Corporate sustainability remains a prominent global concern, with stakeholders increasingly holding businesses accountable for their actions. Corporate governance (CG), facilitated by an effective board and risk management committee, can exert an impact on corporate sustainability performance (CSP). The mixed findings of prior research, on factors influencing CSP, serve to motivate this study. Additionally, the influence of sustainability committees (SC) in the CG-CSP relationship has not been examined before. This study thus represents one of the earliest investigations that elucidate the impact of SC on the relationship. The study sample comprised 762 listed companies in Malaysia, spanning 2020 to 2022. Using content analysis on company annual reports, the results established the positive and significant influence of CG on CSP as consistent with the stakeholder theory. Moreover, the results demonstratd that SC was not able to strengthen the role of CG in its relationship with CSP. These empirical findings offer valuable guides for regulators, companies, and stakeholders, that emphasise the influence of CG and SC on CSP.

This study examined the relationship between knowledge, past experience and personal value of growers and millers intention to adopt the RSPO. 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.
