<![CDATA[This study investigates the role of leadership in implementing Islamic business ethics at TBS Kelapa Sawit Mega Lestari, focusing on identifying challenges and strategies to overcome them. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, involving direct observations, semi-structured interviews with 10 key informants (comprising company leaders, field employees, and local farmers), and an analysis of documentation. Findings indicate that the successful implementation of Islamic business ethics—centered on fairness, honesty, transparency, and social responsibility—is heavily dependent on the leadership's ability to educate employees and establish ethically aligned partnerships. Key challenges identified include employees’ limited understanding of Islamic ethical principles and inconsistencies with partner companies not adhering to these values.
