</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Although we have no plans to formally assess the report, the
Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan makes clear the UK’s commitment to supporting
the implementation of deforestation-free supply chains for key commodities, including
palm oil, working with a broad range of stakeholders.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We
are a co-signatory to the Amsterdam Declarations, which are political agreements that
aim to support the implementation of private sector commitments on deforestation and
sustainable palm oil. We are also a member of Tropical Forest Alliance 2020; a public-private
co-operation working to help organisations achieve their deforestation-free commitment,
eliminate illegality from supply chains and improve the quality and availability of
deforestation and supply chain data.</p><p> </p>
