Delivering deforestation and conversion-free raw materials: The ProTerra Monitoring, Reporting, and Verifying system

June 26, 2023

The need to eliminate deforestation and land conversion associated with producing raw materials has become increasingly urgent over the last decade. Thanks to the proactive actions of companies investing in sustainable supply chains, an important pathway for producers to ensure sustainable production has been established.

The ProTerra Foundation has created a Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system to address the risk of importing raw materials that may be linked to deforestation or corporate social responsibility.

Three supplier companies (Caramuru Alimentos SA, CJ Selecta and Imcopa Importadora Exportadora / Cervejaria Petrópolis), that have committed to transparently delivering deforestation- and conversion-free soy at scale, continue yearly audits based on the ProTerra Foundation Monitoring and Verification guidance.
