is.evaluation.quotesOverall, there were clear and substantial changes in forest management, social and legal aspects, and economic and systemactivities by the firms that received forest management certification inArgentina and Chile.
is.evaluation.quotesThe companies that have received certification in each country had generally good reputations before forest certification, with good forest management practices and worker and community relations. Our interviews indicate that even with this sound base, the firms spent much time and money to improve their operations and meet the certification standards. Furthermore, they all received several conditionsand corrective action requests, and continue to improve,indicating that the practice standards continue to be strengthened.
is.evaluation.quotesThe interviews indicate that firms have changed many forestmanagement, environmental protection, community relations, public affairs, economic, and environmental management system effects. The firms are generally pleased with certification and intend tocontinue to re-certify. The lack of price premiums have been thegreatest disappointment, but outweighed by the other advantages that the forest managers identified. Many plantation forests are certified, but natural forest certification remains small.
