INTRODUCTION

Humans are creatures who have the ability to be able to find and complete the necessities

of life in order to maintain survival and realize prosperity. Humans and the environment are

inseparable units in life on this earth. To realize this welfare, humans are given perfect reason

and mind in making decisions that are considered to have a very large influence on themselves

as well as on the entire community and the environment. The ability of human mind to create

various kinds of technologies that are used to explore various available natural resources to

increase the prosperity of their lives (Efendi, 2014). Human efforts in exploring and creating

technology to benefit from natural resources will have an impact or problem on the

environment. Environmental problems mainly arise from two main groups of human activities,

namely the use of natural resources at an unsustainable level and environmental pollution

through pollution and waste disposal that exceeds the capacity level.

The impact of environmental management must be analyzed from the beginning of

planning so that measures to control negative impacts and develop positive impacts can be

prepared as early as possible. Environmental issues can be grouped into three forms, namely

environmental pollution, land misuse, and natural resources depletion (Rahmadi, 2013).

Environmental problems that are diverse and harmful to the environment and humans must be

regulated through legal rules that are binding on all parties involved in environmental

management.

Indonesia has formal legal sources. The definition of formal legal sources is a source of

law that is seen from the way in which positive law occurs and is a fact that gives rise to

applicable law that binds judges and residents, its contents arise from people's awareness so

that it can be in the form of regulations on behavior that must be stated in the form of laws,

customs and regulations. treaties or agreements between countries (Soeroso, 2011). Everyone

has the right to a good and healthy environment, on the other hand, everyone also has an

obligation to protect the environment, including preventing and overcoming environmental

destruction. One of the goals of the Republic of Indonesia contained in the Preamble to the

1945 Constitution is to promote public welfare. In order to promote public welfare, one of the

efforts made is to manage natural resources and utilize the environment.

Given the existence of the environment is very important for human life, then its

sustainability must be maintained and protected. Humans must live in harmony with their

environment so that humans can enjoy their lives properly and properly (Soeroso, 2011). One

of the instruments in the UUPPLH is environmental management efforts and environmental

monitoring efforts (UKL-UPL) in Article 1 paragraph (12) of UUPPLH it is stated that UKL-

UPL is an effort to manage the environment and monitor the environment, which in turn

referred to as UKL-UPL, is the management and monitoring of businesses and/or activities that

do not have a significant impact on the environment which is required for the decision-making

process regarding the operation of businesses and/or activities. Based on the understanding of

the article, UKL-UPL is one of the instruments that regulate the issuance of permits for

activities to be carried out by the organizers of business activities.

One of the issues or cases that occurred in West Sumatra is the allegation of the waste

disposal carried out by PT. Japfa's Padang Branch Office, which is located in the Kayu Planting

District, one of the media reported that PT. Japfa Padang Branch Office disposed of its

industrial waste not in accordance with regulations so that NGOs, BPI, and DPRD Padang

Pariaman conducted a field review. It started with community reports to the NGO Independent

Investigation Agency and DPRD Padang Pariaman were around the JAPFA factory, they

complained about the discharge of waste into the river and the community felt itchy. In the

investigation of the NGO BPI who led the field review, Maryono questioned the safe quality

of the wastewater discharged into the river and the location of the Japfa factory is not only here

and is spread over three locations in Padang Pariaman (Spirit Sumbar, 2020).

UKL-UPL

Article 1 paragraph (12) UUPPLH states that UKL-UPL is an effort to manage the

environment and an effort to monitor the environment, hereinafter referred to as UKL-UPL, is

the management and monitoring of businesses and/or activities that have no significant impact

on the environment. The environment required for the decision-making process regarding the

operation of businesses and/or activities. The government regulates further provisions on UKL-

UPL through Government Regulation no. 27 of 2012 concerning Environmental Permits. In

Article 1 paragraph (1) Government Regulation no. 27 of 2012 states that an Environmental

Permit is a permit granted to any person undertaking a business and/or activity for which EIA

or UKL-UPL is required in the context of environmental protection and management as a

prerequisite for obtaining a business and/or activity permit.”

