Improving sustainability performance

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.

Proforest Africa has worked with Corrie MacColl Limited (a subsidiary of Halcyon Agri Corporation Limited) to improve the sustainability of its Cameroon plantations acquired in 2016. This strategic partnership which began in 2018 includes technical and field based support to Corrie MacColl’s plantations in Cameroon – Sud Cameroon Hevea S.A. (Sudcam) and Hevea Cameroon S.A. (Hevecam) – in implementing aspects of their Sustainability Policy through compliance assessments, scoping studies and the development of an environmental and social screening checklist for a proposed smallholder programme. The Proforest Africa Regional Director was instrumental in the development of Halcyon’s Sustainability Policy launched in 2018.

Proforest reviewed Sudcam’s ESIA and subsequently developed an ESMP for implementation by the company to address the identified weaknesses and gaps and guide its current operations. Currently, Proforest is providing stepwise support to Hevecam towards FSC certification.
