This exploratory research of four Canadian cities, conducted in 2003, compares the impact of forest certification labelling and advertising on the purchase intent of wood and paper products by end-use consumers. Telephone survey results indicate that Canadians are concerned about the environment, have positive attitudes towards certification, and are willing to alter their purchase habits to favour certified wood and paper products. Respondents indicated that labelling would more likely influence their purchase decision than advertising. They also indicated a lack of awareness regarding forest certification, and that advertising was the preferred strategy to increase general awareness among consumers. A segment of consumers was identified, representing 70% of the sample, which is highly concerned about the environment, willing to seek out certified products, and favours labelling as a source of information to assist with their purchase decisions for certified forest products. Key words: forest certification, eco-labelling, green advertising, consumer purchase intent, green consumers

This report is based on the second readership survey completed by the Society for Applied Anthropology Publication Policy Committee (PPC). The first focused on Practicing Anthropology and was designed to elicit feedback regarding this publication's initial editorial policies and relation to the SfAA. The present survey was requested by the SfAA Executive Committee at their December 1980 meeting. The PPC was charged with providing feedback to the Executive Committee to help with their deliberations regarding: (1) the reappointment of the Practicing Anthropology editor at the spring 1981 Edinburgh meeting; and (2) the selection of an editor for Human Organization for the fall 1981 meeting in Los Angeles. While the former goal was achieved, the schedule for selecting an HO editor was advanced, thus precluding the PPC's latter charge. This final report has been prepared in the belief that it contains data relevant to the general planning and administrative functions of the SfAA Executive Committee, the PPC, and the two journal editors. The report furthers completes a PPC commitment to present the survey results to the SfAA membership.
