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 practi ces 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 encompas s 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 mana gement. ▪ If the farmer -dependent key performance indicators are reached in the expected timeframe (for example, 80% of re -planted trees survive within 4 years) the farm will be remapped and reintegrated into the Tony’s Open Chain supply chain, provided that the new ly mapped farm is confirmed as deforestation -free by our external Deforestation Risk Analysis providers. ▪ If the farmer -dependent remediation key performance indicators are not reached in the expected timeframe, the farmer remains excluded. However, there is a possibility for reintegration if progress towards the KPIs are observable the following year. If not, the case will be closed permanently. If, following the ground -truthing process a farm is believed to overlap with protected areas without legal permission: ▪ The farm remains excluded from the Tony’s Open Chain supply chain. ▪ Tony’s Open Chain proposes remediation support to the concerned forest authorities, with the objective of restoring the encroached protected area. ▪ If no agreement is reached with forest authorities by July 1 st , the case is closed. If the forest authorities agree with the support, Tony’s Open Chain enacts the remediation activity in the protected area, in collaboration with forest authorities. If, following the ground -truthing process, a farm is deemed to be compliant with EUDR and does not overlap with protected areas without legal permission: ▪ The findings will be submitted to Enveritas and Tony’s Open Chain’s supply chain partners (as per the reintegration protocol in section IV). These partners will be requested to consider the ground -truthing evidence provided by Tony’s Open Chain and confirm whether it is sufficient to warrant
