Islamic Philanthropy for Corporations: Study of PT Suparma Tbk

Abstract

This study discusses the implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at PT Suparma Tbk from the perspective of Islamic philanthropy and its contribution to the company's business sustainability. The demands on companies today are not only to pursue profit but also to play a role in providing social benefits and maintaining environmental sustainability. As a paper manufacturing company, PT Suparma Tbk has several CSR programs that focus on social and environmental areas. However, it is necessary to examine to what extent these programs reflect the values of Islamic philanthropy and how they contribute to the company's sustainability. This study provides an overview of the forms of CSR programs and their relation to Islamic philanthropy instruments. The method used is descriptive qualitative through interviews, observations, and documentation. The data were analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing to identify the forms of CSR implementation, its alignment with zakat, infak, sadaqah, and wakaf elements, as well as its impact on the company. The study results indicate that CSR at PT Suparma Tbk is carried out in social, economic, and environmental programs. The implementation predominantly reflects the values of infak, wakaf, and sadaqah, while zakat has not yet been found in the CSR structure. The implementation of CSR can enhance the company's relationship with the community, strengthen its image, and support environmental sustainability, thus positively influencing long-term business sustainability. This study is expected to serve as a reference for developing CSR based on Islamic values and to encourage companies to collaborate with zakat institutions so that the programs are more directed and have a broader impact.
