SPOTT assesses the most impactful producers, processors, and manufacturers in the tropical timber & 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.
