Purposive sampling is used as a sampling method, there are 61 companies as the research sample and 122 units of analysis to be used in this study. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to test the effect between variables. The data analysis technique used descriptive statistical analysis techniques and inferential statistical analysis techniques. The research showed that company size has a significant positive effect on environmental disclosure. Similar results are found in the leverage and the type of auditor who find a significant positive effect on environmental disclosure. Meanwhile, type of industry, women directors and managerial ownership do not have a significant effect on environmental disclosure. Based on the research results, the selection of big four KAP as a company auditor can improve environmental disclosure reporting, this is because the quality of the audited report has high credibility and requires companies to be able to report environmental disclosure in their business reports. Large companies get more attention by the public because of their credibility and reputation.
