Abstract

This study explores the implementation of sustainable sourcing practices within the Indonesian wood furniture industry and evaluates its impact on long-term business sustainability, focusing specifically on the case of UD. CFU, a medium-scale export-oriented manufacturer. As global demand for ethically and legally produced wood grows, particularly in European markets, compliance with sustainability standards has become a prerequisite for international market entry. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research involved semi-structured interviews with a business practitioner and a forestry government official, alongside a literature review and an analysis using the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) framework. The study identifies the roles and differences between major certification systems, such as the mandatory national Sistem Verifikasi Legalitas Kayu (SVLK) and the voluntary international Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Findings reveal that while these certifications significantly improve internal operational management, enhance supply chain transparency, and reduce material waste, they impose substantial financial and administrative burdens on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). High certification costs (approximately Rp 130,000,000 for SVLK and Rp 65,000,000 for FSC) coupled with minimal market price premiums (averaging only USD $3 per product), create a gap between theoretical sustainability benefits and operational realities. The research concludes that for sustainable sourcing to effectively drive business resilience, stakeholders must address challenges such as inconsistent government support and bureaucratic constraints. Strategic recommendations include the reactivation of group certification schemes, the adoption of digital traceability systems, and the implementation of circular economy practices to enhance competitiveness and environmental outcomes.

Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi implementasi praktik pengadaan berkelanjutan (sustainable sourcing) dalam industri mebel kayu Indonesia dan dampaknya terhadap keberlanjutan bisnis, dengan fokus khusus pada studi kasus UD. CFU, sebuah produsen mebel skala menengah yang berorientasi ekspor di Klaten. Seiring dengan meningkatnya permintaan global terhadap produk kayu yang diproduksi secara legal dan etis, kepatuhan terhadap standar keberlanjutan telah menjadi prasyarat mutlak untuk memasuki pasar internasional, terutama pasar Eropa. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan studi kasus kualitatif, penelitian ini melibatkan wawancara semi-terstruktur dengan praktisi bisnis dan pejabat dinas kehutanan, tinjauan literatur, serta analisis menggunakan kerangka kerja SCOR (Supply Chain Operations Reference). Studi ini mengidentifikasi peran dan perbedaan antara sistem sertifikasi utama, yaitu SVLK (Sistem Verifikasi Legalitas Kayu) yang bersifat wajib secara nasional, dan FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) yang bersifat sukarela secara internasional. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun sertifikasi ini secara signifikan meningkatkan manajemen operasional internal, meningkatkan transparansi rantai pasok, dan meminimalkan kerugian material melalui disiplin dokumentasi, implementasinya memberikan beban finansial dan administratif yang besar bagi UKM. Biaya sertifikasi yang tinggi—sekitar Rp 130.000.000 untuk SVLK dan Rp 65.000.000 untuk FSC—ditambah dengan premi harga pasar yang sangat minim (rata-rata hanya USD $3 per produk), menciptakan kesenjangan antara manfaat teoretis keberlanjutan dengan realitas operasional di lapangan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa agar praktik pengadaan berkelanjutan dapat mendorong ketahanan bisnis secara efektif, para pemangku kepentingan harus mengatasi tantangan seperti dukungan pemerintah yang tidak konsisten dan hambatan birokrasi. Rekomendasi strategis yang diusulkan meliputi reaktivasi skema sertifikasi kelompok, adopsi sistem keterlacakan digital, serta penerapan praktik ekonomi sirkular untuk meningkatkan daya saing global dan dampak positif terhadap lingkungan.
