Floresta 250 Cattle - Assessing the key players in cattle supply chains driving deforestation in Brazil (in English)

Floresta 250 – Cattle, a new Global Canopy dataset, reveals major companies and financial institutions are failing to set and implement policies to tackle deforestation linked to cattle supply chains in Brazil.

Cattle is the biggest agricultural driver of deforestation globally and Brazil is responsible for nearly 60% of global pasture-driven deforestation.

Floresta 250 - Cattle assesses the key players in cattle supply chains driving deforestation in Brazil. 175 companies and 75 financial institutions are assessed on the strength and implementation of their commitments on deforestation, ecosystem conversion and associated human rights abuses.

This podcast is taken from the launch webinar unveiling the baseline findings of the Floresta 250. Moderated by Cinthia Leone from Climainfo, you will also hear from Isadora Carvalho, Global Canopy’s Sustainable Finance Engagement Lead, Raoni Rajão, Director of Deforestation and Fire Control Policies at Brazil’s Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, Jaciele Davi, Senior Conservation Analyst at WWF-Brasil and Alice Thuault, Executive Director at ICV.
