ABSTRACT
This study aims to uncover waste management activities and environmental costs of environmental cost reporting at
the Islamic Hospital of Banjarmasin. This researcher uses a qualitative paradigm with a case study design. The
research scope is the Unit of Environmental Health Sanitation with the accounting process of environmental
management, hospital waste management's data focus, and expenditures for waste costs. Primary data were
collected through in-depth interviews and observations; secondary data, through documentation. The results
revealed that environmental management accounting systems in 2019 and 2020 found hidden environmental costs
from waste management cost reports in the Financial Statements. For example, the environmental cost report
applied to the SKL Unit revealed Rp. 677,646,500 and Rp. 459,521,600 not presented as an environmental cost in
2019 and 2020. The implementation of environmental cost accounting through environmental cost reporting at the
Islamic Hospital of Banjarmasin revealed that special reports in environmental management accounting could be
used as information by the management of the Islamic Hospital of Banjarmasin in planning and controlling
environmental responsibility activities. The study results also revealed that the environmental cost report facilitated
the direction of the Islamic Hospital of Banjarmasin in making decisions related to environmental costs and
provided information for stakeholders that the hospital had been responsible for maintaining environmental health.
Keywords:
Environmental management accounting, environmental costs, environmental cost reports.
