Introduction to 3Keel Commodity Reporting 2025




Welcome to the introductory guide to this year's Collective Commodity Reporting Process with 3Keel. We are an independent sustainability consultancy with expertise in commodity supply chains and we have been running this reporting process for eight years.

This year's reporting covers cocoa, coffee, palm oil and soy used to produce own-brand products for the participating retailers over the period of January 1st 2025 to Dec 31st 2025.

In November we ran a webinar explaining more about the process and why your customers are requesting data. If you didn't get the chance to attend, here is a link to the recording: 

Why do I have to report?

Your customers are currently working towards achieving verified deforestation and conversion free supply chains. This reporting process is a valuable step in evidencing progress towards these commitments by improving supply chain traceability. As 2025 is a key year for both voluntary commitments and legislative requirements, gathering accurate and detailed supply chain data is now more important than ever.

If you have been asked to report on soy, please note that the scope of the reporting covers both soy contained as an ingredient in food and soy contained within animal feed. This is because around 75% of soy imported to Europe is used in feed. If you supply animal products but do not have access to information on soy in feed, the 'Packer' and 'Non Livestock Producer' tabs in the soy declaration form can calculate your soy footprint based on the volumes of animal-based ingredients you sold to your customers in the 2025 calendar year.

Which companies are participating?

Below is the full list of companies taking part in the reporting process for this year and the commodities they are requesting data on. If you believe you should be reporting for any additional customers, please let our support team know.


Missing Surveys:

  1. If you are missing surveys for commodities which you should be reporting for any of these retailers for the 2025 calendar year, please reach out to support.3keel@mondra.com referencing 'Missing or Incorrect Surveys' and we shall assign these to you.

Incorrect Surveys and Exclusion Requests:

  1. If you are out of scope for this years reporting and have been asked to complete a customer survey, please file an exclusion request for the relevant commodity surveys by answering 'no' to the relevant validation questions in your portal. This will be either accepted or rejected by the customer at which point you will be notified. 

Soy: What are the scope parameters for this years reporting?

Below are some guidelines for determining whether your products fall within the scope of the soy reporting process:


  • By products: out of scope (except animal collagen).
    • See Table 1 below for some common examples
  • Compound ingredients: out of scope
    • Ingredients bought by suppliers ready made, e.g. chocolate chips in a cookie
    • Please note that compound ingredients still fall within the scope of the palm, cocoa, and coffee reporting processes.
  1. Animals not fed on soy e.g. 100% grass-fed cattle or wild game: in scope 
  1. Your customer(s) have asked suppliers to to give positive affirmation that soy is not included in animal diets.
  2. For a supplier supplying exclusively products from animals that have not been fed soy at any point in their life cycle, they can request exclusion prior to completing the volume declaration, and will be asked to state a soy-free diet as the reason for exclusion being requested.
  3. For a supplier supplying a mix of products from animals that have been fed soy and those who haven’t, they will be asked to report on the volumes for livestock products from animals that have not been fed on soy, but to report the FCR and/or soy content in feed as 0.
