TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLY

MANAGED LANDSCAPESLandscapes that are managed so that

communities and ecosystems thriveand that provide viable long-term supplies

of the world’s primary commodities

�����������������������The Landscape Standard (LS) is an emerging tool to help drive landscape-scale sustainability. The LS will show the state and trajectory of sustainability across environmental, socioeconomic and governance dimensions using data-based performance results.

Applicable across commodities and production sectors within landscapes, the LS offers a standardized landscape sustainability assessment to complement existing sustainability efforts that target individual production sites, activities or sectors. This approach will assist companies, financiers and governments seeking to assess the landscape-scale sustainability performance of their investments and will drive incentives and resources towards continuous improvement of landscape sustainability.
