The Implementation of Green Economy in Increasing the Achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Tempe Industry in Sanan Malang

The application of green economy principles is one of the important strategies in encouraging sustainable development, especially in the small and medium industrial sector. This study aims to analyze the level of application of green economy principles in the tempeh industry and its contribution to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The research method used is a descriptive quantitative approach by collecting data through questionnaires to 30 tempeh industry players. The analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation tests. The results of the study showed that the level of green economy implementation was in the “adequate” category with an average score of 3.04 on the Likert scale of 1–5. The highest indicator is in the aspect of economic impact on the community, while the lowest aspect is the use of environmentally friendly technology and waste management. Correlation analysis showed a significant positive relationship between the length of business and the level of green economy implementation (r = 0.45; p= ¡ 0.05), which indicates that business experience also influences sustainability awareness and practices. Although the tempeh industry has a positive contribution to the achievement of SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth), its contribution to SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production) and SDG 13 (handling climate change) is still limited. Policy interventions in the form of training, incentives, and adoption of clean technologies are needed to increase synergy between green economy practices and SDGs goals.
