7.4 Complaints

7.4.1 Appropriate mechanisms are in place for resolving complaints and disputes relating to forest management operations, land use rights and work conditions.

Preparation of possible information:

        Organizations should provide a clear grievance channel that is easily accessible to employees, labor, local communities, Indigenous peoples and other stakeholders to resolve grievances and disputes related to forest management practices, land tenure and working conditions.

Therefore, the organization should prepare the following data:

1.        A complaint handling procedure that explains how to file a grievance, how to investigate the grievance, and how to make a decision.

2.        Keep a record of all grievances, including the content of the appeal, the outcome of the investigation, the handling decision, etc.
