“…With regard to the food aspect, some scholars highlight that, in parallel with some of its positive aspects for the industry, specifically its low cost (Carter et al ., 2007), its high oxidative stability, the availability of large quantities of product, and its neutral taste and smell, there are some characteristics that could be unhealthy, such as the copious presence of saturated fatty acids (Matthäus, 2007) and the palmitic acid content, despite the conflicting results about its consequences on cancer and cardiovascular diseases (Mancini et al ., 2015). As specified above, the second issue regards the impact of the palm oil crop on the environment, which inspired the creation of some specific certifications (such as Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil, Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil, Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil) to promote a more sustainable approach (Jamaludin et al ., 2018; Ruysschaert and Salles, 2014). Specifically, the negative consequences can be summarized as deforestation, threats to biodiversity and pollution (Wilcove et al ., 2013; Warr and Yusuf, 2011; Wilcove and Koh, 2010; Fitzherbert et al ., 2008).…”

PurposePalm oil is widely used in the food industry; however, there are two main controversies connected to its use, namely, its nutritional value and the environmental consequences deriving from its crop. In Italy, the use of palm oil has recently been criticized, insomuch that some important bakery companies decided to substitute it, creating a real food marketing case. Through a focus on biscuits, this study is aimed at profiling consumers with regard to palm oil issue to better comprehend if the presence of this ingredient truly influences their food purchases and if they care about the nutritional and environmental aspects, highlighting the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on consumers' consumption.Design/methodology/approachA questionnaire was administered to 243 subjects in Italy, in order to apply a cluster analysis.FindingsThe findings show the presence of three main kinds of consumers: (1) compromise finders (sensitive to cost savings but trying to privilege palm-oil free food), (2) brand-loyal consumers (palm oil does not influence their preferences) and (3) healthsensitives (the presence of palm oil profoundly affects their choices), who represent the majority of our sample. The results and implications are discussed.Originality/valueResearch on palm oil is essentially focused on chemistry, natural sciences or on its industrial uses: this study analyzes the consumer point of view by applying a different methodology compared to existing studies.

“…Moreover, Lim and Biswas (2019) confirm that unsustainable performance in the supply chain causes smallholder equity to suffer from the highest gap threshold and suggest that palm oil mills should increase the food source from smallholders through a variety of schemes. Apart from that, some palm oil mills show that a low efficiency in boilers releases high dust emissions and suspended solids, affecting the surroundings' air quality (Jamaludin et al, 2018). To improve such practices, comprehensively enhancing the adoption of I4.0-in-a-CE is necessary, although this increases the cost, thus presenting the industry with a new dilemma (Jamaludin et al, 2019).…”

“…Govindan (2016) said that a balance between SBSC dimensions is needed to realize shareholder satisfaction in profits while still paying attention to community welfare and environmental sustainability. Furthermore, conceptually, it provides opportunities for companies to contribute to sustainable development in an integrative way [7,41,77,78].…”

Sustainability Performance Management Framework for Circular Economy Implementation in State-Owned Plantation Enterprises

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The circular economy concept needs to be part of the performance management system so that it is in line with a company’s vision and mission. Thus, the circular economy will play an important role at the operational level of companies. The circular economy needs to be internalized, starting by formulating the company’s vision and mission, establishing strategic objectives and performance indicators, and creating resource allocation policies. This research aims to design a sustainable performance management system in the context of a circular economy for state-owned plantation enterprises (SOPEs). This study used a qualitative research coding method that was validated in three SOPEs in Indonesia. Validation was performed by comparing the framework based on the conceptual formulation with the data and information obtained during field assessment. Primary data came from interviews with 15 managers, while secondary data came from official company documents. The research results show that the initial framework that was built is in accordance with the results of the exploration of the circular economy strategic objectives in the three SOPEs. The results of the 100 percent validation and perception test of managers on the range of values are important. Therefore, the proposed framework can be used in SOPE.
