An environmental and social assessment of forest certification schemes
 
Evidence of widespread destructive logging of old-growth forests around the world has caused many consumers to be concerned about the trail of devastation left behind. Certification is a mechanism that aims to assure consumers that the products they buy come from well-managed forests. Our in-depth report of the four biggest forest certification schemes analyses the strengths and weaknesses of each scheme and aims to provide companies, governments and NGOs with the facts needed for informed decision making.
