Company Responsibilities for Supporting Credible Landscape Monitoring
Companies are investing in landscape action to secure their sourcing product, meet their business sustainability goals, and reduce socio-ecological risks. Monitoring is an integral part of that investment because it provides the context for knowing whether the actions are achieving their intended impacts. This position paper sets expectations for how companies can support effective monitoring and verification of landscape actions and performance outcomes. Companies that want to understand, manage, and communicate about the results of their investments in a landscape need good information about what is happening.
This joint position paper is the fourth in a series of collective positions from the landscape and jurisdictional practitioner community, made up of 18 organisations including the Tropical Forest Alliance, WWF, Earthworm Foundation, and Conservation International. It aims to provide companies and the organisations that support them with accessible and consistent guidance for effective investment and action in landscapes and jurisdictions. The series provides a common baseline set of expectations for companies, on which the practitioner community is building more detailed guidance and tools.
