This book provides a balanced critique of a range of international
sustainability certification schemes across nine agricultural and
natural resource industries. Certification schemes set standards
through intramarket private and multi-stakeholder mechanisms, and
while third-party verification is often compulsory, certification
schemes are regulated voluntarily rather than legislatively. This
volume examines the intricacies of certification schemes and the
issues they seek to address and provides the context within which
each scheme operates. While a distinction between sustainability
certifications and extra-markets or intrabusiness codes of conducts
is made, the book also demonstrates how both are often working
towards similar sustainability objectives. Each chapter highlights
a different sector, including animal welfare, biodiversity,
biofuels, coffee, fisheries, flowers, forest management and mining,
with the contributions offering interdisciplinary perspectives and
utilising a wide range of methodologies. The realities,
achievements and challenges faced by varying certification schemes
are discussed, identifying common outcomes and findings and
concluding with recommendations for future practice and research.
The book is aimed at advanced students, researchers and
professionals in agribusiness, natural resource economics,
sustainability assessment and corporate social responsibility.
