- Description of risk: Document falsification is a significant issue in Brazil's forestry sector and land tenure system, affecting both natural forests and plantations. It involves the manipulation or forgery of official documents to illegally exploit forest resources and circumvent environmental regulations. Additionally, this practice contributes to illegal land grabbing, deforestation, and conflicts over land ownership. — [bron](<https://open.fsc.org/entities/publication/0ec35ac3-2501-44b0-a2c7-7a6e80580b4c>)

- Risk mitigation measure: Verify through the review of the associated documents and field inspections that suppliers providing controlled wood are not involved in corruption, bribery, or fraudulent practices, and that effective anti-corruption and reporting mechanisms are implemented and maintained.

For example:
1. Document review
a)	Anti-corruption and anti-bribery policies are implemented and include mechanisms such as a whistleblower or anonymous reporting channel accessible to employees and stakeholders;
b)	Reporting mechanisms allow confidential or anonymous submissions without fear of retaliation and are communicated internally and, where relevant, to suppliers;
c)	During supplier evaluations, it is verified whether suppliers have their own anti-corruption and reporting policies or rely on the Certificate Holder’s reporting mechanisms, recognizing that non-certified suppliers may use the Certificate Holder’s system;
d)	Supplier information and official documentation (e.g. permits, licenses, authorizations) correspond with publicly available records and do not indicate inconsistencies or irregularities;
e)	Harvesting and transport permits (e.g. AUTEF, AUTEX, DOF) are cross-checked for authenticity and consistency across systems;
f)	Public records, media sources, and internet searches do not indicate unresolved legal disputes, sanctions, or allegations related to fraud, bribery, or corruption involving suppliers.

2. Field inspection
a)	Workers within the Certificate Holder’s organization and supplier organizations demonstrate awareness of anti-corruption policies and reporting mechanisms applicable to them;
b)	Supplier staff demonstrate knowledge of anti-corruption requirements and the ability to identify and report unethical behavior during interviews; — [bron](<https://open.fsc.org/entities/publication/0ec35ac3-2501-44b0-a2c7-7a6e80580b4c>)
