This study examines the gap between Nestlé’s sustainability commitments and the reality of ecological damage caused by the use of unsustainable raw materials in its global supply chain. Using a descriptive qualitative approach based on literature reviews and case study analysis, this study evaluates various data sources, ranging from scientific journals and corporate reports to documentation from independent organizations such as Greenpeace and the Rainforest Action Network. Findings indicate that Nestlé’s procurement of key commodities such as palm oil, cocoa, soy, dairy products, and singleuse plastics significantly contributes to deforestation, systemic plastic pollution, water extraction in vulnerable regions, and greenhouse gas emissions exceeding 87.5 million tons of CO₂e per year. In Indonesia, these highrisk areas are evident in palm oil sourcing in Sumatra and Kalimantan and cocoa sourcing in Sulawesi. Theoretically, this study argues that Nestlé’s sustainability governance exhibits a pattern of strategic decoupling, where public reporting on progress in primary supply chains is deliberately used to mask ongoing environmental damage within their hidden supply networks. Thus, this article makes a critical contribution by integrating supply chain management theory, environmental accountability, and the governance of multinational corporations.

Early marriage remains a significant issue in Indonesia, particularly among adolescents, and has serious implications for reproductive health.

Stigma toward people with mental disorders affects not only individuals living with mental illness but also the psychological well-being of family members who serve as their primary caregivers. Families often experience social rejection, discrimination, and negative stereotypes, which increase emotional and psychological burdens while reducing the quality of care they provide. This study aimed to explore the impact of stigma on the psychological well-being of families caring for people with mental disorders in Pamekasan Regency. A qualitative study using a phenomenological approach was conducted involving 11 participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify participants' lived experiences. The findings revealed one overarching theme, namely the negative impact of stigma, which consisted of three categories: effects on family members, family relationships, and patients. Stigma generated feelings of sadness, anxiety, psychological distress, sleep disturbances, social withdrawal, family conflicts, and changes in family interactions with patients. These experiences negatively influenced caregivers’ emotional well-being and their ability to provide optimal support for family members with mental disorders. The study concludes that stigma has a substantial adverse impact on the psychological well-being of family caregivers and the quality of care provided to people with mental disorders. Therefore, comprehensive interventions focusing on stigma reduction, community education, and strengthening psychosocial support systems are essential to improve family resilience and promote better mental health outcomes.

Marriage at an early age remains widespread, especially among communities with limited education and financial resources. This study aims to analyze the impact of early marriage on harmony in household life. The research model we employed was a library research design. The approach used was descriptive qualitative through literature review, referring to scholarly sources and secondary data from reputable journals published in the last five years. Findings indicate that the mental unreadiness of both parties (husband and wife) who marry at an early age can lead to instability in household life and increase the risk of marital failure or reduced family harmony. Young couples commonly face challenges in maintaining healthy communication, making joint decisions, and coping with financial pressures, all of which contribute to domestic conflict. In addition, emotional immaturity and limited life experience are also primary causes of disharmony within the family. Therefore, there is a need to improve education and public awareness about the importance of age maturity and mental readiness before marriage in order to create stable and harmonious households. Thus, it is necessary to increase education and public awareness about the importance of age maturity and mental readiness before marriage, in order to create a stable and harmonious household.

The impact of sighar marriage on the younger generation from the perspective of Islamic law, social, and psychological. The main problem raised is the practice of marriage without dowry which places women as objects of exchange, thus ignoring their rights and causing the invalidity of the contract according to a number of scholars. The purpose of this study is to analyze the social, legal, and religious consequences of sighar marriage and its implications on the formation of children's identity and family resilience. The research method uses a literature study with a normative-comparative approach, referring to classical fiqh literature, hadith, and contemporary academic studies that compare the views of the Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali, and Hanafi schools. The results of the study show that nikah syighar has an impact on the neglect of women's rights, the normalization of objectification, household instability, the crisis of children's identity, and the weakening of family institutions. In addition, this practice is contrary to maqasid al-shari'ah, thus undermining the sacred value of marriage as worship and a means of moral development. These findings underscore the need for Islamic family law regulation and education to protect the younger generation from the practice of illegal and harmful marriage.

