How to use the NDPE Implementation Reporting Framework with the AFi

This week the Accountability Framework Initiative has published new guidance which clarifies how companies can use the NDPE Implementation Reporting Framework to report on the sustainability attributes of commodity volumes in alignment with the Accountability Framework.

Over the past decade, hundreds of companies have made commitments to ethical and responsible supply chains, and many are making progress toward implementing and fulfilling these commitments. However, in order to be held accountable to those commitments and recognized for their achievements, companies must be able to demonstrate progress towards these goals. Accurate, thorough, and timely reporting allows commodity buyers, investors, financiers, and other stakeholders to make decisions based on reliable information. This creates clearer incentives for responsible commodity production and trade.
