Environmental Crimes Financial Toolkit
The Environmental Crimes Financial Toolkit (ECFT) is an online platform that assists financial institutions in monitoring risks related to deforestation and land conversion – and, more broadly, environmental crimes – that could be linked to financial operations.
By highlighting red flags and risks associated with various types of environmental and financial crimes, the Toolkit helps financial institutions (FIs) strengthen their screening processes when reviewing existing clients, onboarding new ones, and assessing sectoral risks.
The Environmental Crimes Financial Toolkit has been developed by WWF and Themis, supported by the Climate Solutions Partnership, a collaboration between HSBC, World Resources Institute and WWF.
