Abstract

This research aims to analyze the implementation of green accounting in utility companies in Indonesia, specifically through a case study of PT PLN (Persero). The objective is to enhance understanding of how utility firms can incorporate environmental considerations into their financial reporting and decision-making processes. Utilizing a qualitative case study methodology, data was collected through interviews and analyzed thematically. The findings indicate that PT PLN has successfully adopted green accounting practices, progressing through the stages of environmental awareness, involvement, and reporting. This implementation serves to uphold the company’s legitimacy within society by addressing pragmatic, normative, and cognitive aspects, despite its status as a monopolistic electricity provider. PT PLN emphasizes its environmental and social responsibilities while prioritizing customer satisfaction. The implications of this study suggest that adopting green accounting can significantly enhance PT PLN’s commitment to environmental issues, fostering a more sustainable strategy and improving its public image as a contributor to environmentally friendly industrial policies.
