Assessing compliance with the Forest Code: A practical guide

The goal of this guide is to help buyers of Brazilian forestry and agricultural commodities to verify compliance with the Brazilian Forest Code in their supply chain. It presents a range of available and evolving tools to ensure compliance with the Forest Code in the supply chain. The tools described are credible and practical instruments that buyers can use without the need for legal or environmental specialists.
