Agricultural Commodity Responsible Sourcing (ACRES): taking action within and beyond supply chains

Agricultural Commodity Responsible Sourcing (ACRES): taking action within and beyond supply chains

Proforest has been working with companies throughout the supply chain to support them in delivering their responsible sourcing and production commitments for over 20 years. Building on this experience, we have been constantly reviewing and improving our approach to find the most effective ways to deliver company commitments, while also maximising the positive impacts this creates for the places and people where the commodities are produced.

This briefing note sets out our latest approach, developed in collaboration with the companies and partners we work with and reflecting all we have learnt together with them as well as our own thinking. It explains the importance of working both within and beyond supply chains, combining different actions and aligning and collaborating with others to achieve change.
