Supply Chain Transparency: Why is it needed?

New York's State Legislature is considering a bill to ensure that companies contracting with the state don't contribute to tropical deforestation. The Tropical Deforestation-Free Procurement Act holds companies contracting with New York State accountable for any deforestation they might take part in, whether that's through how their product is made or through their supply chain. A study from the University of Cambridge finds 94 companies have adopted zero-deforestation commitments, although most are not put into practice.
