Abstract

Background: Air pollution is commonly treated as a technical environmental issue, although its impacts are socially unequal and shaped by gender, class, geography, and access to resources. Women experience disproportionate burdens due to reproductive vulnerability, household exposure, unpaid care responsibilities, and limited participation in environmental decision-making. Objective: This article examines air pollution as a gendered problem by positioning women not as statistical objects of exposure but as subjects whose lived experience constitutes a source of knowledge. Methods: Drawing on scholarly literature, air pollution was analyzed as a layered form of oppression that situates women at the intersection of biological vulnerability, the domestic division of labor, class position, geographical location, and constrained economic access and health services. Results: Three theoretical frameworks are integrated: Crenshaw's concept of intersectionality with its structural, political, and representational dimensions; Rocheleau's feminist political ecology, foregrounding access, control, knowledge, and struggle over environmental resources; and Elmhirst's extension, which insists that the relations among gender, environment, and power be read through the social, economic, and political structures that govern resource access and distribute ecological vulnerability. Conclusion: The analysis shows that women are simultaneously the most exposed, the most burdened by care work, the least in control, the least represented, and the most frequently uncounted. Gender-blind clean-air policy therefore tends to deepen rather than ease inequality.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia’s palm oil industry boosts the economy and supports renewable energy, but its expansion has caused deforestation, biodiversity loss, and social conflict. Rising external pressure makes sustainability essential, yet practices remain fragmented. Stronger corporate governance is needed to balance profit with social and environmental responsibility, as traditional agency theory no longer fully applies.Purpose: This study explores how different principal groups influence sustainability phase progression and how governance mechanisms evolve when companies face competing sustainability expectations in the agribusiness sector. This study extends agency theory beyond shareholder primacy and examines how firms navigate sustainability shifts under changing stakeholder power.Design/methodology/approach: A qualitative single-case study was conducted on PALMO (a pseudonym), an Indonesian palm oil company with vertical integration. The company’s trajectory from 1993 to 2023 was traced through interviews, focus group discussions, document reviews, and site visits. The analysis draws on the Sustainability Phase Model, extended agency theory, and the four pillars of corporate governance (ethical behavior, transparency, accountability, and sustainability).Findings/Results:  PALMO’s sustainability trajectory was uneven. Progress accelerated when external pressure intensified or when internal coordination was effective, and slowed during periods of weak oversight or shifting priorities. Changes in the influence of principals (buyers, NGOs, regulators, and shareholders) either enabled movement across sustainability phases or created new constraints on the movement. Over time, governance has expanded from basic compliance to more adaptive practices, including cross-divisional sustainability teams, sustainability-linked loans, and ESG-based performance targets. These mechanisms provide ways to manage short-term business needs alongside longer-term sustainability goals.Conclusion: Multi-principal dynamics shape both progress and setbacks in sustainability phases and inform the evolution of governance. Effective governance requires adaptive arrangements that integrate sustainability into incentives, targets, and coordination structures while maintaining strategic alignment amid ongoing tensions.Originality/value: This study extends agency theory by framing governance as a negotiation among multiple principals rather than a simple alignment with shareholders. It also enriches the Sustainability Phase Model by showing that sustainability transformations can overlap, stall, or reverse, offering theoretical and practical insights into strengthening sustainability governance in emerging market agribusiness. Keywords:  corporate sustainability, extended agency theory, corporate governance, palm oil industry, sustainability transformation

Abstract

Krisis iklim ini telah mempengaruhi berbagai aspek kehidupan masyarakat, terutama di daerah pesisir, pedesaan, dan komunitas adat di Indonesia Timur. Dampaknya tidak hanya berupa degradasi lingkungan, tetapi juga memperburuk ketidaksetaraan gender, meningkatkan kerentanan sosial-ekonomi, dan memicu risiko kekerasan berbasis gender (GBV). Perempuan di daerah-daerah ini sering berada di garis depan dalam tanggap darurat, memanfaatkan pengetahuan lokal yang diwariskan turun-temurun untuk menjaga ketahanan pangan, ekonomi rumah tangga, dan keberlanjutan ekosistem. Praktik-praktik seperti diversifikasi pangan, berkebun di halaman belakang, konservasi mangrove, meti-meti di komunitas Bajau, dan teknik balobe di Papua mencerminkan peran strategis perempuan dalam adaptasi berbasis komunitas. Berbagai temuan menunjukkan bahwa strategi adaptasi yang dipimpin perempuan tidak hanya reaktif, tetapi juga proaktif dalam mengantisipasi risiko iklim dan mengurangi kerentanan komunitas. Namun, kontribusi ini seringkali terpinggirkan dari kebijakan formal. Oleh karena itu, mengintegrasikan perspektif gender dan mengakui pengetahuan lokal perempuan merupakan kunci untuk memperkuat ketahanan komunitas terhadap krisis iklim secara berkelanjutan.

Abstract

Fisherwomen on the coast of Demak face various gender injustice amidst environmental crises and public policies that lack gender responsiveness. The Puspita Bahari community serves as a platform for fostering solidarity, advocacy, and grassroots leadership among these women fishers. This study was conducted in three villages supported by Puspita Bahari-Morodemak, Margolinduk, and Purworejo-located in the Bonang sub-district of Demak. By integrating the analysis of spatial, temporal, and violence dimensions (STV) within the feminist everyday political economy framework (Elias & Rai 2018) with the theoretical lens of collective action (Kabeer 2020), this paper examines how Puspita Bahari's collective action resists marginalisation and simultaneously promotes social transformation in the daily lives of coastal women. The research underscores the importance of recognising fisherwomen as agents of change, endowed with local knowledge and collective strength, in realising gender-just development. Incorporating their voices into policymaking processes is crucial for meaningful and sustainable social transformation
