STAKEHOLDER TOOLKIT

The Stakeholder Toolkit is a curated list of resources, frameworks, and initiatives designed to help financial institutions, investors, and companies manage deforestation risks and integrate nature-related financial disclosures into their decision-making processes.

• The toolkit identifies several frameworks and guidance documents for financial disclosures and risk management, including the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) 2017 and 2021 guidance, which provide tools to "enable stakeholders to understand better the concentrations of carbon-related assets in the financial sector and the financial system’s exposures to climate-related risks."
• Various specialized tools and reports are highlighted for managing deforestation risk, such as the Ceres (2020) Investor Guide to Deforestation and Climate Change, which serves as "a framework for investors to help them understand and engage on deforestation-driven climate risks across their portfolios."
• The document lists initiatives focused on transforming supply chains and financial portfolios, such as the Investor Initiative for Sustainable Forests (IISF), which "aims to transform industry practices to eliminate deforestation from cattle and soy supply chains," and the Finance Sector Deforestation Action (FSDA) initiative, which seeks to "accelerate action on commodity-driven deforestation and net-zero, particularly by 2025."
• The toolkit references data-driven resources for monitoring forest risks, including Forest 500, which ranks "the most influential companies and financial institutions in forest-risk supply chains," and TRASE, which provides "free online tools to increase understanding of the trade and financing of commodities to enable companies, financial institutions, governments, and civil society organizations to take practical steps to address deforestation."
