“…Further, there are some corporations that are taking a new position regarding the cultivation of peatlands which has the potential to have wide-reaching impacts on the status of remaining peatlands in South-East Asia and beyond (Padfield et al, 2016). One such example is Wilmar International, one of the world's largest traders of palm oil, who committed to 'no deforestation, no peatland andno exploitation' in December 2013 (Wilmar International, 2014).…”

EMS standards engender exclusion to those countries that only have a few EMS-certified companies (Morris & Dunne, 2004;Salim, Padfield, Lee, et al, 2018), because companies and consumers in the Global North tend to source green materials or products, whereas companies in the Global South are less able to meet the environmental standard (Arimura, Darnall, & Katayama, 2011).…”
