As part of the master’s thesis, the country-specific FSC certification standards (Germany, Brazil, USA) are compared and the influence of various stakeholder groups (companies, environmental organizations, trade unions, among others) on national standard-setting is examined. The findings will contribute to the evaluation of the FSC certification of the Hessian state forest (in cooperation with HessenForst).
Methodology: Document analysis and expert interviews. Portuguese language skills are an advantage but not required.
