This document discusses the need for locally owned sustainability standards in Asia to drive sustainable transitions in major markets like China, India, and Indonesia. It notes that consumers in these rapidly growing economies appear to care more about sustainability than Western consumers. The document then outlines 4 key issues: 1) readiness of Asian markets for sustainability, 2) need for local standards, 3) relationship to international standards, and 4) reasons for engagement from global North. It provides survey data showing Indian consumer support for certified products and willingness to pay more. The document argues that local standards can help fill gaps and be more appropriate for cultural and business contexts in Asia's large agricultural markets. International standards could coexist with and help drive innovation in local standards.

Global Sourcing is viewed as a common business practice but is surprisingly not well defined in practice and can mean different things depending on where one is that. However, western CEOs and CPOs view it as a basic practice to be competitive despite feeling the process is not well measured or managed. Solutions for better performance come down to developing people and evolving process.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

2. 4 issues covered
1. Whether Asian markets ready for sustainable
transition?
2. Why do we need locally owned sustainability standards
in Asia?
3. How do they relate to international sustainability
standards?
4. Why should global North should engage with this
agenda?
3. Consumers in Rapid Growth Economies (RGEs)
appear to care more than their Western colleagues

11. The need for locally owned standards
1. The top down-fit all approach of global standards is
resisted by the stakeholders even when there is a export
market. Cultural issues come on the way.
2. Governments are getting active in the field of
sustainability by developing voluntary systems
themselves. (E.G. ISPO from Indonesia, China Social
Compliance 9000, IS 16001 from India).
3. India, China and Brazil are the biggest producer and
consumer of most agro-commodities. Yet, most
international standards do not operate in these markets.
4. International standards are costly to implement in a low
margin business model of Asia.
5. Global businesses are increasingly seeking to provide
sustainable products to all customers in all markets.

14. Local standards v/s International-Common Concerns
• Start with what is local and what is international?
• Local standards reduces the sustainability criteria
and have less credibility?
• The local standards could be base line or “stepping
stone” standards to international ones?
• More standards/codes are bad as it increases the
cost and confuses stakeholders?
• The governance of local standards are weak?
• More……..?
15. International and Local standards-how to relate
• Standards are tools for sustainable change. The
challenges are so vast that all can co-exist.
• The domestic standards will be mostly targetting
high-hanging fruits-potential clients for international
standards.
• May fuel innovation and lead to more efficient
systems
17. Why should global North engage?
• The agro-commodities like
tea, coffee, sugarcane, cotton, fruits, vegetables, livestock, soy
, palm oil which has a huge impact on land and water are
mostly produced and consumed in emerging markets of
India, China and Brazil.
• A level playing field for businesses from North to participate in
outperforming markets of Asia.
• Sustainable agriculture will act as a future bridge between
needs of feeding the 9 billion population in 2050 and a
increasing global requirement of feed, fiber and fuel.
18. Conclusion
• Major Asian markets are ready for sustainable
transition
• Large scale transformation of Asian agriculture sector
covering more than half of world population requires
local solutions
• Existing international standards could co-exist along
with the standards emerging from new markets.
• There is one planet and there is one agenda!
And consumers in Rapidly Growing Economies including India are more trusting of and loyal to brands that are socially and environmentally responsible compared to Western counties such as the UK and US.
Consumers in developing markets (Brazil, China, India) are more than twice as likely as their counterparts in developed markets (Germany, United Kingdom, United States) to report that they purchase products because of environmental and social benefits (51% to 22%), are willing to pay more for sustainable products (60% to 26%) and encourage others to buy from companies that are socially and environmentally responsible (70% to 34%). (
The largest consumer segment, the Aspirationals, is seeking both sustainability and consumption. They are looking for brands to provide solutions that both improve their lives and serve the larger society. And, because they are trendsetters in emerging markets like China and India, we believe business has the opportunity to shape a new consumerism by meeting their aspirations and desires with more sustainable products and lifestyle choices.
Following codes and documenting them is always about a culture. For. E.g. in oral tradition in India does not allow extensive documentation of all the activities.The larger political issue is who defines finer prints of what is “credible sustainability”?Global businesses are increasingly benchmarking their own sustainability principles with different international and local codes
More codes are bad as it increases cost: We have a different take on that. Having national codes will actually push other standards operating from outside the country to reduce their costs to remain in business. More economical models developed in a bottom-up manner need not be because it is diluting the standards or have a weaker implementation but could be because it is more efficient business wise.
This type of agreement, widespread in the air transport industry, allows carriers to expand their networks, optimizing the use of resources and fleets while giving their customers more destinations, more flights and more convenient schedules as well as the opportunity of earning or spending miles whenever there is also a reciprocal agreement on customer loyalty programs.
