1) I would look at the following documents:
– Deforestation and a supply chain policy
– Procedures that:
— Map the supply chain,
— Assess the risks of deforestation, including accessing satellite imagery with adequate resolution.
— Assess the risks of human rights breaches associated with the products, goods, services, suppliers,
— Identify the risks of deforestation and of human rights breaches, as well as the relevant risks –
— Define the risk management plan to strive to minimise and/or mitigate the negative impacts.
— Identify and have access to applicable legal requirements and other requirements that ensure that relevant regulations and legal requirements are duly met
— Address non-conformities in its supply chain management system and that of its suppliers in relation to their compliance with the requirements of item 4.0 of this Standard
And evidence that a traceability and chain of custody system exists and provides veracity of its chain of custody information.
2) I will expect to see written or digital documents that ensure the due diligence was properly executed, and there is a plan to work with those suppliers to bring them to a traceable level in the medium term.
