Since 2014, Forest 500 has assessed the companies and financial institutions most exposed to deforestation risk through their supply chains and investments on the strength and implementation of their commitments on deforestation and human rights. In a pivotal year for climate and nature, Global Canopy’s 11th annual Forest 500 report reveals new data on the most influential companies in the deforestation economy.

This podcast is taken from our skillshare webinar that explores how journalists and researchers use the data to identify the key actors driving deforestation and how the Forest 500 screening tool allows users to search the deforestation exposure risk of the most influential companies and financial institutions.

You'll hear from:

• Rob Soutar, The Bureau of Investigative Journalism (moderator)
• Emma Thomson, Forest 500 and Tracking Lead, Global Canopy
• Katalin Csatadi, Writer/Researcher, Ethical Consumer
• Heather Clancy, VP, Editor at Large, Trellis Group

Floresta 250 – Pecuária, relatório que apresenta o novo conjunto de dados da Global Canopy, revela que grandes empresas e instituições financeiras estão falhando na definição e implementação de políticas de combate ao desmatamento relacionado às suas cadeias de suprimentos.

A pecuária é a atividade que mais causa desmatamento no mundo, e o Brasil é o país responsável por quase 60% do desmatamento global causado por pastagens.

O relatório avalia as 175 empresas e 75 instituições financeiras com maior influência no desmatamento impulsionado pelas cadeias de suprimentos da pecuária no Brasil. Ele avalia as organizações com base na robustez e implementação de seus compromissos sobre desmatamento, conversão de ecossistemas e abusos de direitos humanos associados.

Este podcast é a versão editada em áudio do webinário de lançamento que revelou os principais achados da avaliação de base do Floresta 250, realizado em dezembro de 2024.
