The EU Deforestation Regulation requiring deforestation-free verification for cocoa, timber, and other commodities entering EU markets represents an immediate market access risk for Ghanaian exporters. Alongside this, investors and development finance institutions require demonstrable freedom from human rights violations, child labour, and land rights abuses across supply chains. Many organisations lack the traceability systems, supplier visibility, and due diligence processes needed to meet these requirements.
KPMG Ghana helps organisations build the supply chain transparency, compliance systems, and supplier relationships needed to manage ESG risks and maintain access to international markets. We work with producers, processors, exporters, financial institutions, and government bodies across Ghana's major commodity sectors combining regulatory knowledge, field assessment capability, and digital traceability expertise.
Our team brings hands-on knowledge of Ghana's cocoa, gold, timber, and agribusiness supply chains, including the social and environmental realities of smallholder farming communities and artisanal mining operations. This on-the-ground experience enables us to design solutions that are credible to international buyers and regulators while being practically implementable in the Ghanaian context.
