SPOTT assesses the most impactful producers, processors and traders in the timber and pulp sector on their public disclosure regarding the organisation, policies and practices related to environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues.
Assessed companies are reviewed on an annual basis to ensure that their inclusion continues to align with this aim and with the needs of our users. The review process includes desktop research as well as consultation with our Technical Advisory Groups. Our selection process takes into account a variety of factors, including the location and extent of the producing and/or processing operations, nominations by interested stakeholders, companies that have volunteered for assessment, evidence of unsustainable practices identified through media reports, and donor expectations.
Nominations welcome
Ahead of this year’s SPOTT assessments we are calling for public nominations of tropical timber and pulp companies. More information on our selection process can be found here.
You can submit company nominations anonymously here.
Or send us an email: spott@zsl.org
The deadline for the submission of company nominations is 31/01/2025.
