日本語
本論文はコモニスト価値理論を用いて、アグリフードシステムにおける企業サステナビリティプログラムが構造的に変革を阻害することを論じる。真の価値（生命維持的価値）が物象化された価値（資本蓄積志向）に転換される「脱コモン化」のプロセスを分析。企業サステナビリティは現状維持機構として機能し、真の変革にはコモンズに基づく代替案と政治的立法が必要と結論付ける。
English
This paper applies Commonist Value Theory to argue that corporate sustainability programs in agri-food systems structurally fail to deliver transformation. It distinguishes True Value (life-supporting) from Fetish Value (capital-accumulation oriented), and traces how sustainability programs convert the former into the latter through 'decommonization'. The paper concludes that genuine transformation requires commons-based alternatives and political-legislative shifts.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
本論文は企業サステナビリティの限界を理論的に指摘する。日本においてもSSBJや統合報告書の枠組みが進む中、企業のサステナビリティ開示が実質的な変革につながらない可能性を示唆する点で示唆に富む。ただし、日本固有の政策・制度への言及はない。
In the global GX context
This paper offers a structural critique of corporate sustainability, relevant to global debates on ESG effectiveness. It challenges the assumption that voluntary corporate action can drive systemic change, which resonates with ongoing discussions around TCFD/ISSB and the need for stronger regulatory frameworks. The paper does not provide specific policy recommendations but highlights the limitations of market-based approaches.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a novel theoretical lens (Commonist Value Theory) for critiquing corporate sustainability in agri-food systems.
🏢実務担当者:Offers cautionary perspective on the limitations of corporate sustainability programs in achieving genuine transformation.
🏛政策担当者:Highlights structural barriers to transformation, suggesting need for legislative and commons-based approaches.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Corporate sustainability programs in agri-food systems have expanded dramatically, yet emissions, deforestation, hunger, and land concentration intensify. Why does corporate sustainability systematically fail to deliver transformation? This paper applies Commonist Value Theory (CVT) to show that this failure is structural, not contingent. CVT distinguishes between True Value, the life-supporting qualities that sustain human and more-than-human flourishing, and Fetish Value, abstracted forms oriented toward capital accumulation. CVT traces how corporate sustainability programs convert the former into the latter through ‘decommonization’: the perversion and enclosure of shared life-supporting relations. Drawing on investor analyses, carbon market assessments, and critical scholarship, this paper demonstrates that corporate sustainability programs function as civilizing meta-mechanisms. Rather than transforming food systems, they stabilize existing arrangements by absorbing critique and redirecting transformative energies into regime-compatible forms. Farmers’ knowledge is captured as proprietary data, living ecosystems are reduced to tradeable metrics, collaborative relationships are fragmented by corporate platforms, and movements for genuine alternatives are channeled into supply chain optimization. The analysis concludes that corporate sustainability cannot deliver genuine transformation because its structural function is to stabilize rather than supersede the current value regime. Genuine transformation requires commons-based alternatives from below and political–legislative shifts from above that structurally constrain decommonization.
