What follows is a lightly edited interview.

The discussion is part of Investors Talk Deforestation, a series of interviews with influential investors and partner organizations who supported the development of the Ceres Investor Guide to Deforestation and Climate Change.

As long as deforestation is still occurring, the risks to companies, industries, investors and the environment persist.

The good news is that because many people have been working on deforestation for a long time, there are best practices out there, such as those outlined in Part 5 of the Ceres Guide, that are recognized as helping to comprehensively mitigate risks from deforestation.

The company still has a long way to go, but this is an important first step.

We were also encouraged by Aramark's commitment to develop and fully implement a no-deforestation policy across its global supply chain, including legal deforestation, by 2025.

Nash: You briefly mentioned the greenhouse emissions associated with deforestation.

The guide aims to engage investors on deforestation emissions and other related risks across their portfolios and drive more corporate action on the issue.

Julie Nash: Green Century has been engaging companies on deforestation risks for many years.

Nash: Are there other ways that investors should be thinking about deforestation risks that we have missed?

Waxman: It's important for investors to recognize that deforestation, like climate change, poses risks at both the company-specific and portfolio level.
