Paluš, Hubert, 1972- How companies in the wood supply chain perceive the forest certification / Hubert Paluš ... [et al.]. -- Tab. -- Lit. - The idea of forest certification, a means of tackling deforestation and forest degradation emerged in the 1990s. Forest certification is a voluntary process whereby the quality of forest management and production is assessed by an independent third party. Besides the general information on the implementation of forest certification systems, the study is focused on the description of the main roles of forest certification. In particular ,how roles are perceived by certified entities and the differences in perception of forest certification between the forest owners and managers and the chain of custody certified companies in the wood supply chainare analysed .Respondents are people with high level of understanding the certification concept and considering the certification primarily as a non-economic tool. Subsequently, they understand certification as an economic toolas well. Forest owners and certified companies tend to have same incentives for entering the certification process, however, with different priorities among these incentives. Finally, the main problems related to certification are identified in the paper. In contrast to certified wood processing industries and traders, forest owners do not consider certification costs to be the main problem. On the other hand, main problems of the certified supply chain identified by chain of custody companies is those connected to the sufficient quantity of certified forest products and overpriced certified material inputs. The fact that positive aspects of certification are better valued than its shortcomings are confirmed by the main results
