Rainforest Partnership announces the Tropical Rainforest Industry Impact (TRII) Index . No climate solutions available are capable of doing what rainforests do for our planet, our water, and our air to sustain life on Earth. Our TRII Index is designed to build a landscape where companies and rainforests thrive together and to support corporations in their transition to a forest-positive future. We are a proud partner of the futur/io Institute CSO Awards North America, who used the TRII Index as a tool to evaluate the environmental efforts of the 20 nominees from the CSO Awards North America 2024. https://lnkd.in/ecyKQcQf
