WHAT THE REPORT COVERS
From origin to conclusions. A documented chain.
The report brings together chain of custody analysis, verification methodology and the evidence supporting its conclusions. It connects the extraction site with storage, processing and export stages, supporting risk assessment and due diligence.
Coverage and conclusions reflect the agreed scope and the evidence available for each project.
Origin and chain of custody
Introduction, audit rationale and methodology; identification of extraction projects and analysis of supply chain links.
Satellite imagery and alerts
Comparison of forest dynamics after 2020 using multiple indices as analytical tools, including assessment of deforestation alerts.
Storage yard, sawmill and exporter
Analysis of operational stages, supply chain actors and records connecting material throughout the chain.
Routes and volume accounting
Route mapping, flowchart and volumetric analysis in m³, with a statement of remaining volume credit.
Conclusions and due diligence
Consolidation of findings, regulatory conclusion, due diligence statement and final statement, grounded in the evidence reviewed.
Licences and supporting documents
Appendices containing extraction project, storage yard, sawmill and exporter licences, together with export licences for native timber species, where applicable.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS
Forest dynamics, over time.
We compare a 2020 reference with later imagery. Multiple indices support interpretation according to the area and purpose of the assessment.
Establish the context
Area delineation and selection of available reference imagery.
Observe change
Comparison across dates and interpretation of multiple indices, considering seasonality and image quality.
Connect with ground evidence
Cross-reference with documents and other evidence to identify changes and questions requiring investigation.
Clarity at every step.
Understand the context
Products, origins, suppliers and markets. Every analysis starts with your business.
Connect the evidence
Documents, material flows and geospatial information, according to scope.
Identify the risks
Gaps and inconsistencies presented clearly, with questions for further review.
Guide the next steps
An organised report and next steps to support informed decisions.
