What AI says about Accountability Framework initiative

The Accountability Framework (AFi) provides consensus-based guidelines and a practical roadmap for agriculture and forestry companies to build ethical supply chains that protect forests, natural ecosystems, and human rights, addressing deforestation, land-use conversion, and the rights of Indigenous Peoples, local communities, and workers. Hundreds of companies, industry groups, NGOs, and initiatives use the framework, which includes Core Principles, Definitions, and Operational Guidance, plus tools and an e-learning platform to help set goals, manage supply chains, monitor progress, and report results. The framework is downloadable with full documents, case studies, and ongoing updates including public consultation, and supports actors such as financial institutions, industry groups, and reporting initiatives.
