DeforestaGon ResoluGon
SOY PALM OIL PAPER & PULP BEEF
"As the Board of The Consumer Goods Forum, we pledge to mobilise resources within our respec=ve businesses to help achieve zero net deforestaGon by 2020. We will achieve this both by individual company ini=a=ves and by working collec=vely in partnership with governments and NGOs”.
• A Public Private Partnership founded by the US government and CGF. Announced at the Rio+20 conference in June 2012 by former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
• Priority geographies: South America, Indonesia and Africa
• Secretariat now hosted by the World Economic Forum.
• ObjecNve: “to collecNvely sNmulate the direcNon of
capital towards sustainable, low carbon growth and away from acNviNes that undermine it”.
• Developed the ‘SoS CommodiNes Compact’, seUng
out commitments made by adopNng banking insNtuNons.
CerGficaGon and Zero Net DeforestaGon by 2020 – next steps
o PoliGcal and corporate momentum is acceleraGng
ü Corporate commitments and Paris Agreement aTer COP21 send strong signals to the marketplace
ü Out of the 250 leading companies 60% have forest-‐related policies, 7%
of these have full cross-‐commodity commitments o Key building blocks towards zero net deforestaGon in companies’ operaGons.
ü Traceability. Complex and obscure supply chains need more collaboraNve efforts
ü Scale CerGficaGon in parallel to Landscape Approaches and land use planning
ü Social inclusion and Forced Labour issues
ü PrevenGng leakages: stronger forest governance, including
strengthening current moratoria to minimize displacement of deforestaNon across commodiNes, jurisdicNons and ecosystems
CerGficaGon schemes implementaGon
ü Cer=fica=on schemes are less effecGve in cuHng deforesta=on than company-‐led moratoria
o cerNficaNon schemes “are based on consensus and have different requirements for reducing deforesta5on”, whereas the moratorium are more black and white – stop deforestaNon or lose business.
ü Challenges to SCALE cer=fica=on
o It usually operates at the produc=on unit. (Excep5ons – MSC effec5vely has the fishery landscape as a unit of cer5fica5on; group cer5fica5on models bring together producers in geographic proximity in ways that can have landscape impacts; and RSPO is pilo5ng jurisdic5onal approaches with cer5fica5on at the core. But these are s5ll excep5ons).
o Balance the need for cost effecNve and scalable models with tools that offer sufficient levels of assurance. This will require
adaptaNon and innovaNon by the standards/cerNficaNon systems as well as collaboraNon with other sustainability tools (ISEAL).
ü PotenNal Next steps: Landscape Approach (Mul5-‐stakeholder and cross-‐sectoral land use planning and management) and JurisdicNonal Approach Landscape approach using jurisdisc5onal boundaries
