IV. Reintegration protocol
The Tony’s Open Chain reintegration
protocol applies in the following cases:
1. A ground -truthing process resulted in convincing evidence that a farm was erroneously flagged for deforestation during the deforestation risk analysis procedure and should be reintegrated into the supply chain . 2. The farm was non -compliant , but the farmer achieved the objective of his/her remediation plan, the farm was remapped, and it is considered EUDR compliant by deforestation risk analysis. 3. There are discrepancies between the deforestation risk analysis results of supply chain partners and T ony’s Open Chain .
In the cases described above, T ony’s Open Chain will take the following steps:
1. Collect all relevant data of T ony’s Open Chain and its supply chain partners to create a shared baseline , using a dedicated form.
2. Compare methodologies and results of T ony’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.