Sustainable Development Sustainable

Development is a perspective on activities carried out in a systematic and planned manner

within the framework of improving the welfare, quality of life, and the environment for

mankind without reducing access and opportunities for future generations to enjoy and utilize

them. In UUPPLH sustainable development is defined as a conscious and planned effort that

integrates environmental, social, and economic aspects into a development strategy to ensure

environmental integrity, safety, capability, welfare, and quality of life for current and future

generations. According to Mukhtasor (2008), indicators are needed to assess the success of

sustainable development, namely the sufficiency of the current and future generations' natural

resource needs, maintaining harmony between development and the environment, development

is carried out by maintaining and improving environmental quality, the existence of social

equality that ensures the sustainability of the moral, social and physical environment, and

changes political behavior and habits by increasing participation (Mukhtasor, 2008).

Theory of Sustainable Development

In 1987, WCED defined sustainable development as "development that meets the needs of

the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs".

According to the Commission's explanation, the above definition contains two elements:

elements of needs and elements of limitations. Regarding the element of need, the Commission

considers that these needs are primarily the needs of the poor, which must be a priority in efforts

to fulfill needs. As for the element of limitation, the Commission defines it as the limited

capacity of the environment, created by technological conditions and social organization, to

meet the needs of present and future generations (UN, 2020). Sustainable development

(Sustainable Development) is a strategy for the utilization of natural ecosystems and the

environment in a way that has been arranged such that it can provide benefits to human life for

the present and the future.

Seeing the importance of sustainable development for human life, the theory of sustainable

development becomes the basis for conducting research, where a theoretical basis is needed to

regulate environmental management so that sustainable development can be realized. One of

the instruments related to sustainable development is the existence of UKL-UPL which is the

basis for parties engaged in environmental and natural resource management to participate in

realizing sustainable development. UKL-UPL becomes an instrument for the prevention of

environmental management activities, related to monitoring efforts, UKL-UPL becomes the

basis for parties who carry out environmental management activities.

METHOD

In this research, the approach carried normative juridical problem, a study of the principles

of law, the legal systematics level of synchronization of law, legal history, and comparative

law (Soekanto, 2005). In terms of the nature of this research is descriptive. The research data

was obtained from Field Research, namely research conducted in the field, namely at PT.

JAPFA COMFEED INDONESIA, Tbk PADANG BRANCH OFFICE.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

UKL-UPL Function For PT. PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk Padang Branch Office

in Realizing Sustainable Development?

PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk, which is located in the Padang Industrial Park, Batang

Anai District, Kab. Padang Pariaman runs a chicken feed production business. The location of

the factory which is in an industrial area and already has an AMDAL area makes it easier for

PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk to obtain a permit because the Company is required to

complete the UKL-UPL Document. Environmental management efforts and environmental

monitoring efforts or UKL-UPL are environmental management tools that are used as

guidelines in decision making and the basis for issuing permits to conduct business activities.

The UKL-UPL document is made in the planning phase of the construction of a factory or

place of business and is a requirement to complete and obtain permits. UKL-UPL is required

for businesses and or activities that have been running but do not yet have a license. UKL-UPL

is made for projects whose environmental impacts can be overcome by the category of

businesses whose control scale is small and not complex. In order to realize sustainable

development UKL-UPL has a very important role for PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk. The

running of business activities will have an impact on natural resources and the environment,

this cannot be prevented but can be minimized so that the negative impacts that arise can be

mitigated from the start before business activities are carried out. UKL-UPL becomes a

reference and guideline for companies in carrying out business activities, where the

environment is the most important element for the continuation of the company's operations

(Syukur, 2020).

PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk understands that environmental preservation is one of

the important obligations of the company because it will provide benefits to the quality of life

of all stakeholders, such as customers, employees, shareholders, to the community around the

business location. In every activity and operational activity, PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk

implements good production practices and corporate management with recognized standards

of appropriateness and pays full attention to the preservation of nature and the sustainability of

natural resources. Compliance and concern for PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk towards

environmental protection and management is reflected in the Company's success in winning

several Blue Proper awards. The area that won the Blue Proper award for the Poultry Division

for the Animal Feed Unit is located in Padang, this Blue Proper award from the Ministry of

Environment and Forestry proves the commitment and dedication of PT. Japfa in preserving

the environment at the business location (PT Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk, 2019).

Through Article 27 paragraph (3) letter b Regulation of the Minister of Environment and

Forestry No.P.26/MEN/LHK/SETJEN/KUM.1/7/2018 regulates environmental feasibility

with criteria for conformity with business plans and/or activities with policies in the field of

protection and management of the environment and natural resources regulated by other laws

and regulations. In order to carry out business activities related to environmental management

and utilization of natural resources, various efforts are needed to realize development and

business strategies so that environmental management runs in accordance with what has been

recommended by government agencies and added by companies with various efforts to create

a sustainable environment. healthy and safe for stakeholders. Business actors are also required

to be able to innovate, one form of innovation carried out by PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia,

Tbk, among others, by allocating some land for green open space, revegetation, and

constructing infiltration wells or biopori in vacant land around the company. Through the

Sustainable Report 2019PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk is committed to the

implementation of CSR programs and sustainable development, one of which is realized by the

establishment of the Social Investment Department in 2017. The Social Investment Department

is a tangible manifestation of the Company's commitment to investing in the social sector. This

department is responsible for all of the Company's CSR activities, from planning programs,

monitoring to evaluating activities that have been carried out. The Company has a high

commitment to aligning operational activities with environmental sustainability. PT. Japfa

Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk always ensures that every activity as much as possible can have a

positive impact on the environment, especially in achieving sustainable development goals,

which is realized through the Company's participation in environmental sustainability

activities. PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk has the policy to be serious about realizing an

environmentally friendly livestock industry. All operational activities carried out always

comply with the provisions of the laws and regulations governing environmental protection

and management so that negative impacts on the environment can be minimized (PT Japfa

Comfeed Indonesia, 2019). Obligations for business fields and/or activities that are not required

to have an AMDAL are required to have UKL-UPL, this provision is regulated by Article 34

of the UUPPLH and is one of the requirements for obtaining a permit to carry out

environmental management activities in an effort to preserve the environmental carrying

capacity of PT Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk. PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk which

produces chicken feed is located in Padang Industrial Park, Nagari Batang Anai, Padang

Pariaman Regency, the preparation of the UKL-UPL for the factory is targeted to the Regional

Regulation of the Province of West Sumatra No. 14 of 2012 concerning Environmental

Protection and Management and the Regent's Regulation Padang Pariaman No. 47 of 2015

concerning Types of Business Plans or Activities Required to be completed with UKL-UPL.

In 2019 PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk launched a sustainability platform, namely

Japfa Sustainability Reporting System (JSRS), This system allows validation and allows

traceability of data used for sustainability reports, this system was fully implemented

throughout Indonesia in 2019. This Sustainability Report was written with the aim of

communicating public and internal audits and evaluations. PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk

uses the term “Japfa Poultry” to refer to all poultry operations and supporting business units

related to the company's poultry operations. PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk has a

Sustainability Pillar which aims to achieve sustainable consumption and production through

efficient use of resources and minimization of waste and emissions, in line with SDGs Target

