Abstract

This Community Service Program (PKM) was carried out by a team from Universitas Mercu Buana (UMB) in collaboration with PERMAI (Pertubuhan Masyarakat Indonesia di Pulau Pinang, Malaysia), a self-organized Indonesian community in Penang, primarily composed of MSME entrepreneurs. MSMEs play a pivotal role in fostering sustainable economic growth aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, many MSMEs in Penang have yet to implement sustainability marketing strategies or adopt green packaging as a value- added component. This program aimed to raise awareness and provide education on sustainable marketing and the importance of eco-friendly packaging to improve product competitiveness. Expected outcomes include increased knowledge of SDG-oriented business practices and greater understanding of the added value of green packaging. External targets comprise publications in national journals or international conference proceedings, media articles, documentation videos, improved community skills and awareness, and potential copyright registration. Continuous evaluation and monitoring ensure the program's effectiveness and sustainability. This initiative is expected to significantly contribute to empowering Indonesian diaspora MSMEs in adopting environmentally and socially responsible business practices.
