Humans and the environment are two inseparable factors because they both influence each other. Humans can exploit nature; this results in the emergence of various environmental problems. Starting from the problem of environmental pollution to the reduction of natural resources. Companies, as actors in development, have an impact on natural resource exploration activities. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the companys Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program in order to increase community empowerment in managing the environment. This research was conducted at PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Offshore North West Java (PHE ONWJ). One of the flagship programs in 2018 is the " Natural Coastal Village Creations," namely is Hutan Pendidikan Kapal Kehati Greenthink in the community in the Cilamayagirang Village, Blanakan District, Subang Regency.

The results showed a correlation between the effectiveness of Program the Community Development (CD) with the Environmental Citizenship Behavior (ECB )ry1=0.755 and r2= 0.569. The forms of ECB that emerge in the community are behaviors to protect the environment and involvement in the environmental community.
