IF webinar: Deforestation-free supply chains: Addressing 2025 target dates and future trajectories
17 June 2025
Featuring COFCO International and McDonald's, this Innovation Forum webinar explored how companies can address 2025 target dates and set a path for credible post-2025 ambition and action.
2025 is a milestone year for corporate action on deforestation and ecosystem conversion. As companies with agricultural and forestry supply chains approach 2025 target dates, there is growing urgency to deliver on commitments and demonstrate progress.
In this webinar, the Accountability Framework initiative (AFi) and Innovation Forum explored what meaningful action looks like in the months ahead, and beyond. The discussion examined key questions facing companies in 2025:
- How to manage 2025 target dates and any remaining gaps towards meeting commitments
- How to convey clear and credible ambitions, milestones, and plans post-2025
- How to communicate performance and progress
Hear from leading companies on how they are adapting strategies to drive real transformation across agricultural and forestry commodity supply chains, and what actions are needed to scale impact further.
This session is essential for sustainability leads, procurement professionals, legal and compliance teams, and corporate strategists working to address deforestation, nature loss, and associated business risks.
