3. There are discrepancies between the deforestation risk analysis results of supply chain partners and Tony’s Open Chain.
In the cases described above, Tony’s Open Chain will take the following steps:
1. Collect all relevant data of Tony’s Open Chain and its supply chain partners to create a shared baseline, using a dedicated form.
2. Compare methodologies and results of Tony’s Open Chain and its supply chain partners a. High-level review: Review how each provider collects and processes data, including validation steps, analysis, and input data types. Consider data accuracy, the definition of forest used, and the resolution of imagery gathered as evidence. b. Farm-level review: Examine individual plots’ status: historical high- resolution images, forest overlap, alerts, and farm level result reliability, as well as results of ground-truthing/field visits, if relevant. Tony’s Open Chain will share the findings from steps 1-2 with its supply chain partners, offering its assessment of which methodology provides the highest level of confidence, and will request their input and perspective on each case accordingly. If, following completion of steps 1 and 2, partners unanimously agree on the methodology which gives the greatest confidence: • The methodology with the greatest confidence has been identified and is therefore acted upon. • If the methodology concludes the farm is compliant to EUDR, the farmer is reintegrated into the Tony’s Open Chain supply chain and can deliver in the following season. • If the methodology concludes that the farm is non-compliant to EUDR, the farmer remains excluded from the Tony’s Open Chain supply chain.
