The assessment seeks evidence of legal compliance, traceability, document integrity, and the absence of negative socio-environmental impacts.
Detailed verification makes it possible to identify signs of illegality or risks related to the origin of the wood, the chain of custody, and the operators involved.
This thorough analysis strengthens Due Diligence and provides importers with the assurance that they are purchasing wood of legal origin, with low risk of links to environmental crimes, document fraud, or rights violations.
Confirms whether there is evidence that the area is operating in accordance with the Sustainable Forest Management Plan.
Verifies the authenticity and accuracy of origin documents, ensuring that forest origin documentation is correctly linked and that dates are consistent.
Evaluates whether there is any overlap or proximity to Indigenous lands or vulnerable communities.
The Risk Mitigation Program is a strategic initiative aimed at ensuring that all wood products traded by the company are in full compliance with the European Union Deforestation-free Regulation (EUDR).
This program is essential to prevent the purchase and commercialization of wood originating from illegal sources or associated with deforestation. Whenever risks are identified that cannot be considered negligible, the company is required to implement appropriate mitigation measures to eliminate or reduce those risks to acceptable levels.
In other words, in addition to requesting further information and supporting documentation, external audits may be carried out when necessary, ensuring that the systems in place are operating in accordance with the established legal requirements.
