Description

Description The initiative “Zero Deforestation Commitments from Commodity Producers and Traders” aims to eliminate deforestation from the production of agricultural commodities such as palm oil, soy, paper and beef products by no later than 2020, thereby contributing to the goal of ending natural forest loss by 2030.
Objectives
Activities The initiative is primarily focussed on avoiding tropical deforestation in South East Asia, Central and West Africa and regions of Latin America. The companies that have undertaken zero deforestation commitments can show progress in the implementation of their no deforestation policies and action plans, especially in palm oil supply chains. More than 20 global food companies have already committed to deforestation-free sourcing policies of palm oil. Three of these -the world’s largest palm oil companies - have also committed to working together on implementation.
One or two success stories achieved
