LIVING FOREST / CONSULTING

Knowledge that guides decisions.

Traceability, evidence and a practical perspective on forest products.

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS

Understand before deciding.

Material origin, supply-chain actors, species, volumes and documents at each step. We look for consistency across these elements and identify information requiring clarification.

We compare satellite imagery from different dates to assess forest dynamics after 2020. We use multiple indices as complementary tools, selected according to the area and purpose of the analysis. Interpretation considers image quality, seasonality and resolution alongside documentation and other available evidence.

We organise and assess origin and traceability evidence, identify gaps and help prepare the next due diligence steps. Scope depends on the product and destination market.

Product description, species where known, origin region, suppliers, volumes and destination market. From there, we define the required documents and scope.

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.

01

Origin and chain of custody

Introduction, audit rationale and methodology; identification of extraction projects and analysis of supply chain links.

02

Satellite imagery and alerts

Comparison of forest dynamics after 2020 using multiple indices as analytical tools, including assessment of deforestation alerts.

03

Storage yard, sawmill and exporter

Analysis of operational stages, supply chain actors and records connecting material throughout the chain.

04

Routes and volume accounting

Route mapping, flowchart and volumetric analysis in m³, with a statement of remaining volume credit.

05

Conclusions and due diligence

Consolidation of findings, regulatory conclusion, due diligence statement and final statement, grounded in the evidence reviewed.

06

Licences and supporting documents

Appendices containing extraction project, storage yard, sawmill and exporter licences, together with export licences for native timber species, where applicable.
