Terpercaya

The Terpercaya Initiative worked on ways for districts and provinces in Indonesia to demonstrate when commodities like palm oil are produced sustainably and in compliance with the law. It aims to generate credible information and analysis, and to build the understanding and trust needed to promote sustainability, trade, and cooperation.

Sustainable cocoa initiative

The sustainable cocoa initiative brings together representatives of West African countries that account for 70% of global cocoa production – as well as representatives of the European Parliament, EU Member States, cocoa growers, private sector and civil society – to advance sustainability across the cocoa supply chain through collective action and partnerships.

Deforestation-free soy trade

In the context of the French national strategy on imported deforestation, a multi-stakeholder working group was formed to propose a practical mechanism to reduce deforestation risks carried by soy imports from Latin America.
