How to accelerate implementation of zero deforestation commitments
While there are certainly a lot of commitments around, actual progress towards achieving these goals remains by-and-large slow. Translating commitments into actual practice on the ground – in palm oil, soy, timber and pulp and paper, and cattle products supply chains – is a highly complex matter. Collaboration is increasingly regarded as the only practical route to progress – involving business, the NGO community, financial institutions and government. And everyone can do more to push the pace of commitment implementation.
Debating what companies and their stakeholders can do are:
- Tom Bregman, project manager, Forest 500, Global Canopy Programme

- Sylvain Augoyard, corporate social responsibility, BNP Paribas
