 Reporting practices of State Forest Enterprises in EuropeAnna Liubachyna, Laura Secco and Davide Pettenella Forest Policy and Economics, 2017, vol. 78, issue C, 162-172 Abstract: Forests provide a wide range of public services to communities and, for this reason, public authorities in many countries have a relevant role both as land owners and as providers of raw material and public services. This article focuses attention on State Forest Enterprises (SFEs) based in Europe. They manage state-owned forest areas, which amount to more than 40% of all forest cover in the EU and hence their performance influences the development of the whole sector, maintaining forest resources stability and productive potentials. This should be done through stakeholders' inclusiveness etc., so it is necessary to monitor their activities and further impacts. The common way to do this is through reporting practices. Information disclosed in reports can provide insights into the level of transparency, accountability and openness. Thus, this article aims to analyse the reporting systems of SFEs in terms of sustainable forest management and corporate responsibility.
