Implementing France's Strategy to End Import-Linked Deforestation

Trase created an interactive risk assessment dashboard for the Ministry of Ecological Transition to increase supply chain transparency and encourage action by companies to decouple imports of soy from the risk of contributing to deforestation.

Trase, with the collaboration of the European Forest Institute, has done a very important job of compiling and processing data from the main tropical countries producing soybeans (and other products at risk of deforestation), making it possible today to estimate the risk of deforestation for most soybean imports in France.

Germany

Trase helped the German government understand its imported deforestation exposure and progress towards meeting international commitments.

Trase was commissioned by Germany’s development agency GIZ on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) to assess Germany’s deforestation risk exposure to support action to achieve deforestation-free supply chains. These measures were needed if Germany is to meet international commitments such as the Amsterdam Declarations Partnership and prepare for the EU deforestation regulation.

Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) in Germany said Trase’s analysis was extremely helpful in supporting the case for the proposed EU ‘due diligence’ legislation on deforestation-free products by providing evidence on the links between specific commodities and deforestation risk.
