INTRODUCTION
Public establishments in both developed and developing nations, including
Indonesia, constitute a significant portion of registered companies. As of now, the
Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) lists 759 public companies operating across various
sectors, such as manufacturing and finance. The IDX categorizes companies into two
primary segments: LQ45 and Kehati. LQ45 firms are distinguished by their high
liquidity, while Kehati comprises firms that prioritize Sustainable Responsible
Investment (SRI). The Kehati category consists of 45 companies that have
demonstrated good SRI performance based on financial and liquidity measurements.
The goal of the Kehati category is to provide investors with more options to select and
evaluate companies based on their future performance.
A company's aptitude to deliver positive growth is a key indicator of good
performance. Investors commonly use performance as a benchmark to evaluate
investment options and gauge the company's success (Matei et al., 2021). Conducting
an assessment of a company's performance is necessary to gain a current
understanding of its situation (Tania & Hesniati, 2022). Indicators of profitability, such
as Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE), can be utilized as a
performance metric. ROA evaluates the skillfulness of management in producing
profits, while ROE assesses the company's performance and management's capacity
to deliver benefits to its shareholders (Darmawan, 2020).
Evaluating a company's performance involves assessing its CSR and corporate
governance, which directly impacts public trust (Sisca et al., 2022). CSR is essential for
meeting social obligations towards employees, the government, consumers, the
environment, and society. Neglecting CSR impedes growth, making it a mandatory
requirement for efficient operations. The journey toward CSR can significantly influence
a company's performance. Siregar & Safitri (2019) outlined three principles for CSR
conducted by Gonçalves et al. (2021); Kuo et al. (2021); Okafor et al. (2021); Singh et
al. (2021); and Thuy et al. (2021), collectively demonstrate that CSR positively
influences company performance, making it an essential aspect of business growth,
performance measurement, and mandatory for all companies engaged in any activity.
Ahmed et al. (2019) and Kyere & Ausloos (2021) highlight that board size (BS)
significantly positively impacts a company’s performance. BS denotes the board size of
a company, which refers to the number of individuals serving on it, which is typically
disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The board of directors plays a crucial
role in influencing the company's success by ensuring that the company complies with
relevant laws and regulations, as well as by prohibiting directors who have been
declared bankrupt from causing financial harm to the company due to potential criminal
penalties.
The study conducted by Uyar et al. (2021) revealed a direct correlation between
BI and the performance of the company. Board independence pertains to members of
the board of commissioners who have no prior association or involvement with the
organization. Meanwhile, directors with shares in the company align their interests with
shareholders to raise the level of performance for the company. The primary function of
board independence is to manage and enhance the quality of financial reporting,
resulting in relevant values and enhanced company performance. Therefore, board
independence has an impact on the company's performance (Fourati & Dammak,
2021).
The academic research completed by Harymawan et al. (2020) and Hidayat et al.
(2022) demonstrates that the NRC has a notable influence on company performance.
This committee provides oversight and advice in the establishment of fair policies and
rules for decision-making when implementing new policies. The committee's operations
are governed by rules set out in POJK Number 24/POJK.04/2014, and it is believed
that these regulations enable the committee to positively influence company
performance.
METHODS
The study was carried out on companies that were enlisted on the IDX, ESG
QUALITY, with a total of 45 companies being selected. The purposive sampling
technique was employed in the research, whereby the predetermined criteria were
outlined in Table 1, and served as a guide for the researchers in selecting the most
relevant and appropriate companies to include in the study.

This research employs secondary data, which refers to data that has already
been analyzed and made publicly available by other researchers (Qadri et al., 2022).
However, it is essential to ensure that the data are reliable, relevant, and appropriate
for the research being investigated. Thus, this study used data from annual and
sustainability reports of selected companies from 2017 to 2021, which are commonly
used sources of data in studies related to CSR and corporate governance and can be
found on the IDX website.

Based on the theoretical framework presented in Figure 1, the hypothesis for the
study was formulated as follows:
H1: Corporate social responsibility significantly impacts firm performance.
H2: Board size significantly impacts firm performance.
H3: Board independence significantly impacts firm performance.
H4: Nomination and remuneration committee significantly impacts firm performance.
The data gathered for this research is classified as panel data, as it comprises
both cross-sectional and time-series data. Therefore, the E-Views software will be
utilized to test and analyze the hypotheses. The following equation model was utilized
in this study:

