The Forest Trust (TFT) (formerly the Tropical Forest Trust) is a global environmental charity[1] that helps companies run responsible supply chains.
Working predominately in palm oil, pulp and paper and (tropical) timber, TFT works at the point of raw material extraction (forest, plantation, quarry), through to production in mills and factories to ensure products are traceable throughout the supply chain and that people and environment are respected.
The majority of the organisation's staff are field-based, working with plantation and factory staff and owners. TFT’s business support teams work with buyers/procurement teams and senior management and their supply chain partners to understand what they can do to source products more responsibly.
TFT has offices in the UK, France, Switzerland (head office), Indonesia, Malaysia, Viet Nam, China, India, the United States, Brazil, Republic of Congo, Cameroon and Liberia.
