UN Forum on Business and Human Rights event, 26th November

Home

Proforest is a unique, non-profit group. We support companies, governments, civil society and other organisations to work towards the responsible production and sourcing of agricultural and forest commodities.

What we do

At Proforest we’re passionate about helping people produce and source agricultural and forest commodities responsibly. That’s why we support companies throughout supply chains to have positive social and environmental outcomes in the places where commodities are produced.

Our focus

Our work supports agricultural commodity production and sourcing that can deliver positive social and environmental outcomes. This means working with producers and supply chains to have positive impacts for the people and places where commodities are produced.

We are delighted to be at the UN Forum on Business and Human Rights in Geneva on Tuesday 26th 5.35-6.00pm Room XXIV to launch a new Converged HREDD assessment tool and guidance framework, developed through a collaboration between AIM-Progress, The Consumer Goods Forum, Fair Labor Association, and Proforest. Designed to be flexible across industries, this tool aims to support businesses in standardising HREDD practices, streamlining assessments, and reducing supplier fatigue through a converged, open-source approach.

This initiative reflects a three-year journey of development, testing, and valuable input from major FMCG companies and suppliers. The tool is available here and we hope it will support setting the groundwork for consistent, best-practice due diligence globally.

Together, let’s make sustainable, responsible business the norm!
