“…The analysis of scientific research on the topic under consideration showed that communication plays an important role in the implementation of the SDGs, and the conducted research helped in comprehensively clarifying the respondents' attitude towards the goals of sustainable development and the importance of their implementation, as well as evaluating and determining their efforts in contributing to the implementation of the SDGs prerequisites for the application of communication tools in the implementation of SDGs. Since the SDGs and their implementation are addressed in both scientific studies (Kates et al (2005), Alraja et al (2022), Arief et al (2022), Burns (2016), Díaz-López et al (2018) and documents, covering categories such as nature, life support systems and community, environment, amongst others, our study aimed to find out respondents' attitudes towards the SDGs and their implementation in the environmental, socio-economic domains. The results of our study revealed that the majority of respondents associate the SDGs and their implementation with reducing air and water pollution and encouraging responsible consumption.…”

“…Nadanyiova et al (2020) also acknowledge that green marketing, as part of socially responsible communication, can positively influence the attitudes of individual target groups towards responsible consumption and can add value to goods, products and services that are related to environmental aspects and social responsibility towards the environment, while Primožič et al (2022) point out the importance of a communication strategy related to climate change, global warming, sustainability etc. Other authors (Arief et al, 2022) also emphasise the importance of communication as one of the preconditions for encouraging greater involvement and participation in sustainable development processes and as one of the factors that empower consumers to adopt sustainable development principles in their personal lives. Thus, communication tools can act as one of the preconditions for initiating changes in social, economic or eclogical processes.…”

The article validates the assumptions of implementing sustainable development goals (SDGs) using communication tools from a theoretical point of view. The research investigates the possibilities of implementing the SDGs through communication tools. 198 respondents took part in the study. Analytical descriptive, quantitative and statistical methods were used. The quantitative research strategy (questionnaire survey) was used to determine respondents' attitudes towards the SDGs in the environmental, social and economic spheres, to identify their experiences of engaging with the SDGs and to explore the possibilities of managing the SDGs using communication tools. Quantitative data analysis was carried out by calculating the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and percentage distribution (frequency). The results showed that more than two-thirds of the respondents were self-critical about their efforts to engage with the SDGs, with an overall mean score of M = 4.81 out of a maximum of 10. The research also found that more than half of the respondents are sometimes influenced and encouraged to act by the information provided on sustainable development and its implementation, and almost a quarter of the respondents are strongly influenced by the information towards the implementation of sustainable development principles. This confirms the importance of communication as one of the possible solutions to the implementation of the SDGs and indicates the need to find more effective means of information to enable the use of the chosen means of communication to shape attitudes towards sustainable development by exploiting the potential of television and websites, which, according to respondents' assessments, are the most frequent means of receiving information on sustainable development processes. The research results also revealed the need to strengthen the social responsibility of organizations and organize courses and training, which, according to the participants, need to be sufficiently exploited in the context of the prerequisites for disseminating sustainable development objectives and their implementation. The research results will have a lasting value for the scientific debate on the impact of the communication tools used in the implementation of the SDGs and their practical implications for the provision of guidelines for the management of sustainable development processes through communication tools.

COVID-19 severely impacted small industries in Indonesia and many collapsed. Sustainable education is essential to help small industries recover post-pandemic through an open innovation design program to improve small industries’ economic, social, and environmental performance. This paper examined the impacts of the sustainable education program implemented and explored open innovations suitable for the sustainability of small industries in developing countries, such as Indonesia, after the pandemic. This research employed a participatory action research (PAR) approach involving academics, government, the community, and four small industries in West Java, Indonesia. Our findings reveal that the sustainable education program through learning activities and direct practice provides valuable knowledge and experience for small industries in designing economic, social, and environmental innovations. Open innovations post-pandemic suitable for small industries in Indonesia include simple business digitalization for company economic growth, the recruitment of people losing their jobs due to the pandemic to achieve social benefits, and innovations in using environmentally friendly packaging and charcoal briquette fuel as an environmental awareness effort. This study recommends that the open innovation designed for small industries be right on target and done using a participatory method to achieve sustainability after the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Sustainability has evolved from a mere "keyword" to a core concept seeking a new balance between ecosystems and humans. To achieve this goal, all stakeholders must make significant efforts to create sustainability, particularly in the case of small industries [8]. Thus, it is essential to emphasize that sustainability in small industries means balancing needs and generating profits while safeguarding the environment and all relevant stakeholders.…”

The Sustainability of Small Industries Thriving across Generation in Rural Areas

This study investigates the sustainability level of small industries that have persevered for up to three generations in rural areas of Indonesia, addressing the significant issue of high failure rates among small industries. Utilizing the Triple Bottom Line framework, this study examined the economic, social, and environmental performance of four small industries that have thrived for multiple generations in Indonesia. Data collection involved semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and secondary company data. Thematic analysis principles using N-Vivo 12 software were applied to analyze qualitative data, while the RAP 2016 software version R was used for assessing the sustainability index and status. The research findings revealed that the sustainability status of small industries that survived for up to three generations in rural areas was predominantly unsustainable. Economic performance exhibited variability, some falling into the less sustainable category, while social and environmental performances were deemed moderately sustainable. The practical implications of the findings are as follows: the level of competition, government policy, and market access are the most sensitive factors that should be considered to improve economic performance. Meanwhile, small industries must maintain and enhance their social and environmental performance to ensure stability. In addition, the theoretical implication of this finding suggests that the concept of “sustainability” cannot solely be represented by the company’s longevity. Long-lasting small industries may not necessarily be economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable.
