Unilever is working with the World Resources Institute to bring an end to tropical deforestation through a new partnership that will increase transparency in agricultural commodity supply chains.
Unilever and its suppliers will draw on the resources of Global Forest Watch (GFW) Commodities, a project of Global Forest Watch, which offers an online monitoring and alert system that enables better forest management.
GFW Commodities has a suite of online tools that are used to monitor forest cover change around supply areas and processing facilities such as palm oil mills. In using these tools, Unilever will be able to make better informed sourcing decisions and improve its reporting of performance against sustainability commitments.
