This scientific article analyzes alleged legal violations by a company in Indonesia in the case of PT Eudora Global Indonesia/Eudora Skincare Batam by examining consumer protection, occupational safety, cosmetic supervision, and business practices related to human rights as interconnected issues. The problem identified in this study is the relationship between international instruments such as the SDGs, UNGPs, UNGC, ESG, and corporate sustainability, and national legal instruments, as part of the company’s accountability for the alleged distribution of cosmetic products without BPOM authorization, manipulation of expiration dates, and product information whose validity cannot be verified. This article finds that national law imposes binding obligations through the Consumer Protection Law, the Health Law, BPOM regulations, and labor/occupational safety provisions, while international instruments function only as normative standards in assessing aspects of health, human rights, governance, business integrity, and sustainability. Therefore, the case of PT Eudora Global Indonesia/Eudora Skincare Batam is not merely about sectoral administrative/criminal violations but also reflects a failure of corporate management and due diligence to prevent negative impacts on consumers and workers.
