Investor Support for Deforestation-Free Procurement Acts in US

2 members

As nature and biodiversity loss stays top of mind in 2021, it’s great to see US policy makers taking action. Deforestation-Free Procurement Bills have been/will be introduced in NY and CA.

Collaboration details

The bill, if passed, would require specific state contractors and subcontractors to have No Deforestation, No Peat, No Exploitation (NDPE) policies, to certify compliance and to disclose about it publicly.

This would create needed transparency and incentives for NDPE policies, mitigate tropical deforestation and potentially offer investors an opportunity to invest in tropical-deforestation-free government bonds.
