| is.evaluation.counterfacts | No | |
| is.evaluation.findings | Public confidence and communication with landowners was perceived to be better after certification was implemented | |
| is.evaluation.findings | Management systems and performances and forest management practises were perceived to be better after certification was implemented | |
| is.evaluation.findings | The expectation of simplified regulation was not perceived as fulfilled after certification was implemented | |
| is.evaluation.findings | After certification was implemented, companies either gained or retained access to markets that demand certified wood | |
| is.evaluation.outcome | yes | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | Despite the disappointment with the lack of price premiums, certificate holders indicated overall high satisfaction with market access. In addition to market access, most managers and landowners were satisfied with the performance of non-economic benefits: forest management and practices, management systems and performance, self-discovery of non-conformances, better communication, and public confidence. Generally, companies are pleased with FSC and Cerflor and demonstrated their intention to recertify. | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | When we analyzed how well each mechanism is operating, Brazilian certificate holders rated improvement of forest management and practices, improvement of management systems and performance, public confidence, and retain/gain market access with the highest levels of importance and performance (Fig. 3"'Quadrant B). | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | Focusing on the point of how Brazilian certificate holders see forest certification, market mechanism items were given low importance and poor performance, except for retaining/gaining market access. Companies were satisfied with the performance of forest certification as a learning mechanism. As a signaling mechanism, only one of the four items (public confidence) was rated with high importance. Regarding the performance of signaling items, certificate holders were satisfied with public confidence and better communication, while less regulation was rated low in performance. | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | The second factor in this study suggests that forest owners/managers also referred to forest certification as a learning mechanism. Possible benefits to improved forest management practices and to improved management systems and performance motivated owners/managers to seek certification of their forests. Most important, certificate holders were completely satisfied with certification operating as a learning mechanism. | |
