Abstract

In recent years, environmental concerns and social impacts related to the energy and mining industries have increasingly captured public attention. In West Kalimantan, communities and the government face significant challenges in achieving a balance between sustainable economic growth, environmental protection, and social well-being. Despite the existence of laws and regulations regarding Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), there remain several implementation challenges. Some of the identified challenges include a lack of community understanding and awareness of their rights, insufficient coordination between local government and companies, and the need for more effective monitoring and law enforcement mechanisms. This study adopts a normative legal research approach to analyze legislation concerning CSR in the energy and mining sectors of West Kalimantan. The collected data encompasses laws, government regulations, policies, and court decisions relevant to CSR. The analysis aims to identify legal norms governing CSR, assess the consistency, clarity, and adequacy of existing regulations, and propose potential improvements or changes. The study's findings indicate the existence of significant regulations pertaining to CSR in the energy and mining sectors of West Kalimantan. Laws, government regulations, and policies have addressed corporate responsibility in areas such as environmental management, community participation, and sustainable development. However, there are also weaknesses in the existing regulations, such as a lack of clarity regarding responsibilities and sanctions.
