摘要
Now in its 12th year, the Forest 500 report looks at over 270,000 publicly available data points to evaluate and assess actions taken by 500 companies in the global trade of nine forest risk commodities: beef, cocoa, coffee, leather, palm oil, pulp and paper, rubber, soy and timber. These nine commodities are in the scope of the EUDR.
Each company is a powerbroker for at least one of the nine commodities, meaning it has significant influence on deforestation through its production or sourcing activities. The production of these commodities was linked to 68% of global deforestation from 2013 to 2023.
Verifying deforestation and conversion-free supply chains relies on transparent disclosures. For this reason, Forest 500 assessments rely solely on public disclosures on company websites.
