- Economic And Social Benefits In FSC Certified Companies Located In BrazilPublication . Fagundes, Camila; Schreiber, Dusan; Nunes, Moema; Fernandes, Maria Eduarda; Damacena, ClaudioAmong the largest and most recognized forest certifications, the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) deserves spe- cial mention. Its objective is to certify forest-origin products that come from socially fair, environmentally ade- quate, and economically viable management. This study aimed to investigate whether the duration of certification and the organizational size influence the perception of economic and social benefits of FSC Certification from the perspective of managers of Brazilian companies holding this seal. To achieve this objective, a quantitative survey was conducted with 54 Brazilian companies. Regarding the economic and social dimensions of sustaina- bility, the "Certification Time" appears to influence the perception of FSC benefits, as indicated by p-values lower than 0.05 in the Kruskal-Wallis test. Furthermore, Dunn's test revealed that companies with a longer certification period, on average 10 years, perceive more benefits. Based on the presented results, it can be concluded that the "Certification Time" can influence the perceptions of economic and social benefits of FSC Certification, while the organizational size did not demonstrate significant influence on the generation of benefits. One of the main con- tributions of this study, both in academia and for organizations in the agroforestry sector, is providing insights to support the design of actions and strategies aimed at rapidly enhancing the benefits of FSC Certification and encouraging companies to adopt it.
- Forest management and FSC certification: a systematic reviewPublication . Fagundes, Camila; Schreiber, Dusan; Nunes, Moema Pereira; Fernandes, Maria EduardaObjective and Methodology: Many studies have been published since the creation of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) to better understand this certification. Through a systematic review of the literature in 2022, this article aims to identify business entities motivations, benefits, and challenges of FSC certification. Through the definition of some inclusion criteria (Scientific Articles; Specific subject areas; FSC, or Forest Stewardship Council, appears in the title, abstract, and/or keywords; FSC means “Forest Stewardship Council”; FSC benefits and challenges), this study reviews a total of 74 publications from 2005 to 2022 from five different data bases (Scopus, Science Direct, Wiley Online Library; Springer Link; Web of Science). More than one author helped with the selection of papers to remove the risk of bias. Results: As main results, the motivations for deployments of the FSC certification are linked to economic issues as well as potential benefits. However, FSC still has several challenges to overcome, such as: high cost, lack of price premium, investment return, and financial dependency in the case of small producers. Social benefits and challenges were also mapped. Such results are directly linked to the type of methodology used in each paper. Originality: As a conclusion, many field studies still need to be developed due to the superiority of documentary research based on audit reports. Although this kind of document has several advantages, some disadvantages are also detected. This paper provides an overview of the FSC directing future research interested in the theme.
- Perception of Brazilian Companies on the Potential and Concrete Benefits Resulting from the FSC CertificationPublication . Fagundes, Camila; Schreiber, Dusan; Nunes, Moema Pereira; Fernandes, Maria EduardaConcern with the adequate use of natural resources has increased the relevance of products certifications in the wood supply chain, especially in companies established in Brazil, the cradle of one of the largest forest reserves. This study investigates the perception of companies on the potential and concrete benefits resulting from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification. To achieve this, a multiple case study was carried out with data triangulation through semi-structured interviews, documentary research and non-participant observation. Four FSC certified industries established in Brazil were analyzed. The results showed that of the four companies participating in the study, only one did not achieve the desired economic benefits, whereas all organizations accomplished the advantages of the other areas of sustainability, both the social and environmental.
