Accountability Framework initiative and Meridia

Official AFi Delivery Partner

Meridia is now an official delivery partner of the Accountability Framework initiative (AFi)

Joining a global network of organisations supporting companies in achieving deforestation- and conversion-free (DCF) supply chains.

For Meridia, becoming a delivery partner is a natural extension of the work we already do. Our DCF verification methodology is built in alignment with AFi guidance, and our platform, Verify, gives companies the geospatial tools and farmlevel data they need to verify their supply chains against DCF standards. As a delivery partner, we are proud to deepen our collaboration with the AFi and expand our work with companies serious about making their DCF commitments count.

About the Accountability Framework initiative

The Accountability Framework initiative, led by a coalition of leading environmental and social NGOs, provides the most comprehensive and widely used roadmap for responsible supply chains. It provides practical, consensus-based guidance for how companies should approach DCF commitments across agricultural and forestry commodities, from policy setting and traceability to monitoring and reporting.
