supply chains can be verified with GRAS
Consideration of social
sustainability Indicators
Protection of primary forests
Protection of high carbon stock
areas (e.g. peat and wetlands)
Protection of highly biodiverse
areas

GRAS provides an objective and consistent risk analysis. Audits become more
efficient and credibility will be improved
Benefits from the use of GRAS for certification:
• Audits become more efficient, effective and secure
• Increase of transparency and credibility
• Proved commitment of sustainability obligation and zero-deforestation
• Consistent and objective risk analysis by auditors based on better information through the
use of GRAS prior to audit

Biodiversity information are combined inside GRAS into No Go Areas and Risk
Areas
No Go Areas Risk Areas
• High priority for nature conservation areas
• Not suitable for sustainable production of
biomass
• Partially protected and/or potentially
biodiverse areas
• Agricultural activities may be allowed

Land Use Change: GRAS uses the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) to verify
potential land use change
• GRAS EVI algorithm is based on 15 years record of
MODIS satellite image data
• Each curve represents the variation over time of the
Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI)
• EVI highlights the land cover variations. It is computed
using the surface reflectance of the Red and NIR
(near infrared) bands available in MODIS satellite
images
• One MODIS-Pixel represents an area of 250 x 250 m
• One can identify typical EVI patterns over time, each
one representing specific land uses
• Thus, clear breaks in regular patterns can be identified
as land use change (LUC)

GRAS is an independent and powerful tool to support sustainability certification and
other purposes
• GRAS is an easy to use, one stop solution provider for sustainability assessments of
agricultural and forestry activities and for the implementation of zero deforestation
commitments
• GRAS provides geo-referenced data on land use change, biodiversity, carbon stock and
social indices
• The combination of EVI and Landsat in GRAS provides a powerful tool for detecting even
the most recent deforestations
• GRAS is independent. It can be used for certifications in ISCC, RSPO and other schemes
• GRAS can be applied also for purposes other than certification, e.g. to assess sourcing
areas, expansion areas, to facilitate due diligences etc.
