New data show that the number of corporate commitments to reduce deforestation driven by agricultural commodity supply chains continues to grow. Yet, their scope and ambition remain variable.
Though reporting requirements and transparency efforts are improving, companies still face challenges tracing commodities to the source.
Collaborative civil society initiatives, such as the Accountability Framework, seek to harmonize definitions and develop tools that enable commitments to be implemented and monitored.
Jurisdictional and landscape approaches indicate actors’ willingness to collaboratively address the issue of deforestation in supply chains, while a number of pilot programs hold promise for the sustainable transformation of the agricultural sector.
