Description

Abstract Certification of forests and wood products has received worldwide attention in recent decades. This study examined certification's salience and ability to provide incentives as reported by primary wood manufacturers in Wisconsin. Self-administered questionnaires were mailed in February 2003 to 392 firms in this classification. Adoption levels and perceptions of certified wood products reported by responding firms were examined. Most firms were not chain-of-custody certified. Further, a majority of firms reported being unfamiliar with it. Price premiums on certified product offerings, increased market share and access, as well as operational and managerial improvements were not perceived by most respondents as realized benefits of becoming chain-of-custody certified. Some firms reported they had gained new knowledge and perceived enhanced credibility with the public by becoming certified.
