Abstract

Multi-stakeholder Sustainability Initiatives (MSIs) are voluntary market-based approaches that aim to transform business practices by developing more responsible production, sourcing, and manufacturing practices for a given sector or product. This review asks the question: are MSIs measurably and permanently shifting markets towards improved economic, environmental and social outcomes?
