| description |
The overall objective of the study is to
explore the current effectiveness of certification and
verification schemes in Southeast Asia to strengthen the
legality and sustainability of future forest management,
wood processing and related trade. It analyzes how the
linkages among credible certification and verification
schemes and the enforcement of forest laws can be
strengthened in Southeast Asia. The analysis will in
particular focus on five case study countries, which are
important producer or wood processing hubs in the region:
Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. In
particular, the study assesses the status and perceived
credibility of certification and verification schemes in
Southeast Asia and illustrates the extent to which they
offer proof of compliance with national laws and
regulations. The analysis also explores the potential impact
certification could have on facilitating law enforcement and
influencing market practices and sector governance. Finally,
it illustrates the potential role certification could play
in determining a company's qualifications with
financial institutions and, hence, its access to finance. |
