Deforestation-free supply chains are achievable – but still too rare, says CDP
Companies have made the most progress in timber and palm oil supply chains.
New CDP data shows that 64 companies have managed to eliminate deforestation from at least one supply chain – but transparency around forest and land impacts remains too low overall.
CDP and the Accountability Framework initiative (AFi) looked at hundreds of company disclosures made last year through CDP to gauge the level of transparency around deforestation and land conversion. In total, 881 companies reported their impacts on at least one commodity supply chain, but just about half of them (445) disclosed their progress towards deforestation-free supply chains.
