| is.evaluation.notes | This study aims at exploring the main challenges faced by companies to be become FSC certified. It analyze non-conformities established in Brazilian plantations according to their spatial distribution in Brazil and to the principles and thematic they refer to. | |
| is.evaluation.notes | Some conclusions are drawn with little support from the data:- "Findings from the Kruskal-Wallis tests suggest that auditors tended to identify similar NCs, regardless of the geographical region, of the type of forest": only 10% of audits have been done in native forests which is very little to perform a comparison.- "Spearman Correlation tests indicated significant relationships between certified forest area and non-conformities with FSC Principles 4 and 7. The meaning of this relationship is unclear.": the hypothesis being tested is not clear and as the authors mention the meaning of the relationship is unclear. It is thus not preferable to use such a conclusion without a clear explanation or hypothesis. | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | "The occurrence of NCs was found to be most frequently associated with FSC Principles 4 (26,07%), 6 (21,82%) and 8 (13,72%), which are related to the themes “Community Relations and Worker's rights”, “Environmental Impact” and “Monitoring and Assessment”, respectively. Many NCs were triggered by aspects of forest planning, operation and monitoring, which altogether accounted for 42.91% of all NCs." | |
