Why might forest companies certify? Results from a Canadian survey

Takahashi T., Van Kooten G., Vertinsky I.

International Forestry Review 5 ( 4 ) 329 - 337 2003.12

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：International Forestry Review

During the late 1980s/early 1990s, voluntary forest certification emerged as a new market-based incentive mechanism and had an important influence on the way the world's forests are managed. To understand the mechanism of its diffusion, we employed a survey instrument and probit regression analysis to investigate certification of forest practices by Canadian companies. Specifically, we investigated the characteristics of firms that have considered certification and of firms that have formally manifested their intention to certify. Three major forest certification schemes are considered: (1) ISO 14001, (2) the Canadian Standards Association, and (3) the Forest Stewardship Council. We find that a firm's type of tenure holdings, reliance on export markets, size, and the local community are important factors in explaining why forest companies consider certification.

Corporate environmentalism across cultures: A comparative field study of Chinese and Japanese executives

Branzei O., Vertinsky I., Takahashi T., Zhang W.

International Journal of Cross Cultural Management 1 ( 3 ) 287 - 312 2001.12

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：International Journal of Cross Cultural Management

This study explores the influence of national culture upon leaders' interpretations of corporate environmentalism. The first part of the paper reviews the theoretical and empirical premises for a common interpretation of corporate environmentalism across countries. Three dimensions of corporate environmental performance are distilled from the qualitative literature developed in North America: organizational embeddedness, capacity to undertake environmental actions, and responsibility for protecting nature. We develop a survey instrument to measure corporate environmentalism and collect data from two random samples of Chinese (Shanghai-based) and Japanese executives. Exploratory factor analyses suggest that North American, Chinese, and Japanese executives employ three similar dimensions to interpret the corporate environmental performance of their companies. Using these dimensions, the second part of the study compares the overall degree of corporate environmental performance reported on the average by Chinese and Japanese executives. The study also investigates the influence of national culture, environmental values and socioeconomic contexts upon firm-level greening in both countries. Copyright © 2001 Sage Publications.

Why Japanese firms choose to certify: A study of managerial responses to environmental issues

Nakamura M., Takahashi T., Vertinsky I.

Journal of Environmental Economics and Management 42 ( 1 ) 23 - 52 2001.12

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：Journal of Environmental Economics and Management

This paper examines empirically the determinants that led large Japanese manufacturers to (1) incorporate environmental goals in their decisions, (2) obtain environmental certification (ISO 14001), and (3) become early adopters of environmental certification. We estimate two sets of models: (1) models based on a profit maximization assumption and (2) models which incorporate utility maximization arguments, recognizing that managers' values, attitudes, and beliefs may also influence firms' decisions. The empirical analysis suggests that while the costs and benefits of voluntary actions to enhance or protect the environment and the capacity to act are significant determinants of voluntary environmental commitment, so are the environmental values, beliefs, and attitudes of managers. © 2000 Academic Press.

Rising to the Kyoto challenge: Is the response of Canadian industry adequate?

Takahashi T., Nakamura M., van Kooten C., Vertinsky I.

Journal of Environmental Management 63 ( 2 ) 149 - 161 2001.1

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：Journal of Environmental Management

A major weapon in Canada’s CO2-emissions reduction arsenal is reliance on moral suasion and voluntary action. In this regard, the Voluntary Challenge and Registry (VCR) program constitutes a major effort to encourage industrial firms to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. In this paper, we begin by providing a critical review of Canadian climate change policy and Canada’s international commitments. We then investigate the effectiveness of Canadian policies by analyzing a survey of industrial firms, examining factors that determine firms’ familiarity with, participation in and commitment to the VCR program, and their stated potential to reduce emissions by 2008-2012 (Kyoto’s commitment period). Results indicate that voluntary programs are unlikely to make a significant contribution to emissions reduction, with industrial firms indicating that, on average, they plan to reduce emissions by some 1-2% below their 1990 level under the current policy approach, much lower than Canada’s 6% reduction target. © 2001 Academic Press.

The Canadian commercial forestry perspective on certification: National survey results

Wilson B., Takahashi T., Vertinsky I.

Forestry Chronicle 77 ( 2 ) 309 - 313 2001.1

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：Forestry Chronicle

Certification has rather quickly emerged to become an important element within the response amalgam to public concerns about the sustainability of commercial forestry. This paper presents the results of a national survey designed to examine the attitudes of Canadian forest companies toward the various certification vehicles and the underlying basis for those attitudes. Included are the ISO 14001, CSA, FSC and FORESTCARE vehicles. The results, which include responses from 117 companies, confirm a recognized need to achieve forest certification and that the appropriate certification vehicle remains unsettled. It is also clear that the forest industry does not expect a price premium to accrue from any of the vehicles. Instead, the main reason for certification is to secure continued access to public forest lands through improved public acceptance of forest management and reduced pressure from environmental groups.
