Through our Forests and Agricultural Markets Initiative, the foundation has been supporting World Resources Institute to improve transparency and enable measurement of financial institutions’ and companies’ progress toward deforestation-free commodity commitments.
At the World Economic Forum, 20 of the largest commodity producers, traders, manufacturers, consultants and retailers launched a new partnership with research institutions and banks to monitor deforestation and manage sustainability throughout the supply chain. The partnership, led by WRI’s Global Forest Watch team and supported in part through Moore’s funding, will create an online global decision-support tool to increase transparency and traceability.
