Summary
Forests are at the heart of our economy and environmental challenge. Companies and financial institutions stand to lose billions in revenue if they don’t begin managing risks associated with deforestation. This Global Forests Report from CDP outlines the results from the disclosures of over 1000 companies, showing where companies stand and how they think. The report results show companies are recognising the risks from deforestation and making commitments, but they still remain largely unaddressed. The report stresses that companies must begin to manage these risks and that they, alongside investors, face significant financial loss over the next decade if they fail to do so.
