Brief description of the data offering
Forests & Finance assesses the finance received by over 300 companies directly involved in the beef, soy, palm oil, pulp and paper, rubber, timber and mining supply chains, whose operations may impact natural tropical forests and the communities that rely on them in Southeast Asia, Central and West Africa, and parts of South America.
It also provides a detailed policy assessment of 200 of the largest banks and investors operating involved with the selected forest-risk commodities sectors, as well as a number of case studies, reports and investigations that expose the role that finance plays in the social and environmental impacts caused by forest-risk commodity companies.
