Proforest is a dynamic not-for-profit organisation with global presence that has established itself as a leader in the development and implementation of sustainable production and sourcing of agricultural and forestry commodities, including soy, sugar, palm oil, cocoa, beef and timber. We support agricultural and forestry production and sourcing that delivers positive outcomes for people, nature and climate through supporting companies, effective collaboration and developing knowledge and capacity building.
Within and beyond supply chains, we work with companies, government departments, non-governmental and civil society organizations, to have positive social and environmental outcomes in the places where commodities are produced. These positive outcomes provide the compass for all our work, including protecting and restoring forests and natural ecosystems, conserving biodiversity, advancing gender equality and respecting human rights.

Pros: For Project Coordinator roles in sustainability consulting, it's pretty stable. We work on long-term initiatives, so there's usually a pipeline of work, especially if you're remote from the UK.
Cons: Job security can feel a bit up and down because so much depends on project-based funding. It's typical for the NGO sector, but sometimes you worry about what's next when a big project wraps up.
Advice to Management: Try to communicate more about the long-term project pipeline to ease job security worries. Also, define clearer paths for career growth within the organization.
