Corporations and other nongovernmental entities now regularly work to develop voluntary agreements, standards, and other practices aimed at fostering sustainability and reducing environmental impacts. This growth in “private governance” is implemented through various vehicles, including collective standardsetting, certifications, supply chain agreements, and other mechanisms. The influence of private governance is broad, impacting industries from electronics to forestry to apparel, as well as many others.
