Descripción
Through the concept of scientific cherry-picking, this paper has analysed how Voluntary Sustainability Standards selectively incorporate particular strands of scientific knowledge that align with their operational models and governance structures. This selective integration often leads tothe promotion of interpretations of sustainability that are compatible with weak sustainability paradigms –emphasizing incremental improvements within existingsystems – rather than fostering more systemic and transformative approaches.
