Project Title: Social Impact Track – PalmWatch
Project Description: We investigate whether top-level corporate commitments to sustainability are reflected down the supply chain, focusing on Indonesian palm oil production, which has nearly quadrupled in the past decade. Combining satellite datasets on deforestation and oil palm vegetation, we modeled the risk profile of individual palm suppliers.
