"We have sourcing agreements with our corned beef suppliers that the material is sourced from geographically restricted areas to minimise deforestation risk. We have engaged frequently with our suppliers to understand their supply chains and the measures in place to reduce the risk of deforestation. Processes and checks have been put in place to verify the implementation of these agreements [...] Working with our technical teams we gather assurance from our corn beef suppliers that our beef is not connected to deforestation [...] We have agreements in place that our corned beef is sourced from farms outside of the Amazon biome in order to minimise the risk of beef associated with deforestation of the Amazon from entering our supply chain [...] Our suppliers of corned beef from Brazil have public commitments in place not to source from farmers engaged in deforestation of the Amazon biome after 2009. All direct farms are also assessed by our suppliers to ensure they are not associated with illegal deforestation. We have an agreement in place to geographically restrict the direct farms in our corned beef supply chain to outside of the Amazon biome to minimise the risk of deforestation associated with our supply chain"

In their 2019 CDP Forests report, Sainsbury's report that 100% of their palm oil is traceable to the country of origin. "Our product specification system provides the country of origin of the palm derivativesused in our own brand products. We also collect information on the palm oil refiners in our supply chain through this system. In addition, for the vast majority of our volume wesource certified material through supply chains that have chain of custody whichsupports, to an extent, traceability. Key players in our supply chain are verticallyintegrated and we are therefore able to a trace a significant portion of our palm usageback to below the country level. We are in regular discussions with other key supplychain suppliers who have traceability programmes in place back to mill and plantation."

Reported within their 2019 CDP report - "We have two main systems. Our product specification system holds information on our timber/paper products and packaging and provides information on our immediate supply chain. We are then able to ascertain our board mill suppliers for packaging from this information. Our second system is our due diligence system (to comply with EU timber regulations) which provides traceability for all our own brand products back to mill for paper products and forest for timber products. Finally, for much of our volume we source certified material through supply chains that have chain of custody which supports, to an extent, traceability."

"In response to this challenge we have committed to achieving zero-net deforestation by 2020 and ensuring that our Sainsbury’s Own Brand products do not contribute to global deforestation. Soy is a key part of this and we are working hard to ensure soy in our supply chains is not linked to global deforestation." [...] "We have been members of the RTRS since 2011. We are also a member of the Retail Soy Group which is represented on the Board of Governors of the RTRS. Through the RSG we have supported the improvement of the RTRS standard."

In their 2019 CDP report, Sainsbury's reports that 51-60% of its soy is traceable to the country of origin. "We have two systems in place. Our product specification system provides information on country of origin for the soy ingredients used in our own brand products. In addition, for animal feed we send questionnaires to our suppliers to ascertain this information. During the reporting period we worked with 3Keel to map our total usage of soy (including animal feed for own brand proteins - both primary and further processed) as well as its country of origin and region of origin where possible."

Excludes some product lines, including soy used as animal feed - "Sainsbury's total soy usage has been referenced including soy used as an ingredient inour own brand products and soy used as animal feed for our own brand proteins (bothprimary and further processed). Obtaining information for soy used as animal feed forfurther processed proteins is particularly challenging given the complicated nature of thesupply chain."
