Netherlands, the productivity lead based in Ghana and the productivity lead based in Côte d’Ivoire.
A plan on how the farm will be remediated is designed by the triangle. This includes a set of key performance indicators to be used to monitor remediation progress. It is submitted to the farmer for their validation. An agreement on the remediation plans must be reached between Tony’s Open Chain and the farmer. If no agreements can be made after 3 revisions of the proposal, the productivity and environment triangle close the case for lack of consensus, and the farm remains excluded from the Tony’s Open Chain supply chain. 3. Consequences: exclusion or remediation If, following the ground-truthing process, EUDR non-compliance is confirmed for a farm: ▪ The farm remains excluded from the Tony’s Open Chain supply chain. ▪ In case an agreement is reached between Tony’s Open Chain and the farmer on a remediation plan, Tony’s Open Chain will provide the agreed support and monitor the progress of the remediation effort. The timeframe and frequency of monitoring will be defined. ▪ Remediation activities usually take place in the period of April 1 st to July 1 st , which is the most appropriate time to plant trees in both countries. Remediation encompasses any activity to restore a degraded environment, educate and raise awareness on the environmental laws and regulations, or provide farm management support in response to deforestation detection. Remediation can include: reforestation (planting trees in deforested areas to restore forest cover), tree regeneration efforts (encouraging the natural regrowth of trees through practices like assisted natural regeneration, where existing native flora is nurtured to recover and thrive), or the implementation of sustainable agricultural practices (i.e. agroforestry). Remediation aimed at responding to social or human aspects may encompass education and training programs to local communities, supporting fair land tenure and rights, facilitating access to social services, or implementing community-based conservation projects to promote sustainable resource management. ▪ If the farmer-dependent key performance indicators are reached in the expected timeframe (for example, 80% of re-planted trees survive within 4
