GPSNR Company Self Assessment Form: Aligning Your Company’s Policy with the GPSNR Policy Framework

Public feedback is currently closed and under review 

The Global Platform for Sustainable Natural Rubber has prepared three guidance documents to support GPSNR members in their efforts to comply with the upcoming European Union Deforestation Regulation. 

The Platform is now conducting a 30-day public consultation on these documents. After the consultation, a multi-stakeholder task force within the Platform will review the comments, make the necessary changes, and send these documents for endorsement by the Executive Committee.

Any feedback on the documents should be added by 15th May 2024.

The final version will be publicly available once all the feedback has been incorporated. 

Add your feedback here before 15 May 2024

A few important reminders before you submit:
–  Proposals are assessed against the SIM funding principles, the open market criteria, and overall quality. Please review these carefully to ensure your project is aligned.
–  Proposals must follow the guidance provided in the proposal template, budget template, and FAQ document. Submissions that do not follow this guidance may be rejected, so we encourage you to check your documents against these references before submitting.

The GPSNR Shared Investment Mechanism (SIM) is now accepting project proposals for the 2027 funding cycle.

SIM is a joint funding framework under which GPSNR Ordinary Members (currently mandatory for Manufacturer Members) co-fund sustainability and capacity-building projects across the natural rubber value chain. Through this call, organisations and individuals are invited to submit project proposals that align with the SIM Funding Principles.

This call is open to both GPSNR and non-GPSNR members. Proposals that successfully pass the technical evaluation conducted by the evaluation panel will be included in a list of approved projects. Manufacturer Members will then review this list and decide which projects to fund.

Submission Window: 21 April – 15 June 2026 (Extended to 25 June 2026) 

Deadline: Proposals and budget templates must be submitted by 23:59 SGT on 15 June 2026 (Extended to 25 June 2026). Late submissions will not be accepted.
