As the key milestone of Our challenge - besides 2020 approaches, how can encouraging ever more companies commitment translate into to join this reporting initiative - is corporate action? There is no to turn words into action. one single solution, as this report clearly shows, but a vital step for companies is to tackle the global drivers of deforestation.

Forests are critical for keeping the global average temperature rise Next year—2015—will be an important one for all who share an interest below 2°C, providing one of the cheapest and most effective ways of in a sustainable future. International agreements on the post-2015 removing carbon from the atmosphere and therefore mitigating climate development agenda and on climate change offer a unique opportunity to change. In the past few decades the world’s forests, two-thirds of set the global economy on a more sustainable and equitable trajectory. which are managed by humans, have absorbed nearly a third of the annual CO e released into the atmosphere from fossil fuels1.

We now need business to move from commitments to action with a sense of urgency, something leading companies are already recognizing. 162 162 companies with market capitalization of US$3.24 trillion* demonstrate an understanding of the imperative to tackle deforestation by responding to CDP’s forests program.

An unprecedented number of such commitments have Checklist: common elements of corporate commitments been made in 2014. CDP believes this commitment and the progress towards it should be transparently disclosed in a standardized format Any commitment must be worth the paper it is written on. The importance to investors and broader stakeholders through CDP’s forests program. of making a strong, actionable and time-bound commitment on deforestation is made clear in ’s ratings of corporate ‘zero deforestation’ commitments as part of their Tiger Challenge14. The strongest company commitments reported to CDP include:

Barriers and challenges

Implementing actions to tackle deforestation is undoubtedly challenging and relies on a number of different actors to drive progress and collaborate. The key barriers our reporting companies identify as limiting their progress are identified below.

Government regulation Standards and certification Internal organization When companies disclose Governance and regulatory compliance is still There are particular challenges reported with regard CEO and board level buy-in and ongoing support is problems they are encountering, seen as weak in many of the countries in which to the compatibility of multiple existing standards; needed within companies to ensure that all parts of the commodities are produced. Economic and the time, effort and bureaucracy required for the business, including procurement and finance, this gives investors greater incentives are also considered generally lacking certification. The same is true for national regulations, are actively aligned. Companies report that there confidence that management is for supporting sustainable supply and uptake of where respondents appeal for governments to do needs to be a lot more training, support and sustainable products. There is an onus on bodies more to consolidate, coordinate and streamline the investment in the supply chain and its organization. facing reality, rather than seeking such as the United Nations, and regional and requirements placed on companies.

There is also a lot of work to be done to improve practice systems and risk approaches is crucial. the cross-sector systems and tools which support traceability and policy compliance and this is difficult for companies to do in isolation. 26 27 5 Leadership

Companies should be striving for leadership in their work towards removing commodity-driven deforestation, which will help unlock the many opportunities available to those working on sustainable commodities. The vanguard of leadership is being driven forward as companies innovate and demonstrate new instances of best practice.

The hallmarks of leadership: An ambitious and specific roadmap of targets CDP’s forests program assists us CDP would like to congratulate the leaders in this year’s to meet the company commitment, including forests information request. The definition of a leader interim targets; in this space is one that has evolved and one that will in understanding how companies continue to change as increasing numbers of companies Quality work to build capacity in the supply innovate and push the boundaries of what is currently chain and clear supplier improvement plans; perform against their peers and what thought of as best practice.

That being said, there are a number of multi-stakeholder groups and NGOs; and common elements that we see in the companies also home to a wealth of knowledge reporting to CDP’s forests program which we would Engaging customers to create demand and consider to be the current ‘hallmarks of leadership’: differentiate their product. and expertise on sector and An ambitious commitment across all forest-risk CDP works to transform the way the world does commodities with a good scope, including but not business to prevent dangerous climate change and commodity issues, which we greatly limited to provisions for HCV, HCS, no peatland protect our natural resources.
