Consumer goods giants plot course to deforestation-free supply chains
A coalition of 20 multinational consumer goods firms have developed a roadmap to eliminate commodity-driven deforestation, after pledging last year to deliver a forest-positive impact.
Commodities covered by the coalition include palm oil (pictured), soy and forest products like wood and paper
The roadmap has been produced by members of the Consumer Goods Forum’s (CGF) Forest Positive Coalition of Action. Launched at Climate Week NYC six months ago, the initiative involves corporates that are dependent on forest-related key commodities, including Nestle, Mars, Carrefour and Asia Pulp & Paper.
According to the roadmap, 2021 will be “an integral year” for the initiative. It will see much early-stage work on issues including supplier engagement and education and discussions with policymakers internationally.
