There is a growing expectation for private sector action on deforestation by the investment community, seen in increasing investor interest and investment—including shareholder resolutions.
While business has traditionally valued forest products, the value of the services forests provide has typically been less understood. It is critical that businesses understand their impacts and dependencies on forests, both directly and indirectly in the value chain. This, in turn, can help enable the creation of targeted, relevant strategies that create opportunities, minimize risk, and reduce costs.
This deck discusses deforestation and conversion issues, explains key figures, and provides preliminary recommendations for how business can tackle deforestation issues.
