Deforestation Risks in Supply Chains

Agricultural commodities like palm oil have complex supply chains and represent a major driver of deforestation in the tropics. Firms, investors, insurance companies, and organizational stakeholders increasingly demand more transparency in the governance of such supply chains. A lack of appropriate governance carries operational, reputational, and regulatory risk for agri-commodity companies and their buyers. This project aims to identify where deforestation risk is introduced along the supply chain in order to intervene and mitigate deforestation risk.
