AidEnvironment uses the following classification for confirmation of buyer–supplier trading supply chain linkages. In the event of multiple companies linked to one case, we emphasise the strongest relationship. All sources used and responses by the companies are included in the Compliance Checker cases.

Confirmed

• Producers/traders/operators confirm the relationship
• Transaction invoices
• Animal transportation data (GTA) confirms the direct trading relationship (beef/leather)
• Company supplier lists (e.g. public palm oil mill lists, cocoa or soy supplier lists)
• Conab trading subsidy programs (Brazil)
• Publicly available insurance data (e.g. coffee)
• Detailed shipment data (all commodities)
• Notary acts / company-registry profiles (e.g. on oil palm concessions)
• Traders have assets (warehouses) within the boundaries of the property
• Company management reports or other relevant public evidence (e.g. fiscal records, tribunal cases)

Probable

• Confirmed trading relationship with the corporate group, but not necessarily with the property under investigation
• Animal transportation data (GTA) confirms an indirect trading relationship (beef/leather)

Potential

• Beef processor is a leading commodity exporter in the municipality (e.g. Trase)
• Commodity traders have assets (silos, slaughterhouse) within a radius of 50 km from the property
