Proforest helps AFi to launch new e-learning platform to support corporate sustainability performance
We are very excited to announce the new e-learning platform launched by AFi today that was developed with support from Proforest. Companies and those working with the private sector please take a look!
The Accountability Framework initiative (AFi) has launched a new an online training resource to aid companies in achieving their ethical supply chain goals. Using the technology powering Proforest Academy, the AFi e-learning platform offers a range of educational modules that provide an accessible and engaging way for company staff to grow their knowledge on achieving supply chains free from deforestation, conversion, and human rights violations. Drawing from the Accountability Framework’s good practices, the platform is designed for companies that produce or source agricultural or forestry commodities. It is also a valuable resource for those working to support companies on their sustainability journeys.
The platform hosts modules for each of the Accountability Framework’s seven action areas, as well as other key topics. The five modules released today comprise an introduction to the Accountability Framework and the first four action areas. These action areas include setting and strengthening supply chain goals; establishing company systems; managing commodity production; and managing supply chains.
Additional modules are in development and will be released throughout the year. They include modules for the action areas on collaboration; monitoring and verification; reporting progress; as well as modules on other topics, such as the AFi Self-assessment Tool.
