Forest Footprint Disclosure project, UK The Forest Footprint Disclosure Project (FFD Project) is a new UK government-supported initiative, created to help investors identify how an organisations activities and supply chains contribute to tropical deforestation, and link this 'forest footprint' to their value. It aims to create transparency and shed light on a key challenge within investor portfolios, where currently there is little quality information. Participating companies will be asked to disclose how their operations and supply chains are impacting forests worldwide, and what is being done to manage those impacts responsibly. They will also gain a better understanding of their own environmental dependencies, and how the changing climate and new regulatory frameworks could affect access to resources and the cost of doing business in the long term.
