CSR disclosure level measured by using sustainability reporting criteria guidelines of Global Reporting Initiatives. Information asymmetry measured by bid-ask spreads. Control variables used in this research were financial disclosure and firm age.  This research was carried out on go public companies in Indonesia which published sustainability report and listed in GRI’s database with a sample of 109 observations. The results of this research asserted that CSR disclosure level has positive and significant affect on information asymmetry.
