Abstract

The phenomenon of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) initiated by the United Nations (UN) has become a global concern today. This is because in recent years, we have faced three crucial environmental crises, namely the climate crisis, the biodiversity and nature crisis, and the pollution and waste crisis. Why are these crises happening? These crises occur because of production and consumption patterns that are managed unsustainably, such as the overexploitation of the earth’s resources. This has adverse impacts on the environment, climate change, damage to ecosystems, and increasing levels of pollution. To achieve environmental sustainability through improved consumption and production patterns, specialized strategies are needed that focus on raising awareness of material and energy use, recycling, waste management, nature conservation, and renewable energy. Sustainability issues in the environmental sector caused by unsustainable production and consumption patterns can also occur in the food and beverage industry. With the background mentioned above, this study aims to determine the factors that influence environmental sustainability in the dairy agro-industry in Indonesia. The analytical method used in this study is the MICMAC (Matrice d’impacts croisés-multiplication appliquée) method developed by the LIPSOR Prospective Strategic and Organizational Research Laboratory (foresight).
