It is often said that globalization creates interdependence between different countries and their populations. This is also true of a company and its stakeholders. Aracruz had what appeared to be legal property rights to the land the Native Americans were claiming. Both sides, the protesters and the company, were interdependent.

This methodology makes thinks a bit complex as the countries like China which are developing and is producing high amount of carbon dioxide oxide have to follow the same policies as that of Netherlands which is working very hard on green energy, but this is very effective in long run because the standards which Netherlands is following is up to the mark and if developing countries would be following these policies then they can have their development intact and won’t cause any problem to the climate.
