Principles of the Partners For the Amazon Platform
The platform must operate as a space of trust among its members, in order to favor joint solutions that are beneficial to all. This implies a democratic, representative and collaborative governance structure.
Transparency must permeate all PFA decision-making and positions, so that members are fully informed and qualified to participate in it. Furthermore, the platform must follow the transparency standards with the external public in order to guarantee its suitability and trust.
The Platform’s performance must be guided by scientific rigor, in order to improve the allocation of resources in initiatives with proven technical feasibility, high potential for effectiveness and financial efficiency. To this end, PFA will promote dialogue with experts in its different areas of activity.
The Platform must respond to the demands of its members, society and the environment in an agile and competent manner. These demands can change periodically and, therefore, the PFA must maintain a current and innovative work agenda.
Platform members must guarantee their social and environmental responsibilities to each other and to society about their business, commitments and actions for social and environmental well-being in the Amazon.
