In production areas, we focus more on upstream companies, such as producers and traders, as well as on-the-ground initiatives, such as landscape and jurisdictional approaches. We engage with government processes where appropriate to support change on the ground.
In the international arena, our teams focus more on downstream companies, such as manufacturers and retailers, and international frameworks for supply chain action on responsible production and sourcing. We work extensively with organisations like the Consumer Goods Forum (CGF) and the Tropical Forest Alliance (TFA) to support global initiatives and frameworks for action.
We actively create spaces for our teams to regularly meet, both virtually and in-person, to share our knowledge and build our friendships. Our staff are encouraged to spend time in other offices and regions to develop our understanding of the commodities, supply chains and places that we work in.
