NEPCon will launch its Sourcing Hub on August 24, a collection of national risk assessments for timber, soy, palm oil and beef. The tools cover nine countries producing soy, beef or palm oil.
They are designed to help companies implement responsible sourcing policies.
Sustainability due diligence tools may gradually influence buyer sourcing decisions for palm oil and soy, but they are not a direct supply or price driver.
After 563 past neutral report events, Soybeans moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -1.7% to +1.6%), and -0.1% over 20.
After 66 past neutral report events, Palm Oil moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (58% higher; middle half -0.4% to +2.0%), and +2.2% over 20.
Moves of each commodity's benchmark from the last close before the event. Historical reads pool past events of the same kind; they describe what happened, not what will. Not investment advice.
