Effective collaboration
We believe that many sustainability issues can only be solved by effective collaboration and partnership. Many companies, governments, civil society organisations and communities are already committed to making forest and agricultural commodity production and sourcing more sustainable. We work with these different groups, supporting collaboration that ranges from sector-wide multi-stakeholder sustainability partnership to initiatives in individual production landscapes to help maximise their impact.
Collaboration
By acting together to address common problems within a sector, companies have greater leverage to create change. From production landscapes to downstream supply chain companies, we encourage and facilitate collaboration between companies to align objectives and work together pre-competitively.
We actively engage and lead work with initiatives like the Consumer Goods Forum’s Forest Positive Coalition of Action, the Soft Commodities Forum and the Palm Oil Collaboration Group.
Multi-stakeholder initiatives
We work with many different multi-stakeholder initiatives ranging from regional partnerships such as the Africa Sustainable Commodities Initiative that involves governments, companies and NGOs from ten countries, to long-term support for voluntary sustainability standards and roundtables such as RSPO, RTRS,RA, Bonsucro and Landscale, as well as cross-sectoral good practice initiatives such as AFi and the HCV Network.
