Our Story

TFA is a global public-private partnership in which partners take voluntary actions, to reduce and ultimately halt the tropical deforestation associated with the sourcing of commodities such as palm oil, soy, beef, and paper and pulp. TFA fosters cross-sectoral collaboration based on a common and ever-deepening understanding of the barriers and opportunities linked to deforestation-free supply chains.

Jurisdictions

Stopping deforestation requires action from many actors in a production landscape –the government, producers and processors, local communities and civil society organizations.

Demand-Side

Emerging markets represent an increasing size of global trade for forest risk commodities.

Collective Supply Chain Action

The production of soft commodities is responsible for approximately 40% of tropical deforestation. Sole dependency on supply chain interventions by individual companies is not enough to address this.
