a revision of a farmer’s compliance status following the initial deforestation alert.
The EUDR mandates that some of Tony’s Open Chain’s supply chain partners must (i) maintain traceability data for the plots where the materials are produced, (ii) provide evidence that these plots have been deforestation ii) ensure that cocoa production on each plot adheres to the relevant legal frameworks regarding forest protection, labour rights, and human rights.

of a farmer.
o If supply chain partners agree to modify the farm’s status to deforestation -free based on Tony’s Open Chain ground -truthing evidence: the farm will be reintegrated to Tony’s Open Chain supply chain. o If supply chain partners disagree to modify the farm’s status: Tony’s Open Chain will explore whether re -mapping of the farm is feasible — based on causes of the non -compliance status —to ensure that farmers are not unfairly excluded. ▪ In the case that a farm is remapped and the newly mapped plot is considered deforestation -free, the farm will be reintegrated into Tony’s Open Chain’s supply chain and can deliver cocoa in the following cocoa season . ▪ In the case that remapping is not done, the farm remains excluded from the supply chain. If a farm is deemed to be deforestation -free because the deforestation alert was due to a technical error (including an error in the mapping) ▪ The farm and farmer will benefit from the following remediation: reintegration of the farm and farmer in the Tony’s Open Chain register. ▪ If the technical error was caused by Tony’s Open Chain, and the farmer was not allowed to deliver during the main or mid -crop cocoa seasons, the farmer will receive monetary compensation of EUR 100 to support him/her in hiring labour services or accomplish ing other farm -related needs.
