Chain Reaction Research (CRR) and Forests & Finance held a webinar on July 22nd, 2021 looking into their recent research of who provides financing to companies in palm oil supply chains tied to deforestation. The session covered CRR's report on the share of palm oil refining covered by NDPE policies. Forests & Finance shared an overview of their recently updated policy assessments finding that only two out of 26 financiers and investors have policies that require palm oil-related clients (or invested companies) and their suppliers to ensure supply chain transparency and traceability.
