Our article introduces a serviceable approach estimate emissions-based conservation liabilities in firms’ regions. The relies on geospatial analysis, forest-to-emission conversion estimation, carbon-based pricing impact evaluation, and benefits-based burden-sharing analysis. method estimates annual value carbon emissions for which downstream actors should be held responsible. estimated is used as buyers’ liability contribution region. empirical works suggest that oil palm buyers who source feedstocks from Central Kalimantan carry greater historical compared Sabah.

In response to stakeholder pressure, companies increasingly make ambitious forward-looking sustainability commitments. They then draw on corporate policies with varying degrees of alignment disseminate and enforce corresponding behavioral rules among their suppliers business partners. This goal-based turn in private governance has important implications for its likely environmental social outcomes. Drawing paradox theory, this article uses a case study zero-deforestation commitments the Indonesian palm oil sector argue that governance's characteristics set stage two types paradoxes emerge: performing between environmental, social, economic goals, organizing cooperation competition approaches. Companies' responses these paradoxes, turn, can explain lack full goal attainment differential rates progress actors. These results our attention complexities hidden behind through setting space, raise questions about viability similar strategies such as science-based targets net-zero goals.

Conservation governance is increasingly globalized, particularly supply chain polices implemented by multinational corporations. However, the ways that local elite narratives and power networks influence design implementation of policies poorly understood. We examine role agribusiness have on producers' resistance to through concept "sacrifice frontier". theorize sacrifice frontiers are regions where reinforcing perceptions conversion native vegetation has high economic potential low conservation importance combine with rapid processes wealth consolidation interests. posit these dimensions a frontier make land use change ongoing social ecological harm especially probable as they reinforce constraints sustainability governance. Here, we build existing theories environmental case Cerrado biome, Brazil's most active deforestation frontier. argue in Cerrado, other like it, interventions seek reduce loss cannot rely supply-chain led policies, but instead need foster more territorial multi-sectoral multi-stakeholder discussions alter narrative sociocultural biodiversity locally. suggest this can be achieved paying attention needs manner inclusive all users present within targeted landscape.

Abstract Transforming global food supply chains for sustainability in a pervasive manner requires leading it specific contexts. As central intermediaries between producers and consumers possessing both tacit explicit knowledge of supply–demand local business cultures, traders are uniquely positioned ecosystem orchestration (EO). The limited literature on the role agricultural commodities promoting calls has motivated this study. To understand capabilities required orchestrators (EOs), we surveyed available using citation network analysis, revealing elements within clusters value stakeholder orchestration, cultivating dynamic interorganizational capabilities, interplaying innovation ecosystems, utilizing software ecosystems. These contained interlinked EO functions offering complementary assets digital platforms, which highlighted as actual practices by certain major trading firms. We conclude that EOs is plausible provide actionable guidance.
