Abstract

Stakeholder theory portrays the responsibility of a business towards its stakeholders. This paper studies the association between the pressure of financial stakeholder of palm oil companies and the stakeholder integration on the basis of stakeholder theory. For this study, 80 companies were selected from the roundtable on sustainable palm oil (RSPO), in order to help understand the factors affecting the level of stakeholder integration. The role of creditors in affecting the level of stakeholder integration was found to be weak. The study also revealed that shareholders may have the power to influence the management, particularly when shares are widely dispersed among shareholders. Moreover, company size was found to be positively associated with stakeholder integration.
