What? Tony’s Open Chain uses the
Deforestation Risk Analysis
results to
determine next steps.
When? Before the cocoa season begins
Overview of consequences
• If the deforestation risk analysis states a farm is compliant to EUDR The farm remains in Tony’s Open Chain ’s Farm Register for the season and is allowed to deliver . • If the deforestation risk analysis states a farm is non -compliant to EUDR The farm is removed from the season’s Farm R egister and is not allowed to deliver. The ground -truthing and remediation protocol ( see section III below ) is enacted. • If the deforestation risk analysis results suggest a farm has a high future risk of deforestation, based on the probabilistic risk analysis A visit to the farm is conducted to develop a mitigation plan aimed at reducing the risk of deforestation . Mitigation includes adopting sustainable land -use practices , protect ing forests and their ecosystems or making direct investment (i.e., inputs) to improve cocoa production .
4. Reconciling discrepancies with Supply Chain Partners
What? While Tony’s Open Chain and its supply chain partners share a common Farmer Registry, they employ different Deforestation Risk Analysis providers. Utilizing multiple systems within the same value chain enhances compliance verification and improves the acc uracy of deforestation risk assessments thanks to a multi -faceted verification process. Tony’s Open Chain process, will compare its data against that of supply chain partners.
, as part of this
When? 1 October – 1 January
Key steps in the process:
• Compilation of non -compliant farms across all partners : Tony’s Open Chain will compile a list of all EUDR-non-compliant farms : from its supply chain partners
