloomberg data, BSI earned the highest score and ranked first in the Global Islamic Banking ESG rating.

BSI’s ESG score rises to 5.56 from 3.86, marking a major improvement in sustainability performance. This score places BSI above the global Islamic banking industry average and puts it in the “LEADING” category, surpassing other global Islamic banks.

BSI Deputy Director Bob Tyasika Ananta said this achievement was driven by the company's strengthened disclosure of its financing policies that support sustainability. 

As of the third quarter of 2025, BSI reported sustainable financing of Rp 73.6 trillion, or 24.33% of its total portfolio, highlighting its commitment to the green economy, social initiatives, and MSMEs.

"This increase in ESG score is clear evidence of our commitment to promoting financing that supports sustainability," Bob said in a statement. 

Bob added that transparency is key to global investor confidence. Therefore, BSI proactively discloses its sustainability performance data through a special ESG landing page on the company's official website, making it easier for investors and stakeholders to monitor the company's carbon footprint and socio-environmental impact.

"With this latest score, BSI has strengthened its position, achieving the top Bloomberg ESG ranking in the global Islamic banking category," he said.

"This achievement proves that Indonesian Islamic banking is not only competitive, but also capable of becoming a market leader in sustainability issues at the international level in line with global standards," he added.

BSI is committed to continuing to increase the portion of green financing and maintaining good corporate governance (GCG) to support the government's target of achieving Net Zero Emissions, while providing added value to all customers and investors.