12, which is to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. In the 2019 reporting

period, PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk is committed to moving forward towards

sustainability by starting a study in Life Cycle Assessment order to better understand the

environmental impact of products and production processes and to implement better

environmental management (PT Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, n.d). The goal is to achieve higher

operational efficiency and efforts to produce affordable protein in a sustainable manner through

good environmental management practices (PT Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, n.d). In carrying out

business and production activities at the PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk The Padang branch

office uses UKL-UPL as the basis for obtaining Environmental Permits and becomes a

reference in environmental management in the production area of PT. Japfa Comfeed

Indonesia, Tbk Padang Branch Office. UKL-UPL becomes a guideline or basic reference in

environmental management and monitoring of every implementation of the construction of the

factory and operational activities of PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk Padang branch office

for the smooth running of the company's activities in the future so that sustainable development

can be realized and the continuity of the Company's business will continue in the future

(Syukur, 2020). UKL-UPL became the basis for PT. JAPFA COMFEED INDONESIA, Tbk

PADANG BRANCH OFFICE to address the following:

The Company's Operational Impacts and Risks

Production activities of PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk is in direct contact with the

environment which can have an impact, either directly or indirectly. PT. Japfa Comfeed

Indonesia, Tbk has conducted an assessment of the impact that will be generated from the

Company's operations on the environment, in the context of carrying out the sustainable

development of PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk has made various mitigation efforts. The

impact of the Company's operations, both directly and indirectly, consists of:

1) Direct Impacts & Risks

a) Air Pollution: Air pollution resulting from the production activities of PT. Japfa

Comfeed Indonesia Tbk is air pollution from machines used for production

activities. Efforts are being made by planting trees and routinely checking the

engine and engine exhaust channels and the Company routinely conducting air

quality testing;

b) Water pollution: Animal feed factory production activities that produce liquid waste

will cause pollution to groundwater and rivers around the factory location.

Prevention efforts are carried out by the Company by building a Waste Water

Treatment Plant (WWTP) so that the liquid waste can meet the required

environmental quality standards. WWTP at PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk

Padang's Unit is used to treat waste from boiler blowdown and laboratory

wastewater so that when released into the environment it does not pollute the

receiving water body. Efforts to prevent contamination of groundwater and river

water near the factory site are carried out by treating wastewater using WWTP so

that the wastewater produced does not damage the presence of water in the

environment around the factory. The existence of the IPAL is a solution to reports

from the community and NGOs which say that the production plant of PT. Japfa

Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk disposes of the waste directly into the Batang Anai river

which is around the factory site;

c) Soil pollution: The possibility of spilling oil, chemicals in the area of the company

that carries out production activities using machines as production tools is feared to

have an impact on soil pollution. Efforts to overcome soil pollution by providing

temporary storage places (TPS) for hazardous and toxic waste (LB3), providing

Spill Kits (such as sawdust and sand);

Comfeed Indonesia

691 Interdisciplinary Social Studies, 1(6), Mar 2022

d) Increased noise: The use of machines that produce high noise intensity for

production activities, to overcome these problems workers and people who are in

the factory environment and near factory machines are required to use

earplugs/earmuffs and periodically conduct sound intensity testing or noise in the

work area.

2) Indirect Impacts & Risks

a) Operational activities that use a lot of paper cause the depletion of natural resources,

the company's steps to prevent the depletion of natural resources are to use paper

efficiently and reuse used paper;

b) The use of fossil fuels for the operation of machines in production plants causes the

depletion of natural resources, efforts to reduce the use of fossil fuels are to use

renewable fuels (such as palm oil shells and candlenut shells);

c) The use of water for the Company's production and operational activities causes the

depletion of water resources. The steps taken by the Company to prevent this impact

are by making biopore infiltration holes, making water infiltration ponds, and water

use efficiency;

d) Carbon dioxide emissions that cause an increase in greenhouse gases, the

Company's efforts to reduce these emissions are by planting trees in the Company's

area; and

e) Electrical energy used for the Company's operational activities causes a waste of

electrical energy, the Company adopts a policy of saving energy use and regularly

conducts energy audits (Riza, 2021).

PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk makes efforts to identify, predict and control as well as

minimize the negative impacts that will arise as a result of development and operational

activities through UKL-UPL and have conducted studies on the environmental impacts that

occur.

Environmental Management and Monitoring Management Environmental

1) Environmental Monitoring

a) Monitoring Techniques: Monitoring was carried out by observing the environment

in accordance with the regional AMDAL and UKL-UPL documents that have been

reported by PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk, and interviewed the surrounding

community regarding the perception of the activities to be carried out. The

Department of Environment, Housing, Housing and Land, Padang Pariaman

Regency (DLHPKPP) conducted monitoring by visiting the location of the PT.

Japfa Padang Branch Office (Riza, 2021);

b) Monitoring Location: Factory Area PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk Padang

Branch Office around the Padang Industrial Park area, Batang Anai District, Padang

Pariaman Regency; and

c) Monitoring Period: Once in 6 months according to the UKL-UPL reporting period

to the relevant Government Service/Agency, in this case, is carried out by the

Housing Environment Agency for Housing and Land Areas (DLHPKPP) of Padang

Pariaman Regency. This is done by visiting and conducting regular monitoring.

with an unspecified time, so that during a visit the environmental inspector can see

the conditions on the ground (Riza, 2021).

2) Environmental Management

a) Carrying out business activities based on UKL-UPL and company internal

regulations to implement SOPs and health, safety and welfare (K3) systems;

b) Maintain cleanliness and sterilization of transport or trucks carrying raw materials

or goods from outside so as not to cause impact or pollution at the factory site;

c) Waste treatment through WWTP at the PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk is used

to treat waste from boiler blowdown and laboratory wastewater;

d) Use of biomass fuel derived from oil palm shells, candlenut shells, palm fiber, and

firewood. PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk strives to use renewable energy

sources and improve efficiency in energy use; and

e) Maintenance of production machines in order to remain energy-efficient and

environmentally friendly is carried out regularly so that the emissions produced are

always environmentally friendly and reduce the impact that produces Carbon

dioxide gas (CO2) (Syukur, 2020).

Results of Environmental Monitoring and Efforts to Realize Sustainable Development

The monitoring carried out by the Company is guided by the laws and regulations which

are also applied in accordance with the Company's Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). The

Company stated that there was no pollution or environmental damage caused by the Company's

production activities. This is indicated by the quality of air and water that is always maintained

by PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk PADANG BRANCH OFFICE also regularly monitors

air emissions resulting from production processes, such as boilers, generators, and drying

furnaces. The community around the factory location has no objection to the Company's

activities. The reporting process on company activities is adjusted to the needs of government

agencies, namely DLHPKPP, Padang Pariaman Regency. carried out with environmental

observations that have been carried out in accordance with the regional AMDAL and UKL-

UPL documents that have been reported by PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk, interviewed

the surrounding community regarding the perception of the activities to be carried out (Syukur,

2020).

In terms of monitoring carried out by the Environmental Supervisor DLHPKPP, Padang

Pariaman Regency, the company has reported according to the specified schedule, which is

once in six months, based on the monitoring carried out by the Environmental Supervisor there

was no pollution or damage carried out by PT. Japfa. In addition to managing and monitoring

the environment in the PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia Tbk Padang Branch Office also plays a

role in realizing sustainable development by providing trash containers/bins to the Padang

Pariaman Regency government in maintaining cleanliness and sustainable development in

Padang Pariaman Regency (Riza, 2021).

UKL-UPL acts as a reference for assessing the environmental feasibility of the factory

construction activities and the running of PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk Padang Branch

Office, and as a guideline for relevant government agencies in evaluating environmental

management and monitoring that has been carried out by PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk

as the initiator. In running and developing the business activities of PT. Japfa Comfeed

Indonesia, Tbk seeks to implement sustainable development efforts, by implementing a

Comfeed Indonesia

693 Interdisciplinary Social Studies, 1(6), Mar 2022

vertically integrated operating system that can cover the entire poultry business chain

consisting of poultry feed production, day-old chick breeding (DOC), chicken farms broiler

commercial, and primary processing.

