Contribution is an involvement carried out by an individual or an institution that positions itself in a collaborative role that can provide social and economic value. The independent curriculum implemented at SMPN 9 Malang through the Strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile (P5) Project is a solution to improve the quality of education by focusing on the theme of a sustainable lifestyle. This research examines the planning, implementation and evaluation of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers' strategies in establishing a sustainable lifestyle in P5. A descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach was used, with data collected through observation, interviews and documentation. The research results show that PAI teacher planning includes P5 activity program design, implementation strategies, and programs to create a sustainable lifestyle. Implementation involves environmental cleanliness activities, developing student creativity, and making environmentally friendly products. Evaluation is carried out through non-test assessments, space for criticism and suggestions, as well as P5 evaluation meetings. Implementation of the sustainable lifestyle theme in P5 shows a significant increase in students' self-confidence, self-efficacy and interest, providing strategic insight to face the challenges of implementing P5 and improving the quality of education through a sustainable lifestyle approach.
