Since late 2013, Indonesia's biggest palm oil companies have positioned themselves as strong advocates of zero-deforestation. However, their commitments to zero-deforestation have not always been well-received by the Indonesian government. The government has taken many initiatives to promote sustainable palm oil and to put an end to deforestation, but prefers to do so on its own terms. The palm oil companies have had to organize and frame their zero-deforestation policies vis-a-vis the government strategically. Our research question is: how have the major palm oil companies of Indonesia navigated their zero-deforestation commitment around Indonesian public authorities' regulatory power? Using the concept of corporate political activity, we distinguish three episodes of corporate zero-deforestation commitment, each characterized by different strategies of companies. We show that palm oil companies have changed the strategies of implementing their zero-deforestation policies from trying to influence government policy to operating in the shadow of hierarchy.

自 2013 年底以来，印度尼西亚最大的棕榈油公司将自己定位为零毁林的坚定倡导者。然而，他们对零毁林的承诺并不总是得到印度尼西亚政府的欢迎。政府采取了许多举措来促进可持续棕榈油和结束森林砍伐，但更愿意按照自己的方式这样做。棕榈油公司不得不针对政府战略性地组织和制定其零毁林政策。我们的研究问题是：印度尼西亚的主要棕榈油公司是如何围绕印度尼西亚公共当局的监管权力实现其零毁林承诺的？使用企业政治活动的概念，我们区分了企业零毁林承诺的三个事件，每个都以公司的不同战略为特征。我们表明，棕榈油公司已经将实施零毁林政策的策略从试图影响政府政策转变为在等级制度的阴影下运营。
