Environmental Pollution is a serious problem that is currently being experienced by the community due to the large number of companies that carry out operational activities, especially in the plantation and palm oil industries. As one of the provinces with the largest number of oil palm planters, West Kalimantan is a place for entrepreneurs who make investments in the oil palm plantation and industry sector. However, many companies that start their business do not fully comply with the provisions regarding the implementation of environmental protection as stipulated in Article 74 paragraph (1) of Law Number 40 of 2007 concerning Limited Liability Companies which confirms that companies carrying out their business activities in the natural resources sector and/ or fields related to natural resources must carry out social and environmental responsibility. This study aims to explain the social and environmental responsibilities of plantation companies and palm oil mills in West Kalimantan Province and the efforts made to resolve environmental disputes due to environmental damage by companies. The research method uses descriptive qualitative. Data collection was carried out by observation and in-depth interviews. The withdrawal of informants was done on purpose. Data analysis used Miles and Huberman's interactive model which began with data collection, data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that environmental pollution is increasing due to the large number of companies that have not carried out their responsibility to maintain the environment and carry out procedures according to the regulations in force.
