In the long run, sustainable business will be an important factor in determining the existence of companies. The study employs sustainability report disclosure (SR) as a proxy of sustainable business. LQ45 companies that have a sound financial performance, have enough resources to implement sustainable business. This research attempts to identify the antecedents of SR disclosure among LQ45 companies. The population of this research is all LQ45 companies which publish financial statements in three consecutive years. By using a purposive sampling, this research collects 135 data sources for further analysis. The average of SR disclosure is 16 per cent, with environmental performance achieving 1.3 out of a five-point scale. SR is significantly influenced by environmental performance and the board of directors (BoD). Leveraged negatively, while profitability is positive, influences the environmental performance. The BoDs' concern on environmental performance, sustainable business, and leverage management still needs improving. Government and other related parties should facilitate these companies to implement better sustainable business. © 2020 Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
