What documentation demonstrates local material sourcing in BERDE?

• A. Documentation showing regional sourcing of materials.
• B. Plans showing supplier locations.
• C. No documentation is required.
• D. Only the material cost is needed.

Answer: (A)

Locally sourced materials are verified by showing where the materials actually come from. In BERDE, this means providing documentation that proves the origin is within the project region or nearby area, demonstrating regional provenance and supporting the goal of reducing transport impacts and boosting the local economy. The documentation showing regional sourcing of materials does this directly, giving clear evidence of origin. Plans showing supplier locations only indicate where suppliers are based, which doesn’t prove where the materials were produced or originate. No documentation would fail BERDE’s requirement to verify local sourcing, and relying on material cost ignores provenance entirely.
