Company ne Registration
- Full legal entity name, registration number, ne registered address
- Trade licence anaa business registration certificate

- Geolocation coordinates ama plot biara — polygons ama plots a ɛboro hectares 4, centroids ama hectares 4 anaa ɛsua (WGS84/EPSG:4326, decimal places 6)
- Supply chain map: producer kɔ collection point kɔ processing kɔ export
- Supplier registry a ɛde producers ka batch anaa shipment biara ho
- Aggregated supply (cooperatives) no: individual plot-level data, ɛnyɛ cooperative-level summaries
- Production date anaa harvest date range ama sourcing lot biara
Sɛ eyi nni wo nsam seisei: Fi wo sourcing areas a ɛsua so. De GPS-enabled devices capture field boundaries — ɛnyɛ administrative approximations.
Deforestation-Free Evidence
- Deforestation screening results ama production plot biara, wɔ December 31, 2020 cutoff so
- Data sources a wɔde dii dwuma (sɛ Global Forest Watch, Hansen tree cover loss, Copernicus, national monitoring systems)
- Methodology documentation: sɛnea wɔde hwɛɛ deforestation-free status, resolution bɛn, ne thresholds bɛn
- High-risk plots no: corroborating evidence (multi-temporal imagery, ground-truth verification)
- Confirmation sɛ forest degradation amfiri ase wɔ production plots so efi December 31, 2020
Legality Evidence

Certifications ne Standards
- Sustainability certifications a ɛwɔ hɔ seisei (FSC, PEFC, RSPO, Rainforest Alliance) sɛ ɛwɔ a

Sɛnea wɔde checklist yi di dwuma
Step 1: Fa category biara yɛ adwuma na mark items a wotumi ma ɛnnɛ. Di nokware fa gaps ho — wo buyers bɛhu.
Step 2: Gaps no, kyerɛw sɛ ɛyɛ data collection problem (information a wɔnnye aboaboa ano) anaa documentation problem (evidence wɔ hɔ nanso wɔnhyehyɛ).
Step 3: Fa geolocation ne deforestation-free evidence di kan — eyi na lead times yɛ tenten.
Step 4: Kyekyere standardized evidence package a wotumi ma EU buyer biara sɛ ɔbisa.
Sɛnea wɔde di dwuma wɔ wo kurom
Fa ma obi nsa. Wo compliance officer anaa sustainability manager na ɔwɔ checklist yi na ne nsa ka sɛ evidence package yɛ complete ne current. Procurement staff de supplier ne sourcing data ba; processing teams ma traceability ne conversion records. Hwɛ commodity-specific checklist a ɛfa ho no mu ama operational details wɔ evidence collection ama wo commodity group.
Yɛ review schedule. Hwɛ evidence readiness mu biara quarter ne ntɛm sɛ supplier foforɔ ba mu, production plot foforɔ ba supply base mu, anaa European Commission de country risk reclassification to hɔ. Hwɛ anidasoɔ mu sɛ EU buyers de bɛma updated questionnaires ansa enforcement milestone biara — wo evidence package sɛ sɛ ayɛ current ansa na requests aba.
Kyerɛ wo escalation kwan. Evidence gap biara a ɛbɛma EU buyer ntumi nde DDS a wɔtumi di ho dwuma nto hɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde escalate kɔ export manager hɔ wɔ nnawɔtwe 48 mu. Team member a ɔwɔ so no kyerɛw gap no ne remediation timeline a wɔde to hɔ. Gaps a wɔnnya ano aduro de commercial relationships hyɛ asiane mu — buyers bɛtɔ efi suppliers a wɔtumi ma complete evidence hɔ.

Bere bɛn na ɛsɛ sɛ mesiesie evidence yi?
