SUSTAINABILITY CERTIFICATION: AN ECONOMIC INSTRUMENT FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
SUSTAINABILITY CERTIFICATION:A PATH TOWARDS GREEN GROWTH
• Green growth is a tool to achieve sustainable development, not a competing paradigm (World Bank 2012).
• Green growth is growth that is environmentally sustainable, i.e.– Efficient in its use of natural resources,
– Clean in that it minimizes pollution and environmental impacts,
– Resilient in that it accounts for natural hazards and the role of environmental management in preventing physical hazards and excessive commodity price volatility.
SUSTAINABILITY CERTIFICATION & SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Sustainable development = sustaining development (growthand equity) with a minimum level of environmental degradation (green)

Nurrochmat, 2016
MANDATORY VS. VOLUNTARY CERTIFICATION
• Mandatory certification refers to legality factor, coercive power, regulatory instrument.
• Voluntary certification refers to legitimacy factor, incentive power, economic instrument.
• Illustration: ID Card (KTP) vs. Passport/Visa
SUSTAINABILITY CERTIFICATION:LEGALITY VS. LEGITIMACY
• The term legality mostly addresses the role of the state and focuses on law enforcement … (van Heeswijk and Turnhout, 2013).
• Legitimacy refers to “justifications of authority” (Schouten and Glasbergen, 2011). It is, according to Suchman (1995) “a generalized perception or assumption that the actions of an entity are desirable, proper, or appropriate within some socially constructed systems of norms, values, beliefs and definitions”.
• Legitimacy contributes to the effectiveness and stability of institutions, and is regarded as a fundamental condition for rule acceptance.
CONFLICT OF INTERESTS IN SUSTAINABILITY CERTIFICATION
• As part of an international regime, sustainability certification is not immune to political interests.
• Referring to Glueck's theory, Krott (2005, p. 8) argues that interest is a driving force of politics. He states, “interests are based on action orientation, adhered to by individuals or groups, and they designate the benefits (an individual or a group) can receive from a certain object”.
SUSTAINABILITY CERTIFICATION AS GREEN BRANDING
• Sustainability certification is not always associated with increasing the profitability of business, but has emerged as a form of green branding of business management and its products (Correia, 2010).
• That is, in practice sustainability certification can be used as a method to reinforce control over production processes rather than increasing financial benefits.
CASES
(1) FOREST CERTIFICATION (TIMBER LEGALITY VERIFICATION SYSTEM/SVLK).
(2) OIL PALM CERTIFICATION (ROUNTABLE ON SUSTAINABLE PALM OIL/RSPO).
HOW SVLK
WORKS

CONSIDERING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SVLK
• The implementation of SVLK for community forests and timber trade in local market is less effective in terms of profitability, legality, and legitimacy.
• We provide two policy options to improve national regulation of forest governance. – The first option is the dissolution of existing national forest
governance systems into a single system of SVLK to avoid cost inefficiency from the redundancy of mandatory procedures.
– Second policy option would establish the SVLK as a “private” forest governance system, among other private certifications, including LEI and FSC. Since the SVLK has been enacted as a mandatory certification, then consequently, the implementation of SVLK should follow opt-in “enforcement basis” instead of mandatory “compliance basis”. The “enforcement basis” of SVLK for is less legitimate and ineffective than existing systems.
(2) OIL PALM CERTIFICATION - RSPO
• Voluntary private certification - Transnational regimes can be defined as “set of norms, rules, and decision-making procedures that are made and implemented across borders through the activities of non-state actors” (Pattberg 2012).

CONCLUSION• By RSPO certification, an oil-palm
company has to manage HCV area. Consequently, the company will loss the potential yields ca. 20% from HCV area. To be feasible, the minimum premium price shall be 15% higher than normal price. The recent premium price (1% above the normal price) is economically not feasible.
