Assessments

In 2024, Global Canopy identified the 175 companies and 75 financial institutions with the greatest influence on Brazilian cattle supply chains to conduct a baseline assessment of the strength and implementation of their commitments on deforestation, ecosystem conversion and associated human rights abuses. 

In 2025, Global Canopy conducted a repeat assessment of all 250 organisations. All companies and financial institutions were given a numerical score out of 100.

Methodologies

Two assessment methodologies are used for the assessments: one for companies and one for financial institutions. Each assesses against best practice.
