<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the role of the Ciwaringin Batik Cooperative in the sustainability of environmentally friendly batik production through a maslahah perspective, using a qualitative approach using a case study method in Cirebon Regency, using data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The maslahah perspective is used to assess the extent to which cooperative activities provide benefits for members, the community, and the environment simultaneously. The results of the study show that the cooperative plays an important role in production management, raw material provision, quality control, and marketing of natural dye batik, where members' production needs are met through the provision of materials by the cooperative while the availability of raw materials is maintained through planned inventory management, and product quality is maintained as a characteristic of Ciwaringin Batik. On the marketing side, the cooperative helps expand market access through customer networks, resellers, and digital media. Viewed from a maslahah perspective, the role of the cooperative is proven to include fulfilling members' economic needs (hifz al-mal), environmental preservation (hifz al-nafs), and strengthening social and cultural ties (hifz al-nasl), although a number of challenges are still found such as limited supply of certain raw materials, price competition, and suboptimal use of digital marketing. Various steps have been taken to address this, starting from strengthening raw material management, improving product quality, to developing marketing networks, so it can be concluded that cooperatives play a role as institutions that support the sustainability of environmentally friendly batik businesses by strengthening economic, social, and environmental aspects simultaneously in accordance with maslahah values.
