Recommendation 47
47
Paragraph: 170
Use trade negotiations to encourage high environmental standards and sustainable supply chains
Recommendation
If the UK Government is to persuade other major consumers to act on their deforestation footprint, it is important that the UK leads by example. We recommend that Ministers use the opportunity of bilateral and multilateral trade negotiations to encourage consistently high environmental and social standards, so as to accelerate the transition to sustainable supply chains which minimise deforestation risk.
