Forest IQ - the new data platform helping drive deforestation-free portfolios
Show Notes

Forest IQ is a powerful new data platform for financial institutions that for the first time brings together aligned, best-in-class, and actionable data on how more than 2,000 major companies are addressing their links to deforestation.

This podcast is taken from the launch event and explores how the platform can enable financial institutions to easily screen portfolios, engage with the most relevant companies, manage deforestation risks and achieve their climate and nature targets. 

There is no way to meet net-zero targets without an end to deforestation and its launch comes at a time of growing policy and compliance pressure on the finance sector to act.

You'll hear from Global Canopy's Executive Director Niki Mardas introducing Forest IQ, before a panel discussion led  by - Danielle Carreira from the World Economic Forum, questioning Tim Steinweg from the PRI, Emily McKenzie from the TNFD, Eugenie Mathieu from Aviva Investors and Gemma Corrigan from Federated Hermes.
