The Role of Stakeholder Engagement in Improving the Sustainability of the Biodiesel Industry
Keywords:
Stakeholders, Engagement, Biodiesel Industry.Abstract
The Indonesian biodiesel industry faces major challenges in maintaining sustainability amidst global market dynamics and changes in international regulations. The involvement of various stakeholders, including the government, private sector, farmers, and non-governmental organizations, is a key factor in determining the direction of development of this industry. In addition, environmental issues, economic uncertainty, and technical barriers in the distribution and production of biodiesel also affect Indonesia's competitiveness at the global level. This study aims to analyze the role of stakeholder engagement in improving the sustainability of the biodiesel industry and identify strategies that can be applied to strengthen the competitiveness of this sector. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach, which analyzes data from various relevant secondary sources, such as previous studies. The data that has been collected is then processed and analyzed to find patterns of stakeholder involvement and challenges faced by the biodiesel industry. The results of the study show that the sustainability of the biodiesel industry is highly dependent on cross-sector cooperation and adaptation to international standards. Supportive regulations, transparency in the supply chain, and technological innovation are key factors in increasing the efficiency of biodiesel production and distribution. With the right strategy, the Indonesian biodiesel industry can continue to grow and compete in the global market to support a more sustainable energy transition.
