The initiative, now part of the Carbon Disclosure Project is designed to create transparency and improve companies’ understanding of the “forest footprint” of their direct operations and the operations they finance. The "forest footprint" focuses on production, use, and trade of key commodities linked to global deforestation: timber, soy, beef and leather, palm oil and biofuels. Every year, a number of companies are invited to disclose information about policies related to the sustainable supply chains for these commodities, and the actions they are taking to manage risks.
