| is.evaluation.collection | Mixed methods | |
| is.evaluation.counterfacts | Yes | |
| is.evaluation.findings | The average annual allowable cut (AAC) was lower for certified companies than for companies adopting legal harvesting rules. | |
| is.evaluation.outcome | Yes | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | We found that the adoption of management plans required logging companies to reduce their annual allowable cut by 11% on average, while certified FMUs underwent an average reduction of about 18%. This is a clear positive impact of certification allowing a better recovery of valuable species for the next rotation and mechanically reducing the damages to the residual stand by lowering the harvest intensity. | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | If the "'FSC logic"' was applied by all certifying bodies, on all the most harvested species, the average reduction in the annual allowable cut of all certified FMUs would be about 34% | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | Companies seek this outcome not only because they have to compete with companies that sell the same few species, but not certified, on the same markets, but also because they know that some certifying bodies allow weaker harvesting rules to be adopted, and this is profitable for the companies. | |
