“…Peer‐reviewed publications that use robust scientific methods and avoid misrepresentations of transparency data (Gardner et al., ) would be of significant interest to media, NGOs, and corporate actors, especially given the high level of trust enjoyed by academics. Media coverage and NGO campaigns can produce improvements in corporate supply chains or alert regulatory agencies with remit to punish environmental crimes (Gibson & Warren, ). Both NGOs and academics have collaborated with industry to audit and improve certification schemes (Dauvergne, ; Gibbs et al., ).…”

“…Proactive companies will sometimes collaborate with stakeholders to develop sustainability standards. Recalcitrant companies may risk legal action by NGOs and regulatory agencies (Gibson & Warren, 2016;Spar & La Mure, 2003).…”

“…Deeper social histories of seemingly natural commodities can be traced (Head et al, 2012). Commodities are also often framed within inclusive Global Production Network (GPN) approaches examining diverse actors, power, discourse, and materiality (Coe et al, 2008; Gibson and Warren, 2016). But how can quantitative economic geographies converse with and complement such accounts, accounts that tend to rely upon relational notions of space and economy?…”

“…Ciccantell and Smith (2009) argued that material and locational attributes of the primary sector influence production networks in distinctive ways: they highlight, for example, how large and lumpy capital investments are frequently required to mobilize raw materials via ports and pipelines, and the dynamic interaction of scale economies in raw material production and transportation (see also Bunker and Ciccantell 2005). Gibson and Warren's (2016) description of a "resource-sensitive global production networks" showed how shortages of traditional hardwoods (which have prized qualities of resonance, strength, and beauty) and environmental regulation influence the organization and spatiality of acoustic guitar manufacturing, leading to both fragmentation and concentration within the production chain. In a similar way, Crang et al's (2013) research on economies of waste highlighted the profound heterogeneity of materials encountered in waste flows and how the corresponding need for fine-grained sorting gives intermediary brokers (rather than large lead firms) a key role within waste value chains because of their capacity for assessing material quality.…”

“…So far, the center of gravity of the GPN research framework has been manufacturing, where it has been adopted to understand functional and geographic integration in a range of sectors from aircraft (Bowen 2007) and automobiles (Isaksen and Kalsaas 2009) to textiles (Tokatli, Wrigley, and Kizilgün 2008) and wood products (Murphy 2012;Gibson and Warren 2016). However, recent work has taken GPN into less familiar terrain, to examine producer services such as temporary staffing (Coe, Johns, and Ward 2011), freight forwarding (Bowen and Leinbach 2006;Rodrigue 2006), the creative sector (Johns 2006;Yoon and Malecki 2010), and extractive industries (Bridge 2008;Steen and Underthun 2011;Bridge and Le Billon 2013;MacKinnon 2013).…”
