The Accountability Framework initiative (AFi) is a collaborative program dedicated to fostering sustainability in agricultural and forestry supply chains by eliminating deforestation, conversion, and human rights abuses. With a mission to protect forests, natural ecosystems, and promote human rights, AFi provides a comprehensive Accountability Framework that serves as a practical roadmap for companies and stakeholders striving for responsible supply chains.

This initiative supports various participants, including businesses, financial institutions, and multi-stakeholder groups, by offering essential tools for setting climate and nature targets, managing supply chains, and ensuring responsible production practices. AFi also emphasizes the importance of monitoring and verification, certification, and thorough reporting, empowering organizations to track and report their progress effectively.

Through its diverse coalition of NGOs and industry partners, the AFi seeks to drive positive environmental and social impacts, making significant strides towards a more sustainable and equitable future in tropical regions and beyond.
