Welcome to the Environmental Crimes Financial Toolkit, a comprehensive resource designed to help financial institutions mitigate their risk exposure to financial crimes associated with deforestation and land conversion.
The toolkit currently focuses on deforestation and land conversion risk commodities (minerals, timber, cattle, soy, palm oil, cocoa, coffee and rubber) sourced from Sub-Saharan Africa, South and Central America and Southeast Asia and Pacific, outlining the convergence with financial crime. It aims to support financial institutions in assessing their risk exposure to these financial crimes through these commodities, and in addressing and reporting suspicious transactions relating to deforestation and land conversion.
The Environmental Crimes Financial Toolkit is developed by WWF and Themis, with support from the Climate Solutions Partnership (CSP). The CSP is a philanthropic collaboration between HSBC, WRI and WWF, with a global network of local partners, aiming at scaling up innovative nature-based solutions, and supporting the transition of the energy sector to renewables in Asia, by combining our resources, knowledge, and insight.
