| is.evaluation.notes | Interesting literature review on cost-benefits of certification giving insights on how costs and benefits differ between operations depending on many variables. Seems to also have some misunderstandings related to the FSC system, so need to take care in quoting. | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | "Public procurement policies are emerging as a major driver to ensure the legality and sustainability of woodsources and wood products, especially in Western Europe,the United States and Japan (Durst et al. 2006, Howard 2006)." | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | "The costs of obtaining certification are apparently increasing rapidly. Certification has created a job in itself: certifiers (auditingcompanies) will remain in business as long as forest certification is used as a management assessment tool. Will competitionamong auditing companies eventually drive the cost down and the quality of audits up?" | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | "The competition among the standards will continue, and has been and will result in convergence of their requirements. Thepublic image issues will become less evident due to the increased similarity among various certification standards. What issuesshould be included into forest certification in order for it to “catch the public eye”? Will certified forest products ultimatelymarketed as such, rather than being associated with a particular standard, as has happened with organic food products?" | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | "For many companies, certification isincreasingly seen as a cost of doing business (particularlyin relation to maintaining market access), and it is thereforelikely that the costs will eventually be transferred to thecustomer. However, this has not yet happened as customersare still faced with a choice between certified and (cheaper)uncertified wood, and the majority seem to favour the latter. Itseems likely that for a premium to be realised, much greaterefforts will need to be devoted to informing customers of theproducts they are buying, both in relation to the advantagesof certified wood and the potential problems associated withuncertified wood." | |
