Text Mining Analysis of Sustainability Reports in Indonesia Fast Moving Consumer Goods (fmcg) Companies

Claudia Achmad

ABSTRACT:

Due to the growing focus on sustainability issues, companies transparently communicate the measurement, disclosure, and accountability of their sustainability activities through annual reports, sustainability reports, or environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reports. This study aims to develop a model for mapping the main topics discussed in the sustainability reports of FMCG companies. The approach used in this study is text mining with Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling to identify hidden topics in sustainability reports. Then, the identified topics were examined and mapped to environmental, social, and governance aspects to understand sustainability reporting patterns among FMCG companies in Indonesia. The stages performed in this study include text extraction, text preprocessing, and topic modeling based on LDA. In the study, the data consists of 100 sustainability reports from 25 FMCG companies in Indonesia. Results of the study identified five main topics in the sustainability reports of FMCG companies. These topics include sustainable procurement and environmental conservation; employee health and safety; social inclusion and labor issues; business ethics and environmental impact management; labor relations and corporate integrity. The ESG mapping results indicate that these topics reflect the integration of environmental, social, and governance aspects in the sustainability disclosures of FMCG companies. The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of sustainability reporting patterns of FMCG companies in Indonesia and suggest the usefulness of text mining approaches based on LDA in identifying the main topics in sustainability reports.
