Abstract

Increasingly pressing environmental issues require companies to implement sustainable business practices. Unsustainable packaging significantly contributes to soil, water, and air pollution, disrupts ecosystems, increases health risks from microplastics and hazardous chemicals, increases the economic burden of waste management, and accelerates climate change through increased greenhouse gas emissions. Green marketing and the use of eco-friendly packaging are effective strategies for reducing the negative impacts of business activities on the environment. This study aims to analyze the implementation of green marketing practices through eco-friendly packaging at PT Sinar Sosro Ungaran and evaluate its effectiveness in minimizing negative impacts on the environment. The research approach used was a qualitative case study at PT Sinar Sosro Ungaran. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman method through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that PT Sinar Sosro Ungaran has implemented an effective green marketing strategy, including the use of eco-friendly packaging that contributes to plastic reduction, increased recycling of materials, and increased environmental awareness among consumers. Implementing green marketing through eco-friendly packaging not only benefits companies but also significantly contributes to minimizing negative environmental impacts. Recommendations for companies include further development of sustainability strategies, while further research is recommended to explore the long-term impact of this practice on consumer behavior and the environment. Keywords :Sustainability; green marketing; eco-friendly packaging; PT Sinar Sosro Ungaran; environmental impact.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of behavioral bias and Islamic financial literacy on students' investment decisions as a representation of young Muslim investors. An explanatory quantitative approach was used by collecting data through an online questionnaire distributed to 48 students at Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK). Data analysis was carried out using multiple linear regression through SPSS version 27. The results showed that of the three dimensions of overconfidence, only overplacement had a significant positive effect on investment decisions, while overprecision, overestimation, loss aversion, and anchoring bias did not show a significant effect. On the other hand, Islamic financial literacy has the strongest positive influence on investment decisions, indicating that understanding of Islamic financial principles is able to suppress behavioral bias and increase investment rationality. Theoretically, these findings expand the perspective of behavioral finance by including Islamic values as a controlling factor for cognitive bias. Practically, the results of this study provide input for educational institutions and financial authorities to strengthen Islamic financial literacy to form rational, ethical, and sustainable investment behavior among young investors.

The results of this study indicate that price does not have a significant effect on purchase decisions. Innovation and product quality have a significant effect on purchase decisions. Therefore, based on these factors, this study provides several recommendations for Xiaomi smartphone company management to improve innovation and product quality so that Xiaomi smartphones can better compete with other smartphone brands

Abstract

Corporate governance plays an important role in ensuring effective monitoring and strategic decision-making within companies. This study aims to examine the effect of board characteristics, proxied by board size, the proportion of independent commissioners, and gender diversity, on the financial performance of companies in the consumer non-cyclicals sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2024 period. This research employs a quantitative approach with an explanatory design using panel data obtained from the annual reports and financial statements of the sampled companies. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, resulting in 30 companies with a total of 120 observations. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that board size, the proportion of independent commissioners, and gender diversity have positive and significant effects on financial performance measured by Return on Assets (ROA). These findings indicate that a more effective board structure can enhance the quality of managerial oversight and improve strategic decision-making processes, which ultimately contribute to better corporate financial performance. The results support the perspectives of agency theory, resource dependence theory, and upper echelons theory, highlighting that board characteristics play an important role in strengthening corporate governance and improving organizational performance. These findings provide empirical contributions to the corporate governance literature and offer practical implications for companies in designing optimal board structures to support sustainable financial performance.
