The primary purpose of ForestMapper is to assist companies in making sustainable choices by providing them with detailed geographical insights into forest conservation status, biodiversity, and the presence of critical landscapes. Importantly, the tool assists companies transitioning to more sustainable fibre supply chains and to help identify areas of potential sourcing risk.

This tool is instrumental for businesses that seek to reduce their environmental footprint by sourcing materials responsibly. By enabling users to visualise and understand the origins of their fibre sources, companies can avoid contributing to deforestation and habitat destruction. ForestMapper includes various layers of data, such as forest cover, species distribution, and carbon storage, which are crucial for assessing environmental impact and compliance with sustainability standards.

Moreover, ForestMapper has significant implications for financial sustainability. Investors and financial institutions can use the tool to evaluate the sustainability practices of companies and assess potential risks associated with environmental impacts. This capability supports the financial sector in making informed decisions that align with environmental conservation goals, promoting long-term financial stability and compliance with global sustainability benchmarks.
