Environmental protection from industrial waste has become an increasingly urgent legal obligation along with the rapid growth of corporate activities that potentially cause environmental pollution. In practice, corporate waste management is not solely determined by compliance with statutory regulations but is also reinforced through internal corporate norms and the implementation of environmental management systems. This study focuses on analyzing environmental protection from corporate waste within the perspective of special criminal law, emphasizing the preventive roles of Collective Labor Agreements (Perjanjian Kerja Bersama/PKB) and the ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System. The research applies a normative juridical method using statutory and conceptual approaches by examining environmental legislation, corporate internal regulations, and relevant legal doctrines. The results show that Law Number 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management provides a legal basis for imposing special criminal liability on corporations that fail to manage waste properly and cause environmental pollution. Furthermore, PKB functions as an internal legal instrument that promotes environmental discipline among employees, while ISO 14001 encourages systematic pollution prevention and compliance with environmental regulations. The study concludes that the integration of special criminal law enforcement with internal corporate regulations and environmental management standards constitutes an effective preventive strategy to reduce environmental crimes within corporate environments.
