Supply Chain
Ensuring compliance and confidence through transparent, responsible supply chains.
What we do
Transparent, Responsible Supply Chains with Verifiable Data
We map supply chains, assess risk, and implement due-diligence controls that satisfy regulatory requirements and customer expectations without slowing operations.

Due Diligence, Supplier Screening, Risk Assessment, and Traceability
We map supply chains, assess risk and implement due-diligence controls so you can evidence responsible sourcing without slowing operations. Typical tasks include supplier screening, sustainability checks (e.g., deforestation-free/legal/ethical), and building the data trails needed for customer or regulatory reporting. Documentation is kept tidy and verifiable, making it straightforward to trace materials across each stage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should traceability systems be designed to prevent double counting and fraud, including supplier qualification and transaction checks?
Qualify suppliers against scheme requirements, such as maintaining approved‑supplier lists and collect declarations.
We recommend conducting a risk-based due diligence on every supplier—check origin, waste/residue status, licences and any sanctions/deforestation flags—and keep an approved list you review regularly. Back this up with clear contracts (accuracy warranties, right-to-audit, change notifications, evidence-retention and flow-down of scheme rules) to cut errors at the source.
Day to day, use transaction-level controls: unique IDs, three-way matching of physical, commercial and sustainability records, timely reconciliations (including UDB/PoS where required) and segregation of duties—so the trail stays complete, consistent and trustworthy.
What are the benefits/limits of digital traceability solutions versus manual processes?
RED sets sustainability criteria for agricultural biomass, forest biomass and waste/residues. Feedstocks must not originate from land with high biodiversity or high carbon stock and must respect relevant waste/residue definitions. Indirect land‑use change (ILUC) is addressed at EU level through feedstock categories and safeguards; operators must use recognised evidence to demonstrate conformance for their specific pathway under the chosen scheme.
How to manage risk and documentation for UCO, animal fats (Category 1–3), and mixed waste streams.
Confirm legal classifications and permitted uses, retain origin/collection records and any attestations, and apply enhanced checks for higher‑risk categories. Traceability must begin at the point the material first qualifies under the scheme and remain continuous to the claim.
How to make credible claims to customers (on‑product, B2B documents, marketing) without breaching scheme rules.
Ensure claims reflect the certified scope, product group and evidence you hold. Avoid overstating carbon benefits and keep marketing language consistent with scheme and national guidance.
Double counting protections and “counting towards targets” vs corporate GHG claims what’s the difference?
RED compliance and counting towards national targets are governed by EU/national rules, while corporate GHG claims follow reporting standards. Use clear boundaries and avoid claiming the same environmental benefit in multiple contexts.
Cross‑border transfers of attributes: what should be checked before making claims?
Confirm scheme acceptance, recognition in the receiving country, and that chain‑of‑custody remains intact. Retain transport and customs documents linking the consignment to the sustainability claim.
What is the role of Guarantees of Origin (GOs) and how do they interact with RED proof‑of‑sustainability claims?
GOs support disclosure of renewable origin; RED sustainability proofs demonstrate compliance for transport/energy targets. They are separate instruments and must not be used to make overlapping claims.
How should returns, rework and stock adjustments be handled within mass‑balance rules?
Record all movements within the correct product group and timeframe, with clear references back to the original consignment and claim.
