Corporate Sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals: Respect for Civil Rights in Business Tequila V. Bester
Sustainability Science and Resources Vol. 1 (2021): Sustainability Science and Resources
Publisher : The Indonesian Forestry Certification Cooperation

This study explores the relationship between the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and corporate sustainability (CS) through a business and human rights (BHR) lens. It affirms established guidance that companies must show respect for human rights. As a new factor, the study considers how corporations recognise civil rights. The authors examine annual reports and other material of five Fortune Global 500 multinational enterprises (MNEs) from five sectors to establish their relationship with UNGPs, SDGs and civil rights. They also review policies and reports to determine the MNEs management system(s) (MS) and system certifications. While the sample is too small to make correlations, the authors find that the sample MNEs do recognise civil rights under the guise of human rights. They appear to address civil rights issues that trend globally, not necessarily the problems that occur on the national or local level. Although the sample countries contribute to SDGs, this engagement seems connected to the MNEs business strategy. Their SDGs involvement can change from one fiscal year to the next, depending on the business strategy. In the study, the authors focus on corporate management systems (MSs) and seek to identify elements of a good MS. They recommend that companies expose their MSs to audit and certification processes to ensure that respect for civil and human rights are embedded in their systems.

Double Roles of Married Working Women in Indonesia: For Better or for Worse? Deniey A. Purwanto

SDGs 2030 have at least two goals that strongly converged to gender equality of pay, gender equality (Goal 5), and decent work and economic growth (Goal 8). Marital status argued to have significant contribution in gender inequality of pay and the root of female wage penalty. The argument associated with traditional family division of labour, where men responsible for family breadwinner and women for family caregiver. We examine this argument in Indonesia experiences with additional feature of multiple breadwinner models in the family. Utilizing Indonesian National Labour Force Survey of 2015 of more than 150.000 workers, our twofold regression compatible Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition analysis confirmed the existence of statistically significant gender wage gap even when controlling for the human capital investment, family division of labour, institutional instrument and discrimination. Our findings suggest that married women tend to take a double roles than married men, being family breadwinner as well as family caregiver. In that double roles model, wage rate are highest among working women and marriage wage penalty died out. Unfortunately gender wage gap and wage discrimination persisted. While the role of minimum wage as current nominal institutional labour market instrument still trivial, other factors must also be addressed toward gender equality of pay and more efficient labour market.

The Political Economy of Sustainable Development in Indonesia Dradjad H. Wibowo; Ari Rakatama; Ariyo D.P. Irhamna

Publisher : The Indonesian Forestry Certification Cooperation

Political economy concerns with how actual policies deviate from economic optimality. This study evaluates Indonesia’s progresses toward sustainable development goals (SDGs) from the political economy viewpoint. The authors discuss Indonesia’s Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) and critically analyse its COVID-19 pandemic control policy given the policy’s importance to SDG 3 (good health and well-being) and SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth). Indonesia chooses to opt-out strict public health restrictions because of the government’s preoccupation with economic growth, the large number of workers relying on daily income and its state of democratic consolidation. This results in Indonesia’s failure to control the pandemic and to avert economic recession. Indonesia correctly anticipates global vaccine nationalism and secures adequate vaccine supplies primarily from China. Vaccination becomes Indonesia’s key pandemic strategy. This study shows how indispensable partnerships (SDG 17) are for achieving SDGs, presenting the case of the Indonesian Forestry Certification Cooperation’s work in forest certification and sustainable forest management.

Publisher : The Indonesian Forestry Certification Cooperation

Indonesia has the second largest peatland area in the world, of which 19% is damaged due partly to forest fires and encroachment. The Orang Kayo Hitam (OKH) forest park located in the Indonesian province of Jambi is one among several peat forests in the country that remain largely intake. But as do other forested areas, the park faces severe encroachment threats. Multistakeholder partnership as stipulated by Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 17 offers a reasonable strategy to mitigate the threats. This article studies the driving and restraining factors, both externally and internally, that affect preservation of the park’s peatland as well as the development of effective partnership strategies. Results of the force field analysis show that community’s knowledge and awareness about the link between the park’s ecological and economic functions are the strongest internal driving factors, while lack of them are the strongest restraining ones. Availability of endemic species and frequency of forest fires are the strongest external driving and restraining factors, respectively.

Corporate Transformation Towards Sustainability: The Case of the Indonesian Pulp and Papers Industry Abra P. G. Talattov; M. Ridzki Wibowo; Mei Kallman
Sustainability Science and Resources Vol. 1 (2021): Sustainability Science and Resources
Publisher : The Indonesian Forestry Certification Cooperation

This paper explores the process of sustainability transformation on pulp and paper industry in Indonesia, including the factors driving sustainability, challenges of integrating sustainability, and current best practices in the industry. We used a qualitative research methodology, interview and examine sustainability reports of APP and APRIL, two leading pulp and paper companies in Indonesia. We find a total of 4 drivers and 2 main challenges in the transformation process. The four drivers are: risk and risk reduction, expectation of key stakeholders, i.e., market, consumers, investors, society; competitive advantage, and top management. The two main challenges are the initial investment required and the lack of competence to manage the alleged paradox of improving environmental, social, and economic goals at the same time. However, despite the challenges presented, we find that the transformational process has resulted in a positive impact for the companies’ triple bottom line.

