In achieving SDG’s indicators to focuses on improving sustainable practices in the company environment, the government faces a tough challenge in increasing ISO 14001 certified companies. This study aimed to analyze the barriers and benefits of ISO 14001 certification in the industrial sector and recommend encouraging companies to carry out ISO 14001 certification. Methods: This study used a descriptive analysis method to identify the perception of ISO 14001 certified company practitioners of the certification barriers and benefits. Through survey questionnaires, data collection was conducted to 83 ISO14001 certified companies with a response rate of 49.4%. Results and Discussion: The main barrier in performing the ISO 14001 was the cost of implementation and certification. The highest benefit of ISO 14001 certification was to improve the company's image. A total of 83% of the companies believed that the benefits of ISO 14001 certification outweighed the costs incurred. Conclusion: The companies did not have significant barriers in conducting the ISO 14001 certification and classified into the medium category. The ISO 14001 certification could provide environmental sustainability, social, market, and economic benefits. The government needs to support the interest of companies in conducting the ISO 14001 implementation by overcoming the obstacles and maximizing the benefits.

The results showed that the estimated total household waste generated in Dumai Timur District is 7.772.735,76 kg/year or approximately 0,31 kg/person/day waste generated on average. The three largest waste composition consisted of organic waste, plastic and paper that represents 68,02%; 12,26%; and 8,08 respectively. The economic potential value was estimated up to Rp 871.605.708,42.5.

Daerah Sukacai, Pandeglang adalah daerah di Jawa Barat yang dikenal masyarakatnya mempunyai ketrampilan membuat emping dan penghasil melinjo. Kebiasaaan masyarakat dalam membuat emping masih menggunakan palu yang diketokkan pada 2 atau 3 buah melinjo yang sudah disangrai dengan pasir. Pekerjaan yang masih sangat tradional ini mempunyai potensi akan melukai tangan pekerja jika kurang hati-hati atau kondisi yang terlalu capai. Jika tangan pekerja terluka karena terkena palu penggetok emping, maka untuk beberapa saat tangan tidak dapat digunakan untuk berkerja, sehingga produksi emping akan menurun. Hal ini berdampak pula terhadap penghasilan di masyarakat tersebut. Tujuan dari PKM ini adalah untuk memberi pengetahuan tentang pentingnya HSE (Health, Safety, Environment) atau juga yang dikenal dengan nama K3 (Kesehatan, Keselamatan dan Keamanan Lingkungan). HSE/K3 adalah suatu kondisi dalam pekerjaan dan hidup yang sehat serta aman baik itu bagi pekerja, perusahaan maupun bagi masyarakat dan lingkungan sekitar pabrik atau tempat kerja tersebut. Metode pelaksanaan yang dilakukan adalah dengan memberikan penyuluhan pengetahuan dan pelatihan penggunaan alat penggetok emping yang telah dirancang mempunyai tingkat keamanan yang lebih baik. Pelatihan penggunaan alat penggetok emping ini merupakan salah satu bentuk solusi permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh masyarakat Sukacai, Pandeglang dalam melaksanakan pekerjaanya sehari-hari. Kegiatan PKM yang telah dilakukan ini memberi dampak positif, dimana masyarakat lebih merasa aman dalam bekerja. Meningkatnya rasa aman ini berdampak positif pula terhadap produksi emping melinjo mereka. Berdasarkan kegiatan PKM ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemberian pengetahuan dan pelatihan penggunaan alat bantu penggetok emping ternyata dapat meningkatkan kesehatan, keselamatan dan keamanan masyarakat dalam bekerja.

Indonesian government built a hazardous waste treatment facility near two villages in Bogor, Indonesia. The facility has been operating since 1994, and its activities affect the neighboring villages. There had been two significant conflicts between the village’s community and the company, in 2006 and 2008. The acceptance of the surrounding neighborhood is one of the major risks affecting a company’s lifetime. This study aims to provide the latest perception of the two villages’ community on the facility’s existence. The survey, observation, and in-depth interviews were employed to gather enough information for perception analysis. The perception analysis represents variables: socio-demography, knowledge and information, health issues, social-economy values, and trust. The survey was conducted to 100 respondents, and the data were analyzed as a Likert scale for each variable. The univariate analysis was performed to map the perception, which resulted in “good perception”. The bivariate analysis was performed to explore the socio-demographic variable’s influence on perception. The result showed that there is no significant correlation between age, education level, and occupations with perception. These results can be used as the base information to determine the company’s sustainability strategy.

This paper presents the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of a 640 MW combined cycle power plant located in West Java, Indonesia. The power plant adopts the dual-fuel firing system, in which both natural gas and high-speed diesel fuels are used. The LCA was performed using the open-source LCA software OpenLCA version 1.9. A functional unit of 1 kWh of electricity generation was used in calculating the environmental impacts. The system boundary was modeled using the gate-to-gate system, which includes all inputs and outputs for the following subsystems: fuel storage, water preparation, electricity production, and supporting subsystems. The life cycle inventory (LCI) used data gathered from July 2018 to June 2019. The CML-IA baseline method was used to perform the life cycle impact assessment (LCIA), providing results for ten midpoint impact categories. All impact categories were normalized using World 2000 normalization factors. The result shows that the most significant impact categories are acidification potential (AP), eutrophication potential (EP), and global warming potential (GWP), respectively. The largest acidification source is nitrogen oxide emission from the combustion chamber, with a percentage of 80.32%. Regarding the combustion stage, the post-combustion method is recommended to remove nitrogen oxide from exhaust gases to lower the AP impact category.

Sustainability of the environment is affected by various organizations’ environmental performances, such as Higher Education Institutions (HEI). The HEI’s environmental performances are divided into different categories, such as energy, water, waste, mobile sources, paper, food, and built-up area. Implementation of Environmental Management System (EMS), such as ISO 14001:2015 has been acknowledged to improve HEI’s environmental performances. Despite that fact, only a few HEI that implemented ISO 14001:2015 for their EMS in Indonesia. This article analyzes potential barriers to implementing EMS in Indonesian HEI based on a systematic literature review and in-depth interviews at the case university. There are 25 potential barriers found, analyzed, and then summarized. Five main potential barriers are identified: (1) lack of commitment from the management of the stakeholders; (2) lack of financial resources; (3) lack of expertise on EMS; (4) organizational; (5) lack of engagement from student, staff, and faculty. The study’s results can be used as additional consideration for HEI to overcome barriers in implementing EMS.
