Meet us in São Paulo for UN PRI in Person

November 3, 2025

Just ahead of COP30 in Brazil, our CEO International Elisabeth Hoch will join UN PRI in Person in São Paulo. She will speak as part of the session “Investing in Latin America’s green transition: platforms and initiatives ‘joining the dots’” at 10:55 at the Community Stage. With here on stage will be Alba Aguilar, CEO of Consejo Mexicano de Finanzas Sostenibles and Carolina Graça, the Operations Director of Green Bridge Facility.

SESSION FORMAT: The Community Stage is designed to be a dynamic hub where attendees can explore real-world case studies and innovations from sustainability leaders, with a focus on investing in Latin America’s green transition.
This session is structured around short, focused presentations: each speaker will have max. 5 minutes to share their work, followed by a joint audience Q&A (approx. 15 mins) facilitated by a senior PRI or stakeholder representative.

Elisabth will share some of our latest insights from pilots we have conducted on sustainable value chains including:

Pilots like these, showing how sustainable finance regulation can work in practice, need more international recognition to trigger a “race to the top” and effective regulations.

If you are attending PRI in Person or COP30 too, drop her a message to exchange on these topics on the ground in Brazil. Learn more about UN PRI in Person here.

This case study explores how the Brazilian Beef Exporters Association (ABIEC) is coordinating technical alignment, supply chain support, and international dialogue to ensure readiness. It also highlights ongoing challenges and what’s still needed to operationalize deforestation-free commitments across the value chain.Brazil’s Beef Sector and the EUDR: A Case for Collective Readines As the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) sets new benchmarks for responsible supply chains, Brazil’s beef sector—one of the largest exporters to the EU—is stepping up to meet the challenge. This case study spotlights how the Brazilian Beef Exporters Association (ABIEC) is helping steer a sector-wide response to EUDR compliance.

Making the EUDR Work: Real-World Pilots, Progress, and Innovation

June 17, 2025 - Introduction The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) sets a high bar for sustainability in global supply chains—especially in forest-risk commodities such as coffee, cocoa, soy, palm oil, rubber, beef, and wood. But what does real compliance look like in practice? To answer this, we’re building a living repository of case studies and innovative actions that demonstrate how producers, exporters, companies, governments, and local communities are adapting supply chains to meet EUDR requirements. From traceability pilots to smallholder inclusion programs and national policy tools, this growing collection showcases solutions that are already being tested or implemented across the globe. Originally launched under…

Making Deforestation Due Diligence Work in Practice

July 2, 2024 - Various open-source providers make extensive data on companies' actions on deforestation available. Yet, financial institutions report that it remains challenging and resource-intensive for them to identify and mitigate deforestation risks in investment portfolios. The new practical guide responds to this challenge, as the financial sector is increasingly committed to addressing its role in deforestation, a major driver of biodiversity loss and climate change. It is ready for implementation as the guidelines are complemented by an online code repository with a (limited) open-source dataset that financial institutions can use and adapt.Various open-source providers make extensive data on companies' actions on deforestation available.