The Role of UKL-UPL for the Community in Realizing Sustainable Development

UKL-UPL is information for the community to be able to take advantage of the positive

use values and avoid the negative impacts of the plan from the start of the construction phase

until the stage of the Company's business activities. The existence of PT. Japfa Comfeed

Indonesia, Tbk in the Padang Industrial Park area, has minimized the negative impact on the

environment and society. The negative impacts arising from the company's activities are the

presence of liquid waste generated from the activities of the chicken feed production plant,

noise from engine noise, and air pollution from factory machines that operate for 24 hours

(Syukur, 2020). The company's obligation is to notify the government and society of the impact

of laws and regulations, the role in realizing sustainable development to protect the

environment so that companies can continue to carry out sustainable production activities and

a series of permits to launch business activities.

In the context of implementing Article 53 UUPPLH PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk in

carrying out environmental management has compiled and created a program to maintain and

manage the environment of the business location. One form of environmental management is

realized through making buildings according to the technical recommendations suggested by

the relevant agencies, such as the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Construction of WWTPs at the

PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk is intended so that the wastewater generated from factory

activities does not pollute the environment around the factory. Environmental conditions at the

PT. Japfa there is no pollution and environmental damage, this shows the UKL-UPL concept

made by the company is in accordance with the business activities of PT. Japfa Comfeed

Indonesia, Tbk Padang Branch Office as well as the reporting schedule and the results of the

inspection carried out by DLHPKPP showed no environmental pollution (Riza, 2021). If there

is direct disposal of wastewater without processing it first, the Government may impose

administrative sanctions in the form of closing the waste disposal site or emissions so that the

company's activities cannot be carried out.

Seeing the role of UKL-UPL for PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk as well as stakeholders

other, show that the use-value or benefits of UKL-UPL provide convenience for the company

in managing the environment and making plans for business activities, and reporting on

company activities to the Government. Theory Utility (use-value) is a theory presented by

Jeremy Bentham which is oriented to use value or benefits. This theory is actually a limited

application of the basic ethical principle of utilitarianism which states that an action can be

morally justified only to the extent that the consequences are good for as many people as

possible (Teichmann, 2021). Utilities are used as the basis for human decision-making to obtain

the expected benefits. This decision was taken by considering and distinguishing as clearly as

possible between a definite profit and loss and an uncertain profit and loss, where uncertainty

is a risk that must be faced (Sugianto, 2013).

What Efforts Should be made by PT. JAPFA COMFEED INDONESIA Tbk Padang

Branch Office in Realizing Sustainable Development?

Implementation of Sustainable development goals (SDG's)

The sustainable development goals known as the sustainable development goals (SDGs)

are expected to continue to support sustainable development so that the Company can run its

business in a sustainable manner and the environment is maintained so that the resources

needed by the Company can be met in a sustainable manner. Sustainable development goals

(SDG's) are the implementation of social investment programs carried out by the company. to

support the achievement of SDG's. With the theme "Changing Our World, the 2030 Agenda

for Sustainable Development", the SDGs have 17 Goals and 169 Targets which are a global

action plan for the next 15 years (effective from 2016 to 2030), to end poverty, reduce

inequality and protect the environment. The SDGs apply to all countries (universally) so that

all countries without the exception of developed countries have a moral obligation to achieve

the Goals and Targets of the SDGs.

