ENVIRONMENTAL BUSINESS LICENSE
IN INDONESIA
In Indonesia, an environmental license is a legal requirement for businesses and projects to ensure compliance with environmental regulations. Obtaining this license involves an assessment of potential environmental impacts. The approval process is overseen by several related and integrated institutions depending on the business types to ensure that activities are conducted in an environmentally sustainable manner.
In Indonesia, environmental licensing is a crucial part of ensuring that businesses operate in compliance with environmental standards and regulations. The types of environmental licenses typically revolve around assessing, mitigating, and monitoring the environmental impact of business operations.
primary types of environmental licenses and permits:
AMDAL (Analisis Mengenai Dampak Lingkungan)
This is an Environmental Impact Assessment required for businesses and projects that are likely to have a significant impact on the environment. The AMDAL includes detailed studies and requires approval before certain types of projects can proceed.
UKL-UPL (Upaya Pengelolaan Lingkungan dan Upaya Pemantauan Lingkungan)
For businesses and activities with a smaller scale of environmental impact, the Environmental Management Effort and Environmental Monitoring Effort reports are required. These reports outline the steps a company will take to manage and monitor its environmental impact.
RKL-RPL (Rencana Pengelolaan Lingkungan dan Rencana Pemantauan Lingkungan)
It is an effort to handle and monitor the impact on the environment caused by the Business and/or Activity plan.
SPPL (Surat Pernyataan Pengelolaan Lingkungan)
This is an Environmental Management Statement required for businesses with minimal or no significant environmental impact. It is a self-assessment by the business on its environmental management practices.
Each of these licenses serves a different purpose based on the scale and nature of the environmental impact associated with the business or project. The process of obtaining these licenses involves several steps, including the preparation of documents and reports, public consultation, and approval by environmental authorities. The aim is to ensure that businesses take responsible actions to mitigate negative environmental impacts and contribute to sustainable development.
