| Summary: | Abstract The article is devoted to the study of the problems of the formation of sustainable development institutions for depressive lumber cutting territories (in the case of the Republic of Karelia). One of these institutions is forest certification, which obliges forest companies to formulate economic strategies in accordance with social responsibility criteria. The obtained results indicate that today forest companies do not set the implementation of social policies regarding the local population as a key goal. The economic interests of business and their management decisions regarding forest management are not related to the problems of the local population. However, this is not an obstacle to obtaining a forest certificate. The Forest Certification Institute has not yet performed a compensatory function, which actualizes the development of new forest policy instruments. |
