Proforest is a unique, non-profit group. We support companies, governments, civil society and other organisations to work towards the responsible production and sourcing of agricultural and forest commodities.
Proforest is a mission-driven organisation. We believe that agricultural commodity production can be done in a way that works for the natural environment where commodities are grown, benefits the people who live and work there, and in a way that creates a resilient climate.
At Proforest we’re passionate about helping people produce and source agricultural and forest commodities responsibly. That’s why we support companies throughout supply chains to have positive social and environmental outcomes in the places where commodities are produced.
All of the work we do contributes to eight positive environmental and social outcomes for people and the places where commodities are produced.
