The Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change published a framework setting out five expectations for companies to address deforestation and related climate, nature and human rights risks across their operations and supply chains. Designed as a common benchmark for investor engagement, the framework calls on companies to make public commitments, assess their exposure, transform operations and supply chains, participate in collaborative landscape protection and disclose progress annually. The expectations consolidate existing guidance rather than create additional reporting requirements. They align with frameworks including the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures and International Financial Reporting Standard S2, supporting the integration of deforestation into companies’ transition planning, governance, risk management and disclosures.
