PowerPoint Presentation

[Audio] In this video, we will show you how to trace the timber origin area in order to use the sourcing guide map..

[Audio] Step 1, it is important to collect key forest-level documents from your suppliers especially the removal pass or the harvesting license..

[Audio] Step 2, from there, you can try and identify the area of harvest back to the forest or plantation as much as possible, such as tracing all the way back to the sub-district level..

[Audio] In this removal pass sample, we can see that the timber harvested was transported and checked at the Forest Checking Station located in KOMPT XXX. On another section, the Removal Pass was signed off by a forestry officer representing the District Forestry Department of Sik and performing duty in the sub-district of Sik. Now we have identified the sub-district as Sik in this example..

[Audio] For example 2, this is how a harvesting license document typically looks like. It will give you the information you need..

[Audio] In the document, you can find the district and the sub-district of the logging compartment. In this example, we have identified the sub-district as Keratong..

[Audio] Last but not least, cross-check other supply chain documents to ensure no inconsistencies with the conclusion that the sub-district identified is the " area of harvest." If inconsistencies in supply chain documents are found, more information may be collected for further due diligence or communicate with your supplier..

[Audio] That's it! Check out video 2 for the next steps! Thank You!.
