Forest Stewardship Council nesses together to develop solutions that promote responsible management of the world’s forests.” 305 Partnerships in forest governance Ingrid Visseren-Hamakers’ and Pieter Glasbergen’s paper on “Partnerships in forest governance” (2006), which describes five major forest certification schemes, states that “The FSC is the only scheme in which social and environmental interests have their own formal place in the organization. In other partnerships (…) the relative influence of civil society is smaller. It could even mean that standards are adopted without the support of specific interest groups in civil society (…).” 306 More participatory forest policy process in several countries Michael Richards summarizes (2004) 307 that “Positive impacts have been obtained from the FSC national standard-setting processes. These have facilitated a more participatory forest policy process in several countries, most notably Bolivia, Brazil and South Africa. The benefits include increased acceptance of community representatives in local and national policy fora; raised awareness of the potential of SFM; a more participatory and decentralized forest policy process; better policy definition resulting from discussions of certification standards; and increased company and supply-chain transparency (Bass et al. 2001). A key question for countries like Brazil and Bolivia is whether these national certification processes stimulated key policy, regulatory 305 Guillery, Phil; Haslett Marroquin, Reginaldo and Hampton, Maree (2007): Ford Foundation Funding to the Forest Stewardship Council: A Qualitative Review of External Impacts.

3. Impact on forest policy: 3.1 FSC’s governance is unique and institutional reforms, or whether the latter preceded certification and were essential pre-conditions for its progress. The answer is probably a mixture of the two.” 308 3.1.2 Political impacts of voluntary standard initiatives Participants of an international conference on “impacts of voluntary standards” organized by the German Ministry for Development BMZ et al. (2006) summarized “In general it was felt that still too little was actually known about the impacts on the political level, although certain broad themes could already be identified. Evidence of this kind of impact was demonstrated by analyzing standard initiatives such as forest certification and round tables for the implementation of social standards. In particular processes of forest certification amongst others entered into public procurement policies, stimulated more participatory policy processes up to sometimes even influencing policy change and raised the profile of key issues (i.e. land tenure) in political debate.” 309 Multi-sectoral development policy services “The impacts of forest certification are not limited to the certified enterprises. The whole process of agreement and binding implementation of standards has institutional impacts on organizations, behavior and culture throughout the entire sector, and beyond this in society it-self. Forest certification supports sustainable development in a particularly effective and obvious way. This development policy benefit should be much more strongly reflected, embodied and harnessed in the further conceptual and political development of forest certification. (…) Further development of forest certification following an institutionally diverse and stepwise approach could offer a viable chance of reducing conflict energies and accumulating cooperation energies.” (Burger, Hess & Lang, 2005) 310 308 Richards, Michael (ed.)
