Due Diligence - Inbound (Geodata)
TABLE OF CONTENTS
To get to your "Inbound (Geodata)" Insights,
1. Go to "EUDR" in the main menu.
2. Click "Due Diligence".
3. Select "Inbound (Geodata)".
I. General Information
The EUDR task list for incoming data (geodata) is intended for companies that have to comply with the European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) as an importer. It provides you with the results of the risk analysis of the landplot provided by your suppliers for the product batches requested. It also enables you to verify the identified risks and to create a due diligence statement for each product batch, or even bundle multiple batches in one due diligence statement.
II. Structure of the Inbound Geodata Dashboard
The EUDR due diligence dashbord is divided into 2 areas:
1. KPI's
This area is to derive aggregated analyses for all relevant batches listed below. The left part, "Batch verification", shows the final result of the risk analysis for all relevant batches, whether they are compliant, non-compliant, or still to be reviewed. Whether a batch is compliant or non-compliant is determined by you based on the risk analysis. Below, it is described how to proceed in the risk analysis and how to determine the result of the verification.
The right part, "Risk categories", shows a distribution of the overall risks of your sourced batches per EUDR risk category.
2. Batch list
The second area is to enable a detailed evaluation of the risk analysis per batch.
III. Batch list structure and filter options
The batch list is divided into 10 columns with the following attributes per batch, which can be customized individually and easily using search and filter options.
List structure
- Batch ID
- HS code
- Quantity in kg or m3
- Supplier
- Country of origin
- EU benchmarking
- Supply chain risk
- Deforestation risk
- Legislation risk
- Verification
Filter options
There are multiple options to filter the list view.
Viewing landplots
The platform offers the option of viewing the plots of land behind each batch. To do this, select the map icon below the batch to open a pop-up from the map tool.
Here you have also the option to switch on the top right corner between satellite mode and light mode. In the light mode the user can make use of the integrated EU forest layer map to see the forest cover for end of 2020, the forest types for end of 2020 (in case of wood) .
Please note that the platform make use of high-resolution satellite data for the deforestation/degradation analysis, which are even more accurate than the EU forest maps, in order to avoid false positives. The risk is calculated automatically.
The platform offers the option of viewing the plots of land behind each batch also in a list view, with the deforestation risk status for each land plot and an integrated audit report. To do this, select the list icon below the batch to open a new window.
Here the users have also the option to see all land plots behind this batch with the according risk status and the option to download for free the audit report.
Viewing orders
The platform offers the option of viewing the orders behind this batch. To do this, select the package icon below the batch to open a new window.
Here the user have also the option to see all orders behind this batch and the according inbound products.
IV. Logic of the risk analysis
The risk analysis of the batches is based on EU benchmarking, which classifies the countries of origin into one of the following risk categories: High, Standard, and Low risk.
If the country of origin risk based on the EU benchmarking of the batch is low, Article 13 of the EUDR applies, and a simplified due diligence obligation applies to your company. This means that, after assessing the complexity of the batch's supply chain and the risk of mixing with batches of unknown origin or originating in countries or parts of countries with a high or standard risk, you must ensure that all relevant commodities and relevant products in the batch were produced in countries or parts of countries for which the EU benchmarking has determined a low risk. The supply chain risk is determined automatically by our platform and the deforestation risk and legislation risk is not calculated.
Via clicking on the risk result of supply chain risks, it will open up the above mentioned subcategories 1.complexity of supply chain and 2. risk of circumvention.
If the country of origin of the batch is standard or high or if risks have arisen in the supply chain, the deforestation risks of the deposited land plots and the legality risks in the country of origin must also be considered. High-resolution satellite data is used for the deforestation/degradation analysis, and integrated EUDR deforestation alerts can be used as further compliance information. The platform automatically generates an audit document for each land plot as proof. Expertly verified indices are used for the legality analysis.
The deforestation risk result is based on the maximum risk result of all the underlying land plots (see above for viewing all land plots). The legislation risk result is the median of all the relevant subcategories. Clicking on the legislation risk result will open all seven relevant subcategories.
For further information on the methodology and the underlying data sets of the risk analysis, please open the link "How are risks calculated". 
A batch must be set to compliant or non-compliant in the last column of the batch list "Verification", based on the automated risk analysis from the platform.
- We recommend in case the risk analysis for this batch has only low results to set the verification on compliant.
- We recommend in case the risk analysis for this batch has a medium result to set the verification on compliant, after you make sure this risk negligible (e.g. certifications)
- We recommend in case the risk analysis for this batch has a high result to first implement measures and set the verification on non-compliant.