This study aims to analyze the impact of nickel mining activities on the religious life of the community in West Kabaena District, Bombana Regency. The research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach to obtain an in-depth understanding of the social and religious changes occurring within the community. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving religious leaders, community leaders, youth representatives, and mining workers. The collected data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that nickel mining activities have not diminished the community’s understanding of environmental stewardship as a religious responsibility. However, increasing economic dependence on the mining sector has gradually reduced public concern for environmental preservation. In the religious sphere, mining activities have contributed positively by supporting the construction and improvement of worship facilities and religious programs. Nevertheless, work-related demands have reduced the participation of some community members in religious activities. Furthermore, mining activities have affected social solidarity within the community. Values such as brotherhood, mutual cooperation, and social care remain preserved, although changes in social interaction patterns and widening economic disparities have become increasingly apparent. The study concludes that nickel mining activities generate both positive and negative impacts on the religious life of the West Kabaena community. Therefore, balanced policies integrating economic development, environmental sustainability, and religious values are essential to promote sustainable community welfare and strengthen social harmony.

 Toxic work environments are becoming an issue that is getting more and more attention in human resource management because of its destructive impact on the psychological well-being of employees and organizational stability. Unhealthy interpersonal relationships, authoritarian leadership, bullying, and recurrent disrespectful behavior create a work atmosphere full of stress and uncertainty. This condition not only triggers work stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion, it further exacerbates these challenges, as high work demands and a lack of work-life balance make employees, especially Generation Z, increasingly vulnerable to mental health disorders. This study aims to analyze the influence of toxic work environments on employees' mental health as well as its impact on the intention to quit their jobs. The method used is a literature study with a qualitative approach, analyzing relevant scientific articles. The results of the study showed that a toxic work environment characterized by violence, bullying, tyrannical leadership, unfriendliness, and exclusion had a significant effect on the increase in work stress, psychological pressure, work stress and intention to quit work. Toxic leadership is the main factor in forming an unhealthy work culture. Social support, especially from supervisors, plays a protective role as a protective factor that mediates these negative relationships. Generation Z was found to be more sensitive to injustice and rights violations in the workplace. The study concludes that organizations need to prioritize psychological safety, implement supportive leadership, and provide tangible organizational policies and support to maintain employees' mental health and reduce work stress rates for long-term organizational sustainability.

Pemakaian Alat Pelindung Diri (APD) yang memenuhi standar merupakan salah satu langkah untuk mencegah terjadinya kecelakaan kerja di area pelabuhan. Namun, hasil pengamatan di Pelabuhan Tenau menunjukkan masih ada pekerja yang mengenakan APD tidak sesuai standar SNI dan tidak menggunakan APD secara lengkap saat bertugas. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi dampak pendidikan penggunaan APD terhadap pengetahuan keselamatan kerja pada pekerja bongkar muat (TKBM) di Pelabuhan Tenau. Penelitian ini mengaplikasikan metode kuantitatif dengan desain pre-eksperimental yang menggunakan pendekatan one group pre-test dan post-test. Sampel penelitian terdiri dari 28 responden dengan alat penelitian berupa kuesioner yang berisi 10 pertanyaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebelum mendapatkan edukasi, rata-rata responden berhasil menjawab dengan benar 6 pertanyaan (60%) dan memberikan jawaban salah pada 4 pertanyaan (40%). Setelah mendapatkan edukasi, hasil post-test menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan di mana sebagian besar responden dapat menjawab dengan benar sebanyak 9 pertanyaan (90%) dan jawaban salah berkurang menjadi 1 pertanyaan (10%). Berdasarkan hasil studi, dapat disimpulkan bahwa pelatihan penggunaan APD berdampak pada peningkatan pengetahuan keselamatan kerja bagi tenaga kerja bongkar muat (TKBM). Sehingga, diperlukan pengawasan dan pendidikan secara berkala mengenai pemakaian APD yang memenuhi standar SNI untuk meningkatkan keselamatan kerja di area pelabuhan.  

Filsafat dan etika bisnis memiliki peran penting dalam mengarahkan korporasi untuk bertindak dengan mempertimbangkan dampak sosial dan lingkungan dari keputusan bisnis yang diambil. Dalam konteks global yang terus berkembang, perusahaan-perusahaan dihadapkan pada tantangan besar untuk tidak hanya mengejar keuntungan finansial, tetapi juga untuk memenuhi tanggung jawab sosial mereka. Namun, ketidaksesuaian antara tanggung jawab sosial dan praktik korporasi yang terjadi dalam banyak kasus, mengindikasikan adanya celah dalam pemahaman dan penerapan etika bisnis yang efektif (Carroll, 2020). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji sejauh mana filosofi etika bisnis dapat berperan dalam menyelaraskan tanggung jawab sosial dengan praktik korporasi, serta mengeksplorasi model-model yang dapat diadopsi oleh perusahaan untuk menjembatani ketimpangan tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan analisis literatur dan studi kasus sebagai metodologi. Hasil dari penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi bagi pengembangan teori etika bisnis yang lebih aplikatif dalam dunia korporasi, dengan menekankan pentingnya integrasi nilai-nilai sosial dalam strategi bisnis jangka panjang.

