In an effort to encourage ecologically sustainable forestry practices, an international organization started issuing certifications to wood companies that meet high ecological standards by conserving resources and recycling materials. Companies that receive this certification can attract customers by advertising their products as eco-certified. Around the world, many wood companies have adopted new, ecologically friendly practices in order to receive eco-certification. However, it is unlikely that wood companies in the United States will do the same, for several reasons.
First, American consumers are exposed to so much advertising that they would not value or even pay attention to the eco-certification label. Because so many mediocre products are labeled “new” or “improved”, American consumers do not place much trust in advertising claims in general.
Second, eco-certified wood will be more expensive than uncertified wood because in order to earn eco-certification, a wood company must pay to have its business examined by a certification agency. This additional cost gets passed on to consumers—American consumers tend to be strongly motivated by price, and therefore they are likely to choose cheaper uncertified wood products. Accordingly, American wood companies will prefer to keep their prices low rather than obtain eco-certification.
Third, although some people claim that it always makes good business sense for American companies to keep up with the developments in the rest of the world, this argument is not convincing. Pursuing certification would make sense forAmerican wood companies only if they marketed most of their products abroad. But that is not the case,American wood businesses sell most of their products in the United States, catering to a very large customer base that is satisfied with the merchandise.
The article talks about if the american wood companies are interested or not in to obtain international eco-certifications. The writer states that exit a low probability that those corporations are attracted to get these certifications. however, the professor says that, unlike that many people think, that could be appealing for american companies and refutes each reason presented, casting doubts in the author’s beliefs.
Firstly, the reading points out that the individuals in the USA are bombed with uncountable advertisements all the time, and consequently, they do not pay attention to those stickers. Notwithstanding, the orator disproves this point by saying that the american costumers differentiate between the different indicators. Furthermore, they have special considerations toward international certifications and independent agencies, which have an elevated prestige among the american costumers.
Secondly, the writer argues that the high cost of those eco-certifications could act as a demotivator for american costumers, which are moved primarily by the price. Nonetheless, the lecturer contradicts this point ,noticing that is true that the price is an important incentive for them, but when the price is in the range of the 5 percent, they check others characteristic of the product like certifications, because they are aware about the necessity to take care fo the enviromenment.
Finally, the writer remarks that do not to get these certifications is valuable for american companies, owing to they sell the majority of their products inside the country. however, the lecturer deftly points out the weakness of this point saying that, the essential in not where the products are sold, but the competitions that they could face from foreign companies which are offering certified products.