The Effects of Air Pollutants, Particulate Matter 10 (PM10), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) on COVID-19 cases in Indonesia Erwin Dariyanto
Sustainability Science and Resources Vol. 2 (2022): Sustainability Science and Resources
Publisher : The Indonesian Forestry Certification Cooperation

This study aims to analyse the effects of air pollutants on the number of COVID-19 cases in Indonesia. Three pollutants, i.e. Particulate matter 10 (PM10), Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), were analysed. The study covers a period of 1 March 2020 to 31 December 2020 involving data from the cities of Jakarta, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Semarang and Surabaya in Indonesia. This study used the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method with the endurance test Robust Standard Errors. The regression results showed that PM10, SO2 and NO2 are statistically significant positive regressors of the number of COVID19 cases. Every 1 μg/m3 increase in PM10, SO2 and NO2 concentrations is shown to cause an additional 2.65, 7.96 and 21.01 cases of COVID-19, respectively. The implementation of Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) has a statistically significant impact in curbing COVID-19 transmission; reducing 447.4 cases of COVID-19.

The Importance of Public Relation for Sustainability: Application of Peace Journalism in the Corporate Sector Rachmat Hidayat
Sustainability Science and Resources Vol. 2 (2022): Sustainability Science and Resources
Publisher : The Indonesian Forestry Certification Cooperation

This article consists of research that examines the importance of public relations’ role in a company in achieving sustainability. This research was conducted with qualitative method towards cases of several forest plantation companies in Indonesia, including PT Arara Abadi in Riau (Sinarmas Group), PT Wirakarya Sakti in Jambi (Sinarmas Group), PT Adindo Hutani Lestari in North Kalimantan (RAPP Group, Soekanto Tanoto) and PT Toba Pulp Lestari (RAPP Group, Tanoto). The non-optimal role of public relations creates communication gaps when informing a company's policies. This research found the importance of implementing peace journalism approach with an environmental communication model in overcoming the gaps in public understanding and the gaps in forming a public opinion that is built in the media (online). The cause is that the role of public relations lacks optimization in practicing the environmental communication model related to reporting with a peace journalism approach.

Partnership for Sustainable Coffee Certification: Linking Up Smallholder Farmers to Global Coffee Market Bustanul Arifin; Michael Reed; Novi Rosanti; Hanung Ismono; Slamet Budiyuwono

Publisher : The Indonesian Forestry Certification Cooperation

This study examines the impacts of partnerships for sustainability certifications in coffee value chains on farm income in Lampung Province, Sumatra-Indonesia. We conducted farm-household surveys, interviewing 171 samples in West Lampung and Tanggamus Districts, consisting of 98 farmers joining partnership and 73 farmers not joining. A probit model is used to determine decisions to join the partnership; ordinary least square (OLS) is used to analyze the determinants of farm income; and Heckman selection-correction model is used to reduce the selection bias in partnership participation. We find some selection in partnerships for sustainability certifications, driven by the age and education of household head, land holding size of coffee farm and the proximity to rural cooperatives-KUBE. The partnership farmers earn higher farm income than those not joining, due to a higher proportion of productive family members. After employing the treatment-effect model, we find that the partnership for sustainability certifications raises farm income, mostly due to higher coffee yield and farm-gate prices. These results reveal the need for policies to support the establishment and encouragement of partnerships for sustainability certifications. The internal control system (ICS) initiated by coffee corporations in implementing the sustainability certifications have improved the trust level between smallholders and global corporations.

Disability and Labor Market Exclusion: Evidence from Indonesia Rika Kumala Dewi; Ridho Al Izzati; Asep Suryahadi

Publisher : The Indonesian Forestry Certification Cooperation

In accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) No. 8 on Decent Work and Economic Growth, people with and without disabilities have equal rights to access decent and productive jobs. Furthermore, the fulfillment of the righths of disabled people to decent jobs will help to achieve SDG No. 10 on Reduced Inequality. However, in reality, there are pervasive and persistent barriers for people with disabilities to access the labor market. Using Indonesian data, this study examines labor market exclusion among people with disabilities and identifies the challenges that they face. Our findings on labor force participation, unemployment status, employment status as self-employed or employee in the formal sector, and feeling discouraged to enter the labor market indicate that being disabled is associated with a greater probability of being excluded from the labor market and of feeling discouraged, particularly among unemployed individuals. Various factors, including individual level factors, environmental supports, and government policies, affect the inclusion of disabled people in the labor market. These imply that the governments need to strengthen the affirmative actions and promote disabled people’s capabilities to increase employment opportunities for them. Important measures to improve labor market inclusion among people with disabilities are ensuring that their employment quota is enforced and protecting their rights to access employment, increasing their access to high-quality formal and non-formal education, and increasing their access to credit.

Publisher : The Indonesian Forestry Certification Cooperation

This study examines the impacts of coffee agroforestry system and sustainability certification on farmers’ livelihood in Sumatra-Indonesia. The study applies farm-income analysis and quasi-experimental impact evaluations by interviewing 408 coffee farm-households in Lampung Province. Propensity score matching (PSM) adopted here compares some matching characteristics of adopters of coffee agroforestry system and sustainability certification and the control groups. The results show that both coffee agroforestry systems and sustainability certification have positive significant impacts in improving economic benefits and environmental benefits, although the magnitudes slightly differ. Future policy shall provide better alternatives for farmers’ land-use systems that could ensure a better livelihood.
