FSC and <strong>the</strong> CBs have failed to provide guidance to<br />
safeguard HCVFs. This is compounded by <strong>the</strong> lack<br />
<strong>of</strong> auditing rigour by CBs and by <strong>the</strong> failure <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> FSC<br />
and <strong>the</strong> ASI to monitor and correct noncompliance by<br />
<strong>the</strong> CBs and forest companies.<br />
<strong>Greenpeace</strong> urges <strong>the</strong> FSC to address this report’s<br />
recommendations in order to streng<strong>the</strong>n its system<br />
and uphold its credibility. It is time for <strong>the</strong> forest<br />
companies, <strong>the</strong> CBs and <strong>the</strong> FSC to stop destroying<br />
Sweden’s old-growth forests under <strong>the</strong> cover <strong>of</strong> forest<br />
certification and for Sweden to live up to its reputation<br />
for managing forests sustainably under effective FSC<br />
certification.<br />
