Profile
As one of the world’s largest conservation organisations, WWF frequently works with companies across commodity supply chains to drive transformational change, including to combat and reverse nature loss and degradation. WWF draws on the Accountability Framework’s definitions and guidance in:
- Helping companies craft or update policies to address deforestation, conversion, and associated threats to human rights.
- Guiding companies toward appropriate tools for assessing their production or sourcing risk, communicating expectations to and engaging suppliers, monitoring and verifying progress, and reporting results.
- For companies with a forest footprint, the Forests Forward program supports improved forest management, transition to responsible sourcing, and execution of forest-based interventions.
- For companies sourcing soy, beef, or leather from South America, the DCF Toolkit tailors AFi guidance to support deforestation- and conversion-free (DCF) supply chains in this context.
- Complementing actions to address supply chain risk with scaled nature-based solutions in key production landscapes to address systemic challenges and support protection, restoration, and improved management of priority landscapes around the globe.
- Identifying and executing strategic communications to share progress and advance the deforestation- and conversion-free agenda.
