In a time when we are acutely aware of the long-term impact of modern lifestyles on the planet than ever before, the Norwegian government is setting the standard by being the first country to announce a zero deforestation policy. World leaders take note!

This entails that no government contract shall be awarded to any organization whose activities involve the destruction of trees or forests, including tropical rainforests, which includes the sourcing of commodities such as palm oil, soy, beef, and timber.
