Key areas to understand
Evidence-led
Traceability and provenance
Share origin and lot context when records support it; clarify the level of traceability available and any gaps.
Wamunyu does not present these principles as third-party certification or as quantified environmental or social performance. Buyers seeking specific standards, audits, or indicators should identify them in the enquiry so availability and scope can be checked.
Product and origin claims should be accurate, current, and supported by the appropriate evidence.
A clear process
How to approach this topic
01
State the requirement
Name the standard, traceability level, social or environmental topic, and decision the information will support.
02
Identify the product and origin
Link the question to a commodity, supplier relationship, lot, location, and relevant time period.
03
Review available evidence
Confirm what records, policies, audits, or partner information are available and who issued them. Agree appropriate wording: Use claims only within the scope, validity, and permissions of the supporting evidence.
