FLA conducts an Independent External Verification (IEV) on a farm or cluster of farms where FLA had previously conducted an Independent External Monitoring (IEM) assessment and after the company’s remediation plan has been completed.
FLA uses the additional assessment to verify the effective implementation of the company’s corrective action plan and assess if the actions have led to sustainable results.
During the 2021 hazelnut harvest, an IEV assessment was conducted in Olam / Ofi farms in Ordu, where an IEM was conducted in 2017.
