Our approach

We support governments, companies, civil society organizations and the financial sector with actionable data and analysis to eliminate commodity-driven deforestation. To identify opportunities to prevent deforestation, AidEnvironment monitors and analyses data on land use, land ownership, supply chains, corporate ownership structures and finance flows, which is supplemented by satellite imagery and on-the-ground investigations.  

We work on beef, leather, soy, palm oil, cocoa, coffee, timber, and pulp and paper supply chains in tropical forest countries, particularly in Latin America and Southeast Asia. With evidence-based insights, stakeholders are equipped with accurate, reliable, and timely information to engage with companies operating in different sectors and supply chain stages, or to develop targeted campaigns and strategic litigation focused on commodity producers, traders and buyers that fail to strengthen their sustainability policies and practices.  

Preventing deforestation is a crucial element of climate action that can lead to the achievement of the sustainable development goals, the targets of the Paris agreement, and deliver the European Green Deal. Learn more about our Theory of Change here.
