Previously at the 2020 ASRA, Pertamina also won a Bronze Award for the Asia's Best SDG Reporting category and was a finalist in two other categories, namely Asia's Best Community Reporting and Asia's Best Sustainability Report Digital for the 2019 Sustainability Report.

ASRA is an annual event organized by CSRWorks, an independent international sustainability agency in Singapore. This year, there were 585 entries from 14 countries included in 17 categories, and only 73 companies from 14 countries made it to the final.
