| Abstract: | This study reveals that managers of Australian managed investment schemes understand sustainable corporate governance as a
mix of financial, natural environment and social outcomes. A number of managers who were interviewed prioritized financial
aspects of business performance but acknowledged that sustained financial performance is only possible if positive natural
environment outcomes and positive social outcomes are also sustained. In this context, the managers expressed qualified support
for the development of small-scale forestry in Australia. Some implications of these findings for small-scale forestry in
Australia are discussed, including how opportunities exist for small-scale forestry proponents to collaborate with firms that
operate managed investment schemes to lobby governments for further policy support that assists the sustainable development
of both sectors. |