Environmental-based diseases remain a major public health issue associated with unsafe drinking water, inadequate sanitation, poor hygiene behavior, improper household waste management, and unsafe domestic wastewater disposal. Community-Based Total Sanitation, known in Indonesia as Sanitasi Total Berbasis Masyarakat or STBM, is a community empowerment approach designed to change hygiene and sanitation behavior through five pillars. This article aims to develop an STBM program planning design and an impact evaluation model for reducing environmental-based diseases, particularly diarrhoeal disease. This study used a narrative review method by analyzing national regulations, official guidelines, global WASH reports, and recent scientific literature. The proposed program design includes situation analysis, multisectoral advocacy, community triggering, household mentoring, strengthening sanitation facilities, monitoring, verification, and impact evaluation. The evaluation model uses process, output, outcome, and impact indicators, with diarrhoea incidence as the main measurable health indicator. The findings indicate that an integrated STBM program supported by community participation, valid baseline data, and periodic evaluation can strengthen the prevention of environmental-based diseases. This article recommends implementing STBM as a sustainable community-based public health intervention rather than a short-term sanitation activity. 

The improvement of village road infrastructure plays an important role in enhancing community mobility and supporting local socioeconomic development. This study aims to analyze changes in mobility conditions before and after road improvement, explore community perceptions and experiences, identify changes in activity and economic patterns, and examine factors that support or hinder mobility optimization in Trayeman Village, Slawi District, Tegal Regency. A mixed-method approach was employed involving 98 respondents selected from a population of 5,229 residents using the Slovin formula with a 10% margin of error, along with 15 key informants for qualitative data collection. Data were gathered through observations, in-depth interviews, documentation studies, and Likert-scale questionnaires. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively, while qualitative data were examined using the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis model. The findings indicate that road improvement has significantly enhanced community mobility, with an overall mean score of 3.89, categorized as high. Access to services recorded the highest score (4.06), followed by economic mobility (4.00) and social mobility (3.99). Community perceptions were largely positive, viewing the improved road as a catalyst for development and improved accessibility. Road improvement also encouraged broader economic opportunities, lower transportation costs, business growth, and increased income. Supporting factors included private vehicle ownership and supportive village policies, whereas high fuel prices, limited transportation options, and uneven local road conditions remained major challenges. Further improvements in supporting infrastructure and transportation services are recommended to maximize mobility benefits.

This research aims to analyze the implications of the transition in lease accounting standards to PSAK 73 on tax efficiency levels and net income structures within the retail industry, focusing on PT Mitra Adiperkasa Tbk as case studies. Employing a descriptive quantitative method, this research compares financial statement data from the 2017-2024 period to evaluate shifts before and after the regulation's enforcement. The results reveal that the implementation of PSAK 73 successfully improved corporate tax efficiency, characterized by a decrease in the Effective Tax Rate (ETR) below the statutory corporate tax rate. This was achieved by leveraging temporary differences that resulted in the recognition of deferred tax assets, providing a strategic advantage in the form of tax deferral. On the other hand, the application of this standard caused significant pressure on net profit during the initial transition phase due to the front-loading expense pattern derived from right-of-use asset depreciation and lease liability interest.

The acceleration of digitalization in recent years has shaped a new socio-economic landscape in Indonesia. Access to app-based financial services and online entertainment has increased rapidly, but at the same time, illegal online lending and digital gambling, targeting adolescents, have flourished. This paper explores a Community Service intervention model that combines preventative digital literacy and artificial intelligence (AI) optimization within the La Tansa Islamic Boarding School in Palembang. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach with participant observation, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and written reflection analysis. Findings indicate that strengthening digital literacy based on critical awareness not only improves risk understanding but also deepens self-control integrated with religious values. AI training for educators also encourages changes in learning practices to be more adaptive and reflective of the dynamics of the digital era. This model offers a digital resilience approach that can be replicated in other educational institutions with similar characteristics.
