The Forest Footprint Disclosure (FFD) Project has launched its first report revealing how global businesses have come forward to disclose the details of their ‘Forest Footprints’.

On 10 February, 180 representatives of the corporate and financial sectors gathered in the City of London to hear first-hand the results of the first Annual Review of the Forest Footprint Disclosure Project.  The Review analyses the answers to questionnaires delivered by 35 international companies – all innovators have disclosed information to help assess how their activities directly or indirectly contribute to deforestation.

The report reveals to what extent the sourcing and extraction of commodities such as palm oil, soy, timber, beef, leather and biofuels impacts on deforestation – it’s a vital new measure of sustainability, and one that The Good Agency has played a key role in launching.
