❓ How can investors tackle deforestation in the palm oil industry? Deforestation remains a significant challenge in the palm oil industry, but as investors, we have the power to drive meaningful change. Here’s how we can play a crucial role: 1. Request Environmental Disclosure: Leverage the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) to request environmental data from companies within the palm oil supply chain. Join the CDP Non-Disclosure Campaign to amplify your impact through collective action with fellow investors. 2. Assess Risks and Performance: Utilize the CDP Forests Champion Program to evaluate the risks and performance of your investment portfolio companies in achieving no-deforestation commitments. 3. Engage Proactively: Maintain continuous and proactive engagement with portfolio companies, government entities, and private sector stakeholders to advocate for sustainable practices within the palm oil industry. 4. Establish a No-Deforestation Policy: Develop a comprehensive investment-firm-level no-deforestation policy. This will set clear criteria for understanding and promoting the stance of your portfolio companies on deforestation. By implementing these strategies, we can significantly mitigate deforestation risks and foster a more sustainable and responsible palm oil supply chain. Together, let's drive the change towards a greener future! 🌳💼 Source- CDP Learn more 👉 https://lnkd.in/ejEf_QjZ #Sustainability #ResponsibleInvesting #DeforestationFree #PalmOilIndustry #GreenInvestment

📢 EUDR - EU regulation on deforestation and forest degradation ➡️ latest #ESG bulletin by JDP is now available!🌳 🌎 The European Union Regulation on Deforestation (#EUDR) is a landmark piece of legislation with the goal of reducing global deforestation and forest degradation. The regulation came into force on 29 June 2023 and sets strict obligations for companies that import or bring onto the EU market products related to deforestation, such as soy, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, timber and derived products. 💡The regulation requires companies to carry out due diligence on their supply chains to ensure that the products they source do not contribute to deforestation. 💡It covers a wide range of sectors and can have a significant impact on both large corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises. 💡The key obligations under the #EUDR were initially to apply from 30 December 2024. However, the European Commission has suggested postponing the entry into force of these commitments. If accepted by the European Parliament, the new deadlines will be as follows: 👉🏽 30 December 2025 for large companies 👉🏽 30 June 2026 for SMEs   📗 Find out more in our latest #ESG bulletin ➡️ https://lnkd.in/deU4_g5Q Feel free to ask questions and comment 💬   #ESG #EUDR #deforestation #regulation #EU #sustainability #SupplyChain #DueDiligence #newsletterJDP
