Samples of this study are being chosen by using purposive sampling method; which obtained 22 manufacturing companies, that published their annual financial reports and sustainability reports during the observation period and disclose their carbon emissions. The data used are secondary data from Indonesia Stock Exchange. The analysis technique used is multiple linear regression analysis. The research results proved that the regulator has an effect on carbon emission disclosure, company size influences carbon emission disclosure, and profitability affects carbon emission disclosure, while institutional ownership does not affect carbon emission disclosure.
