The Sustainable Commodities Resource Hub
This online platform is a central hub of information, tools and resources to help your business source sustainable and legal commodities – especially those that can be linked to deforestation and conversion of natural habitats, such as palm oil and soy.
Regardless of who you are, your level of existing knowledge or position in the supply chain, this Resource Hub will signpost you to resources that will help you to make sustainable sourcing decisions.
The Sustainable Commodities Resource Hub divides resources into 5 distinct steps on the sustainable sourcing journey. It will help you to translate goals into action, and make a meaningful contribution to mitigating climate change and destruction of ecosystems. To get started, simply click on the stage that you would like to learn more about and then find your commodity of interest.
