Assessment of existing processes
We assess how your business gathers information, checks suppliers, analyses risks and records decisions. We identify established procedures, gaps and priorities for building or improving the system.
Due diligence system design and implementation
Build your process with responsibility, an understanding of applicable legislation and confidence in decisions. Supported by periodic system audits.
EUDR, Lacey Act and Brazilian environmental legislation
Our methodology follows the applicable requirements of the EUDR, the Lacey Act and Brazilian environmental legislation throughout our services. We define assessment criteria according to the product, origin, operation and destination market, connecting legal obligations with evidence and client decisions.
We establish information collection, risk assessment and risk mitigation procedures, with documented responsibilities and decisions. Periodic audits verify system implementation and guide updates as applicable requirements change.
RESPONSIBILITY · UNDERSTANDING · CONFIDENCE
Knowledge to understand. Confidence to decide.
We help your business establish and manage its due diligence process with responsibility, an understanding of applicable legislation and confidence in its decisions.
We translate applicable requirements into practical procedures adapted to your products, suppliers and markets. We support implementation, guide teams and monitor the system through periodic audits, risk reviews and continuous improvement.
Our aim is for your business to understand its obligations, take ownership of the process and maintain evidence-based decisions.
From design to ongoing review.
Understanding applicable obligations
We support understanding of requirements relating to products, operations and destination markets, including EUDR and Lacey Act matters within the agreed scope. We connect these obligations to activities and responsibilities across the business.
Procedure design
We structure information collection and verification, risk assessment, mitigation measures and decision records. We define responsibilities, assessment criteria and situations requiring clarification or additional checks.
Implementation and team guidance
We support the use of procedures in everyday operations through forms, records and monitoring tools. We guide teams to understand both their tasks and the reasoning and criteria behind each decision.
Periodic system audits
Through periodic audits, we check procedure implementation and record consistency. We assess evidence, identify nonconformities and follow up on corrective actions and their effectiveness. Frequency reflects risk, supply chain complexity and system maturity.
Review and continuous improvement
We monitor process development and support revisions as suppliers, products, markets and applicable requirements change. Audit findings guide adjustments and improvement priorities.

A system connected to your operations.
Chain of custody analysis provides evidence about material origin and movement. Audits verify documents, operations and procedures. Training prepares teams to apply the criteria in everyday work.
The due diligence system brings these activities together in a management routine with defined responsibilities, documented decisions and ongoing review.
More understanding. More control. More confidence.
Due diligence needs to go beyond organising documents. Your business needs to understand available information, recognise risks and know when to investigate further or take additional measures. Living Forest supports this work so your business can manage the process with autonomy, responsibility and evidence-based confidence.
