Abstract

Background: The Wastra Bumi Community Development Program addresses textile waste as a social and environmental issue by empowering local communities through the Japanese Sashiko technique. The initiative promotes circular economy practices and Creating Shared Value (CSV) by transforming discarded fabrics into wearable art. The program focuses on underprivileged groups, vocational students, and small creative industries to support sustainable livelihoods and waste reduction. Purpose of the Study: To evaluate the social, environmental, and economic impacts of the Wastra Bumi program using the Social Return on Investment (SROI) approach. Methods: The study involved 20 stakeholders and collected data through field observation, surveys, financial records, and interviews, monetized using national and international proxies. Results: The program generated an SROI ratio of 6.29:1 within one year and 16.62:1 over a three-year projection. The program engaged 240 vocational students and diverted approximately 550 kg of textile waste. It demonstrates that vocational training and multi-sector collaboration deliver strong socio-environmental value. These findings highlight the effectiveness of community-based circular economy interventions in generating measurable and scalable social impact.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices on SME performance in Surabaya, Indonesia, and evaluates the moderating roles of digital transformation and government support. Using a quantitative cross-sectional design, data from 100 Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME) owners and managers were collected through purposive sampling and analyzed using PLS-SEM with SmartPLS 4. The measurement model met reliability and validity criteria after removing two weak ESG indicators. ESG practices positively affected SME performance (β=0.348, t=3.137, p=0.002), and government support also had a significant effect (β=0.342, t=3.621, p<0.001), while digital transformation showed a positive but non-significant effect (β=0.219, t=1.802, p=0.072). The moderating effects of digital transformation (β=0.108, t=1.423, p=0.155) and government support (β=-0.085, t=0.863, p=0.388) were not significant. The model explained 51.3% of SME performance variance (R²=0.513) and showed positive predictive relevance (Q² predict=0.457). This study is limited by its cross-sectional design and focus on SMEs in a single urban context, which may affect generalizability. The findings contribute to the resource-based and dynamic-capability perspectives by demonstrating that ESG and government support directly enhance SME performance, while digital transformation does not automatically strengthen ESG outcomes.
