      Do they have a commitment for other non-Forest 500 commodities, if so which?: NA

      Which commodities does the commodity-specific commitment apply to?: Soy
      "The pressure on the livestock feed industry to put a stop to the conversion of natural ecosystems has increased in recent times. The Accountability Framework has set 'conversion-free soy' in completely segregated chains as the baseline. Agrifirm is in discussion with it's suppliers to investigate how soy can become guaranteed and verified conversion-free in the physical chain. The initial pilots with guaranteed deforestation and conversion free soy in our physical supply chain will be rolled out in 2021"[...]"In 2021, Friesland Campina and Agrifirm announced that they are launching a pilot project for a physically separate supply chain of guaranteed deforestation-free soy for animal feed. This deforestation-free soy will be available in the course of 2022 for the member dairy farmers of Friesland Campina who purchase feed at Agrifirm."

      "The processing to turn the raw materials into animal feed leads to emissions of greenhouse gases and contributes to climate change. The Paris Climate Agreement drives our ambition to have a net climate-neutral production process by 2036. It is our ambition to reduce the CO2 emissions from our direct and indirect energy consumption (scopes 1 and 2, GHG Protocol) in all our locations to net zero. We plan to do this by reducing our absolute emissions, increasing the efficiency of our production processes and making use of energy from renewable sources and by compensating the remaining CO2 emissions."

          "Agrifirm has a Responsible Procurement policy in place, which was last updated in 2017. The approach is built on a generic risk assessment, specific risk assessments and active stakeholder involvement in those processes. The main objective behind this approach is for us to have a good understanding of the social and environmental conditions in our supply chain, ensure food safety and work on addressing these issues jointly with our suppliers. Our membership of SecureFeed and GMP+ helps us to avoid working with companies that are blacklisted and to evaluate suppliers regularly, usually on an annual basis.

          "Agrifirm has a Responsible Procurement policy in place, which was last updated in 2017. The approach is built on a generic risk assessment, specific risk assessments and active stakeholder involvement in those processes. The main objective behind this approach is for us to have a good understanding of the social and environmental conditions in our supply chain, ensure food safety and work on addressing these issues jointly with our suppliers. Our membership of SecureFeed and GMP+ helps us to avoid working with companies that are blacklisted and to evaluate suppliers regularly, usually on an annual basis.
