Book (stand-alone)OECD-FAO Business Handbook on Deforestation and Due Diligence in Agricultural Supply Chains 2023This handbook was developed by OECD and FAO to help companies embed considerations on deforestation and forest degradation into their corporate due diligence procedures. It is informed by FAO’s extensive work and experience on halting deforestation and forest degradation and promoting responsible governance of tenure. The handbook builds on the leading international, government-backed standards on supply chain due diligence and responsible business conduct: the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the associated due diligence framework set out in the OECD-FAO Guidance for Responsible Agricultural Supply Chains and the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct. This handbook demonstrates how the OECD-FAO Guidance can be applied to address deforestation by contextualizing existing recommendations and directing users towards helpful sources of due diligence information.

Book (stand-alone)Forest monitoring for transparent commodity supply chains 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Over the last two decades, consumers have grown more aware of the environmental and social impacts of commodity production. Many companies have started to address those concerns by adopting codes of conduct or making public commitments to improve their business and sourcing practices. Some countries have complemented this voluntary approach with regulatory frameworks to strengthen and accelerate changes in business practices and ensure positive outcomes at scale. Obligations for due diligence, including rules on transparency and disclosure, have been imposed on supply chain actors. There has been a special focus on the risk of deforestation associated with the production of specific agricultural commodities that are traded internationally. The paper starts out by providing more background on relevant regulations. It then lays out the geospatial data needs, including an assessment framework, and provides information on how current country capacities can support emerging requirements. Finally, the paper identifies initial lessons learned from applying the assessment framework.This paper was developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) through the AIM4Forests: Accelerating Innovative Monitoring for Forests programme, thanks to the financial support from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
