How do we collaborate to curb deforestation?

The document emphasizes the need for palm oil companies and governments to adopt sustainable sourcing to meet consumer demand, citing Wilmar International Limited's "No deforestation, no peat and no exploitation" policy as a model. It asserts that achieving sustainability requires shared responsibility across the value chain, including the financial community, and investment in capacity building to overcome implementation challenges on the ground.

• Many companies manufacturing end-user goods have set deadlines between 2015 and 2020 to source 100% sustainable products due to shifting consumer preferences toward responsibly produced goods.
• In December 2013, Wilmar International Limited implemented a "No deforestation, no peat and no exploitation" policy covering its entire palm oil supply chain. Implementation progress includes supply chain mapping, risk assessments of operations and key suppliers, the establishment of a grievance procedure, and the socialization of policies to suppliers.
• Curbing deforestation in the palm oil industry is a shared responsibility requiring concerted efforts from all value chain actors, with the financial community identified as having significant leverage over industry business conduct.
• Significant obstacles to sustainability remain in the coordination and ground-level implementation of strategies, necessitating the investment of time and resources to build capacity across supply chains.
