Forest 500 Annual Report 2014

The variation in scores achieved by the Forest 500 shows that whilst some powerbrokers are leading the way in addressing global forest loss, many are failing to take the action required to safeguard against the risk they are linked to deforestation. Although a more comprehensive approach with improvements across the policies and practices of these major powerbrokers is required if global zero deforestation targets are to be achieved, the high scores awarded to some of the actors within each category demonstrate that progress is not only possible, but is under way.
