Keep Learning In the next module, we will discuss how to proceed once the DCF Assessment Tool is completed and all the recommended actions are generated. Also, we will see a suggestion for how to present the main results. Let’s continue to the next module!

What You’ll Learn in Module 3 We will show you how to proceed after the DCF Assessment Tool is completed and all the recommended actions are generated. In this module you’ll learn how to: • Present the main results after the DCF Assessment Tool is completed • The main next steps that should be conducted after presenting results from the DCF Assessment Tool

About the Summary of Assessment Results To support companies moving forward in combating deforestation and conversion in their supply chain, the Summary of Assessment Results provides a template that consolidates and presents recommendations from the DCF Assessment Tool. The Summary of Assessment Results template also includes slides to present the DCF Implementation Toolkit process.

Presenting the DCF Implementation Toolkit The first part of the Summary of Assessment Results presents the DCF Implementation Toolkit stages and material structure.

Executive Summary of Main Recommendations The second part of the Summary of Assessment Results allows the user to present an executive summary of the main recommendations for each element of supply chain management from the “Findings & Recommendations” tab of the DCF Assessment Tool. Here the user should summarize the “Findings & Recommendations” tab and make any necessary adjustments to the language to increase the level of alignment with company practices. This prioritization should be conducted considering: (i) company level of ambition, (ii) company financial and human resources, and (iii) level of urgency of each recommended action.

What You’ll Learn in Module 3 The third part of the Summary of Assessment Results allows the user to present a detailed view of the results in the “Findings & Recommendations” tab. Following the same structure as the DCF Assessment Tool, this part of the template is divided into the 5 elements of supply chain management. For each of these key actions, there will be one slide to present the key findings (current practices and challenges) and another slide to present recommended actions according to current company practices. Here the user should summarize the recommended actions in the DCF Assessment Tool “Findings & Recommendations” tab and make any necessary adjustments to the language to increase the level of alignment with company practices.
