Location matters
Nature displays huge levels of diversity across the planet, and therefore huge diversity across value chains. From rainforests to river basins, every location presents unique nature-related risks and opportunities — which is why companies can’t rely on one-size-fits-all strategies.
A localized approach to nature management isn't just about mitigating risks. It's about resilience and long-term value creation for both the business and the communities in which it operates.
Effective strategies for reducing nature-related risks and maximising opportunities take into account local context, including:
- The status and significance of nature located across the value chain
- The processes driving change in nature at priority locations
- The relations between nature and the wellbeing of local communities
