Abstract

This study aims to examine how Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles are interpreted, integrated, and managed within Islamic secondary education and to develop a Leadership-Driven ESG Integration Management model. This study conducted a qualitative case study at an Islamic secondary school from April to June 2026. The study collected data through semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis with relevant school stakeholders. The data were analyzed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion verification, supported by triangulation to strengthen the credibility of findings. The results indicate that ESG integration was constructed by aligning sustainability practices with Islamic values and ecotheological principles, including Khalifah, Amanah, mas’uliyyah, and ihsan. Leadership played a central role by combining spiritual, transformational, and instructional functions to coordinate environmental, social, and governance initiatives, such as BeRAANI, waste management programs, Ketep Pass Project-Based Learning, community service, Adiwiyata, and quality assurance systems. The study concludes that leadership bridges Islamic values and sustainability governance. The proposed model contributes theoretically by extending sustainable leadership perspectives and practically by offering an applicable framework for managing sustainability in Islamic schools. Future studies should examine its transferability through comparative and longitudinal research designs.
