Description
WWF wishes to let a contract for the purpose of gathering evidence to support legal advocacy we are currently undertaking to support our work to persuade UK financial institutions to mitigate their exposure to deforestation risk in particular. 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 [email protected] and copy in the Procurement Team [email protected].
