Sertifikat Lestari PT. Diamond Raya Timber: Aset atau Beban?
Abstract: Several
environmental non-government organizations and green parties pursue various
strategies to promote sustainable management of forest resource. Due to the
increasing environment awareness of some segments of timber users, they have
established a certification body and developed a set of criteria and
indicators, against which the performance of participating forest companies
will be assessed. Early experiences in Indonesia showed that certification
received warm welcome from several forest companies, as there is no question
that they saw the attraction of being certified. However, it appears that their
enthusiasm was dampened by the experience of a certified company. Certification
might have been seen as more of a liability than an asset as the economic benefits
from market access became less clear, while the costs became more apparent. The
use of rigid standards might result in “negative” responses from forest
companies. More proactive approaches might encourage the companies to join
certification.