Table 3 presents various outcomes derived from the sample data. Firstly, it
reveals that the CSR variable has a narrow distribution with a standard deviation of
0,12252. The values range from 0,19800 to 0,80200, with an average of 0,50823. The
BS variable exhibits limited variability, evidenced by its small standard deviation of
1,94795, and an average of 6,57561, with values ranging from 4,00000 to 12,00000.
The BI variable, on the other hand, shows a high degree of variability, as indicated by
the standard deviation of 0,76619. The average value of BI is 0,58537, with a minimum
value of 0,00000 and a maximum value of 3,00000. In addition, the NR variable
exhibits low variability, with a small standard deviation of 1,09540, and an average of
3,39024. Its values range from 1,00000 to 7,00000. The variable of FS, which serves
as a control in the study, demonstrates a maximum value of 34,74444 and a minimum
value of 28,78102. The relatively low standard deviation of 1,42900 implies that the
selected companies possess assets of relatively small average sizes. Likewise, the
leverage control variable has a standard deviation of 0.23717, with a maximum and
minimum value of 0.88972 and 0.08306, respectively, indicating homogeneity or less
variability of data around the mean value. Table 3 also shows that the sampled Kehati
companies have an average ROA of 0,05390 or 5.39% and an average ROE of
0,10783 or 10.783%. These average values of ROA and ROE indicate that Kehati
companies are moderately profitable, with a relatively stable financial performance.
However, it is crucial to carry out several tests such as the Hausman tests and
Chow tests to ascertain the optimal model that corresponds to the research data, and
to ensure the accuracy and inclusiveness of research findings.
Table 4 displays the outcomes of the redundant fixed effect test that explores the
effects of the variables analyzed in the study. The objective of this test was to identify
the regression model that most effectively explains the connection between the
common effect model (CEM) and the fixed effect model (FEM). The results show that
the probabilities associated with the interrelation between CSR and corporate
governance on ROA and ROE are statistically significant because the probability is
0.0000, which is below the significance level α (α = 0.05). The next table, Table 5, will
feature the results of the Hausman test.
The results of the Hausman test, as shown in Table 5, suggest that the
probabilities associated with the impact of CSR and corporate governance on ROA
(0,519) and ROE (0,427) exceed the significance level α (α = 0.05). As all probability
values displayed in Table 5 are greater than α (α = 0.05), the random effect model
(REM) has been deemed the more favorable model. Therefore, to determine which
model is more effective between the CEM and REM, the Lagrange multiplier test will be
displayed in Table 6.
Table 6 features the results of the Lagrange Multiplier test, which can be utilized
to establish whether the CEM or REM is more suitable for the study. If the cross-
section value of Breusch-Pagan exceeds α (α = 0.05), then CEM can be considered.
Conversely, if the value falls below α (α = 0.05), REM may be more suitable. Since all
values in Table 6 are below α (α = 0.05), REM is the preferred model to use. The
findings of the regression test employing REM are shown in Table 7.
The outcomes of the regression analysis in Table 7 indicate that CSR has a
significantly adverse impact on firm performance, as measured by ROE. This is
supported by the probability value of 0,0059, which is below 0,05, and a coefficient of -
2,78551. In contrast, the effect of CSR on firm performance, as measured by ROA,
was found to be not statistically significant as it has a probability value greater than
0,05, specifically 0,2282, and a coefficient of -1,20876. The study's results demonstrate
that there is no significant relationship between corporate governance, as measured by
BS, BI, and NRC, and firm performance, as measured by both ROA and ROE.
Furthermore, the study demonstrates that including FS, as a control variable does not
have a statistically significant effect on firm performance, as measured by ROA or
ROE, as evidenced by its probability values of 0,9382 and 0,7578, respectively, both
exceeding 0,05. Conversely, the second control variable, leverage, has a significant
negative correlation on ROA, with a probability value of 0,000 and a coefficient of -
5,67989, while not affecting ROE.
implementation of CSR can be costly and divert funds from other business purposes,
resulting in short-term negative effects on financial performance. Additionally, CSR
programs are seen as a social responsibility rather than a direct driver of financial
performance. This finding aligns with the study conducted by Benali et al. (2021), Matei
et al. (2021), and Nzuki & Opuodho (2022). Conversely, the firm's performance
measured by ROE can be negatively influenced by CSR. The higher costs associated
with CSR implementation, which can surpass regular operational expenses, can lead to
a decline in the company's performance, indicating that CSR has an adverse effect on
company performance. This study supports the findings of previous research
conducted by Lee and Yang (2021), Ratajczak (2021), and Zhou et al. (2021) but
contradicts the study by Sharma et al. (2021).
CONCLUSION
Based on the evidence presented in this study indicates that the corporate
governance components of board size, board independence, and nomination and
remuneration do not have a considerable significance for the financial performance of a
company, as gauged by ROA and ROE. However, one key finding of this study is that
while there is no significant correlation between CSR and ROA, a significant negative
relationship exists between CSR and ROE, suggesting that CSR can have an impact
on a company's financial performance as measured by these indicators. In terms of
control variables, the study found no significant association between firm size on ROA
and ROE, while leverage is significantly and negatively associated with the financial
performance of a company, as measured by both ROA and ROE. These results
underscore the potential influence of CSR and corporate governance on a company's
performance.
