The traceability of a product is an important feature to ensure that, if there is a quality problem, it is easily traceable, enabling recall. For the forestry sector, having the assurance (by a certifier) that the forest from which the raw material comes is being exploited in compliance with the law and correctly from an ecological, social and economic standpoint, differentiates the product of similar ones and adds value (FSC).
Among the impacts of properly managing this topic, we can include brand protection; quality control; added value to the final product; the production of forest products in a sustainable way; as well as the cascading of good practices through the chain of custody. On the negative side, impacts may include operational costs and/or remediation costs; non-compliance with legislation; loss of biodiversity; contamination of water resources and violations of human rights.
