Introduction

In an exciting development for the forest sector, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) has launched a beta version of an innovative tool aimed at transforming how companies prioritize and disclose their environmental impact. This tool is part of the WBCSD-Forest Solutions Group’s ambitious Forest Sector Nature Positive Roadmap, designed to foster sustainable practices in forest management.

Focus of the Tool

Developed in collaboration with Quantis, the Forest and Nature Disclosure tool focuses on providing a set of prioritized metrics that are both practical and relevant for assessing the impacts of sustainable forest management. This means that companies will now have a reliable way to measure their environmental footprint and enhance transparency in their operations.

Alignment with Nature-Positive Actions

The tool’s metrics align with WBCSD's Nature-Positive Actions for the forest sector, and they are categorized based on leading regulatory frameworks, various forest management strategies, and geographic regions. Each metric includes a detailed description, recommended units of measurement, and in many cases, additional contextual information that will help users better understand how to implement these measures.
