Descripción
<p class="ql-align-justify">At the Rainforest Alliance, we are building an alliance to create a better future for people and nature by making responsible business the new normal. To advance our mission, we focus on amplifying our impact on the ground through systemic transformation: change across the entire supply chain, change in the relationship between people and nature, and change within our own organization. We achieve this transformation by working in collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders to create a stronger Alliance. Together, we amplify the voices of farmers and forest communities, improve livelihoods, protect biodiversity, and help people adapt to climate change in bold and effective ways. We embrace transparency because we believe that the best way to build trust across our alliance is through openness about our tactics, our impact, and partners on the ground. Together, we can achieve our vision of a world where people and nature thrive in harmony.</p><p class="ql-align-justify"> </p><p class="ql-align-justify">Time is running out to solve the complex environmental and socioeconomic challenges facing our planet. No company, organization, or community can tackle these issues alone. We need a standard, holistic approach to measuring progress that supports better decision making and collaboration. LandScale is a tool to assess and communicate landscape sustainability. It helps us gain critical insights, make more informed decisions, and share credible stories of impact. The assessment framework, verification mechanism, and reporting platform enable the private sector, governments, and civil society to access reliable information that can guide and incentivize sustainability improvements at scale.</p><p class="ql-align-justify"> </p><p class="ql-align-justify">The Rainforest Alliance jointly with Verra, and Conservation International are developing LandScale with support from a growing coalition of partners.
