Abstract With the growing interest of international organisations in environmental activities, it is often spoken openly about the need for measures to ensure sustainable management of resources provided by ecosystems which should be adopted by the society as a whole. The society can participate in such activities by means of direct or indirect support. While a direct support entails active participation in creating such activities, an indirect support is shown by appraising such activities in the form of financial or a non-financial assistance. In short-term visions, however, the global societal interest in environmental aspects is losing importance and its effect is only perceived as a temporary stimulus (see one-off subsidies). Supposing some activities related to environmental interests were anchored in law, it would represent a significant progress in this area. An interesting example of such activities which have the legislative basis is certifications. This article reports on the results of the research surveys of the FSC and PEFC certification systems conducted in the Slovak Republic and in the Czech Republic. The criteria for the examination of the obtained data mainly include the interest in the products with the added value in the form of the environmental aspects of the products and the criteria which affect consumers' buying decisions.