SDGs are manner designed in a participatory. Different from its predecessor the

Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the SDGs are designed to involve all development

actors, be it the Government, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), the private sector, academia,

and so on. Approximately 8.5 million citizens' voices around the world also contribute to the

Goals and Targets of the SDGs. Not Leaving One Person is the main principle of the

BehindSDGs with this principle at least the SDGs must be able to answer two things, namely,

Procedural Justice, namely the extent to which all parties, especially those who have been left

behind, can be involved in the whole development process and substantial justice, namely the

extent to which development policies and programs can or able to answer the problems of

citizens, especially disadvantaged groups (SDG Indonesia). Sustainable development goals are

regulated in Presidential Regulation no. 59 of 2017 concerning the Implementation of the

Achievement of Sustainable Development Goals, the Presidential Regulation contains global

goals and targets for 2016 to 2030. PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk is expected to be able

to realize the sustainable development goals that have been set by the government so that the

overall sustainability of the Company and the environment can run and continue to provide

sustainable results.

The Utilization of Natural Resources that Refer to Sustainable Development

The growth in industries that adopt the principles of sustainable development has changed

the way a product or service is marketed as well as a company's operations are managed. The

company faces the challenge of moving from conventional management to sustainable

development which is defined as a business strategy to meet the needs of the company's

stakeholders without compromising the resources and interests of local communities and to

achieve sustainability in the long term. In order to achieve sustainable development, a business

must be managed not only limited to aspects of economic capital but also by environmental

capital and social capital. As a company that processes natural products and produces products

from production machines that produce products in the form of animal feed for chickens, PT.

Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk must be able to maintain the continuity of the supply of raw

materials in the form of corn. By paying attention to environmental aspects and the interests of

farmers and communities around the factory, PT. Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk can provide

Environmental Management and Monitoring Efforts in Achieving Sustainable Development at PT Japfa

Comfeed Indonesia

695 Interdisciplinary Social Studies, 1(6), Mar 2022

guidance to fostered farmers to plant corn using fertilizers and environmentally friendly

technology.

Increasing the Role of Human Resources

The implementation of the company's sustainable development cannot be separated from

the understanding of human resources as the main players in the industry. The success and

extent of sustainability initiatives undertaken by business organizations are influenced by the

support from executive leadership within the organization. Increasing the role of managers or

company leaders in realizing sustainable development can be used as the basic form of the

pattern of applying the principles of sustainable development, by measuring the social,

economic, and environmental dimensions based on the experiences of company managers.

To understand employee attitudes and environmental sustainability orientations by

examining the direct impact of institutional environmental dimensions on managers' attitudes

towards the environment as well as the direct influence of environmental sustainability

orientations, it is shown that the dimensions of knowledge about environmental issues,

sustainable practices, and commitment to environmental sustainability are an orientation

construct. environmental sustainability, regulatory and normative elements of the company's

environment are closely related to positive managerial attitudes towards environmental

sustainability positively affect the orientation of the company's overall environmental

sustainability. The attitude of managers and employees towards the natural environment is an

directly related to the environment. Knowing the level of manager's attitude can affect the

achievement of environmental aspects of sustainable development, in addition, there are

aspects that can encourage organizational success if employees not only do their main tasks

but also have the desire to do extra tasks, participate actively, provide extra services to service

want employees who are willing to do tasks that are not only listed in their job descriptions and

the fact shows that organizations that have employees who have OCB will have better

performance than other organizations.

Increasing the Role of Stakeholders

The SDGs should focus on efforts to benefit the community, especially those belonging to

vulnerable groups and not to provide space for the development of capital owned by

multinational companies. The SDGs discuss the causes of poverty in sufficient detail in

accordance with the objectives of the SDGs. In overcoming poverty than do not rely on the

systemic causes of poverty. There have been many criticisms of Neoliberalism as the cause or

preservation of poverty itself so that the SDGs can overcome poverty.

The role of multinational companies in improving people's welfare must be increased,

considering that large companies can create poverty for the community around the company's

location if the opening and running of the company do not pay attention to the negative

economic impact on the community around the company. On the other hand, the impact of

poverty due to corporate actions, whether intentional or not, needs to be studied and managed

so that this can be avoided. Impacts or risks to the economy, society, and environment from
