Dirgantara Indonesia (Persero) and Its Awareness on Environmental in Aerospace Industry Towards Community Empowerment

Purpose: Environmental perspective and community engagement for manufacturing sector in developing countries, such as Indonesia,are becoming globaltrends and concern. Indonesian Aerospace, as one of leading metal processing and manufacturing industry in Asia, has begun their initiative in starting cleaner production based on life cycle of environmental and social thinking. Therefore in this paper discussed about community engagement as a positive impact of cleaner production and life cycle behaviour. Methods: This paper conducted life cycle assessment (LCA) methods for inventory analysis and impact assessment of aircraft components manufacturing process. For life cycle inventory analysis, two different scenarios were applied; consist of Cradle to Gate and Gate to Gate. Moreover, life cycle impact assessment in this study using 10 impact categories from CML-IA version 4.8 as presented in results and discussions. For social life cycle impact assessment approach, interview, questionnaire, and field monitoring were applied during 1 year period. Social analysis of this paper is considered as one of community engagement efforts from the industry to support sustainable development goals. Results: Process towards preliminary life cycle impact assessment on 10 (ten) impact categories have been assessed, resulting climate change (74.9%) and freshwater toxicity (24.45%) as the most contributed potential impacts. To interpretation part, some effort on strategic environmental beyond compliance aspect will also take into account, such as 3R principal of waste management, energy and emission reduction, water efficiency and wastewater management, which looping into one life cycle in business process. Community engagement, as mentioned considered as positive impact ofnon-business process aspects, such as on crops cultivation and local West Java community development. Conclusions: As an impact of cost saving on cleaner production effort, one program has been survived to be maintained throughout a year of implementation, resulting economic improvement up to 15% per annum. It is conclude that industry can maintain their efficiency and effectiveness to the technical operation, the as their care to surrounding environment, including local community.
