Other topics include the role of legislation and certification, and what businesses can do to bridge the gap when it comes to achieving deforestation free supply chains.

The Rainforest Alliance of course is an international non-profit organisation, that is building an alliance to protect forests, improve the livelihoods of farmers and forest communities, promote their human rights, and help them mitigate and adapt to the climate crisis.
