<![CDATA[The Berkatan program, implemented by PT Paiton Energy, is an innovative initiative aimed at reducing food waste through the redistribution of surplus food from the company’s cafeteria to the local community. This qualitative study, based on literature review and library research, analyzes the environmental, economic, and social impacts of the program. Data from 2024 and 2025 indicate that the program successfully redistributed 172 kg and 224.8 kg of surplus food, respectively, reducing food waste by 0.172 tons and 0.225 tons. These actions contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12.3.1.a, which targets the reduction of food waste at the consumer level. Moreover, the program has resulted in cost savings of approximately Rp 104,101.95 over two years, demonstrating the economic benefits of food waste management. Socially, the Berkatan program provided food donations worth Rp 22,550,000 to local communities, helping to alleviate food insecurity and contributing to efforts to combat malnutrition. The study highlights the program's positive impact on the company's value chain, with surplus food now integrated into the company’s sustainable operations. This shift not only reduces environmental waste but also strengthens PT Paiton Energy’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability culture. The program also encourages behavior change among employees and the community, fostering a more sustainable mindset.]]>
