Climate change, deforestation, biodiversity loss and social inequality are deeply rooted in the global trade of unsustainably produced commodities such as cocoa, palm oil, rice, soy and timber. At Preferred by Nature, we believe that a focused approach will yield the most sustainable result.
With 30 years of experience working with these essential resources globally, we have chosen to concentrate on those with the most potential for scalable impact. For each focus area, we have assigned a lead and a team of sustainability experts who will consistently track, measure, and improve our sustainability results day by day, in line with our impact-driven strategy.
