Based on a literature review, interviews, and case studies from different trading entities, chapter 1 expounds on the different ways in which corporations attempt to incorporate sustainability into their business practices. Chapter 2 discusses how sustainability standards can influence governance and traceability systems and impact supply chain relationships.
