The Chain of Custody is our reporting process which documents the flow of verified products to ensure the Land to Market seal and any claims made in the marketplace maintain their integrity. This process, managed centrally by the Land to Market Integrity Services team, allows us to provide members with full supply chain transparency for all labeled products while also conducting volume reconciliation throughout the year.
Each time you purchase or sell Land to Market verified products, you are required to complete the "Report a Purchase" or "Report a Sale" form. You will be able to see a history of all your previous submissions in the tables on your dashboard as well as being able to keep track of when your submission has been approved.
For longer or more complicated supply chains with several different companies taking ownership of verified materials and processing, L2M offers a short one-page traceability report for brands to ensure integrity behind the seal as well as complete farm to finished goods flow of materials. See a sample traceability report here.
