Driving forces affecting the adoption of certifications in the forest-based industry: a systematic literature review
No full textSeveral forest certification schemes have become increasingly popular over the last few decades as voluntary mechanisms to tack sustainability in the forest-based industry to an environmental, social, and economic paradigm. This study aims to systematically review the economic literature on the main motivational factors affecting the adoption of Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) certifications in order to perform a broadly theoretical assessment of this research field and identify the most relevant driving forces affecting the adoption of third-party certification in the forest-based industry. Results reveal that the most relevant mechanisms are linked to both market pressure and the opportunity to communicate social and environmental commitment. Other driving forces, such as moral and legal ones, have been little explored, although they play a key role in the entrepreneurs' choices, emphasising the need to explore more deeply the behavioural intention of forest owners and managers, adopting different theoretical lenses or developing new conceptual frameworks

No full textBlockchain technology can be applied in different economic sectors as it can bring radical change to the industries in which it is implemented. This chapter analyses how this technology can be applied by businesses to achieve sustainability goals. The scholars have mainly focused on analysing the technological development of blockchain applications by analysing them from a predominantly IT and engineering point of view and have shown that blockchain is able to bring numerous benefits to the industries in which it is adopted. The aim of the chapter is to illustrate, through case studies, how some companies are adopting blockchain to achieve sustainable goals. Analysis has shown that research on the topic is still at an early stage, but evidence suggests that the technology will be adopted by a growing number of companies and individuals. In view of the fact that the study aims to offer one of the first insights into the adoption of blockchain technology in support of sustainability, it is believed that its findings may be of interest to both academics and practitioners
