SETBACK OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ARRANGEMENTS IN THE MINERAL AND COAL MINING SECTOR

Abstract

Revision of Law No. 3 of 2020 concerning Amendments to Law No. 4 of 2009 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining as a result of the discussion of the Working Committee has overhauled 143 articles out of a total of 217 articles, meaning that 82% of articles were amended in Law No. 4 of 2009. This law is neither participatory nor transparent, so it does not favor the implementation of corporate social responsibility. This study aims to analyze and examine the setbacks in the regulation of corporate social responsibility in the mineral and coal mining sector. The research method used is a normative legal research method with a legal approach and a conceptual approach. The results of this study illustrate that Law No. 3 of 2020 has experienced a setback in the regulation of corporate social responsibility in the mineral and coal mining sector, namely: the addition of mining permits, namely the Rock Mining Permit, where this permit will open a new space in mining management, contains provisions new activities that endanger the community’s living space because all activities ranging from investigations to mining are included in the community’s living space, only monitoring the mining safety aspect only removes aspects of mining occupational health, paving the way to criminalize people who reject the existence of mining in their territory.
