A webinar series for financial institutions
Learn why deforestation poses a material risk for financial institutions, and how the EUDR is reshaping expectations, risks and opportunities
Deforestation is increasingly recognised as a material financial risk. Forest loss driven largely by agricultural expansion and resource extraction disrupts supply chains’ resilience, adds pressure to climate goals and creates exposure for financial institutions through credit, transaction and portfolio risks.
For banks financing forest-risk sectors, these risks directly affect client viability, market access and long-term asset resilience. In response to this, ZSL’s Sustainable Business and Finance team is hosting two webinar sessions, one focused on Latin America supply chains and the other on Southeast Asia, to explore how deforestation risk manifests across different supply chains and commodities.
The sessions will also address the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which represents a development within this broader shift. Even though financial institutions aren’t directly regulated, many of their clients are, so understanding these dynamics is essential for informed financial decision-making.
These webinars are designed for professionals working across financial institutions seeking a clearer understanding of deforestation as a financial risk and the implications of EUDR.
