EU Action Plan to Halt Deforestation in Supply Chains amfori recommends that the EU provides an action plan to halt deforestation worldwide. The action plan should gather a smart mix of measures, including a regulation on deforestation due diligence in the supply chain that focuses on commodities placed on the EU market. Despite commitments from the EU, the international community, and private organisations to end deforestation by 2020, deforestation and forest degradation is still increasing. It is now urgent to protect forests worldwide in an effective way by tackling embodied deforestation.

"Consumption of products is linked to 10% of #deforestation worldwide. For this reason, we call for an EU-wide action plan to halt deforestation and forest degradation in supply chains. With amfori, we call for: - legislation with a clear scope and definitions as well as detailed #duediligence requirements - a focus on key commodities responsible for most of deforestation - going beyond legality requirements and integrates #sustainability principles - continuous improvement to be encouraged in supply chains - an action plan that is complementary to existing due diligence requirements and legislation - collaboration with sourcing countries as well with other consumer markets to facilitate sustainable trade - guidance and tools to help companies to implement an effective due diligence system in their supply chains For more information: http://bit.ly/amfori-deforestation" |
