This study applied the theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) to test the proposed relationship. This research applies a quantitative approach that uses a cross-sectional questionnaire survey in order to test the proposed hypotheses. A total of 122 palm oil companies in Sabah, Malaysia were identified and collected data were analysed using the partial least squares and structural equation modelling. The findings of this study confirmed the Theory of Planned Behaviour as a great predictor of behavioural intention. In addition, knowledge, past experience and personal value were also found to have significant relationship and this resulted into the conclusion that knowledge, past experience and personal value positively influence the attitude amongst growers and millers towards RSPO. The result of this study has proven that the TPB model is a valuable, practical and has a high potential to predict human behavioural intention.

However, this industry has been under criticism for serious deforestation and open burning activities, which obviously opposing to the objective of the oil palm Good Agricultural Practice on zero burning. As a result, sustainability certification of Roundtable Sustainable Palm Oil and Malaysia Sustainable Palm Oil had been introduced towards achieving sustainable development governance in this industry and fulfilling the needs of importing countries on certified palm oil. However, the number of companies with sustainability certification is relatively low due to the concern on potential additional cost, which then could affect firm profitability. Therefore, this study aims to examine the impact of sustainability certification on financial profitability among 39 palm oil companies in Bursa Malaysia, from 2009 to 2016. Based on the GLS estimation model, the finding shows that the profitability of firms with sustainability certification is almost 2% higher than firms without certification. The finding of this study provide useful input for industry players and could encourage palm oil companies to subscribe sustainability certifications to improve their sustainability practices and good governance as well as increase their profits.
