WWF-UK is deeply concerned about the levels of deforestation around the world which continues to rise - both because of the threat this poses in terms of climate change and to globally important nature. As a major international finance hub, our research indicates that City of London institutions (banks in particular) continue to invest or lend significant sums to businesses strongly linked to deforestation - in the Amazon in particular. Our Risky Finance report sets out a strong evidence base focussing in particular on soft commodities as well as setting out a model due diligence policy which banks could and should implement to mitigate these risks. We require written responses to this invitation to tender within 2 weeks of the date of the invitation. We want to start engaging with banks on this issue in the run-up to COP, so we are looking for an initial report within 2 - 4 weeks of successful award of contract. Up to £8K plus VAT. Please send your submission to Jake White and copy in the Procurement Team . ## CPV classification Financial and insurance services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/a094cfd8-4cd3-4978-94c6-ddf4e55f7744) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
