The Forest Trust (TFT) (formerly the Tropical Forest Trust) is a global environmental (charity )〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tft-forests.org/pages/?p=6178 )〕 that helps companies run responsible supply chains. Working predominately in palm oil, pulp and paper and timber, TFT works at the point of raw material extraction (forest, plantation, quarry), through to production in mills and factories to ensure products are traceable throughout the supply chain and that people and environment are respected. The majority of the organisation's staff are field-based, working with plantation and factory staff and owners. TFT’s business support teams work with buyers/procurement teams and senior management and their supply chain partners to understand what they can do to source products more responsibly. TFT has offices in the UK, France, Switzerland (head office), Indonesia, Malaysia, Viet Nam, China, India, the United States, Brazil, Republic of Congo, Cameroon and Liberia. ==History== TFT was founded by Scott Poynton in 1999 after encouraging six major European retailers and their main suppliers to invest in eradicating illegal timber from their garden furniture supply chains. The companies were inspired to invest and leverage their supply chains to transform practices on the ground. TFT set up traceability systems to help bring forests up to Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified standards, the first time occurrence of the standard in the garden furniture industry. In 2010, TFT changed its name from The Tropical Forest Trust to The Forest Trust. As the organisation’s presence grew in forests around the world, TFT was no longer only focussing on tropical forests. The organisation is now more commonly referred to as TFT to reflect the fact that some of the product groups it works across - such as stone - are not sourced from forests. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Forest Trust」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
