FSC Indicator:

4.4.8

Non-Conformity (or Background/ Justification in the case of Observations):

The FME adopts measures to attenuate the negative social impacts that are caused by the operational

activities. Nevertheless, it was realized that some of them are not being sufficient to attenuate the

impacts, such as dust that is generated in the village known as Chapecózinho. The community was visited

and it was realized that the people who live in the main street where trucks enter and exit suffer with the

dust.

Corrective Action Request (or Observation):

The measures that are defined under 4.4.7 shall be proportional to the impacts that had been identified.

Additionally, they shall be added to the forest management planning & operations – including social-

interest projects, if pertinent.
