Client Value?
TBC conducted a gap analysis of the client’s existing strategy and developed a new strategy in line with the 5 key drivers of biodiversity loss. Utilising Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) and quantitative research, TBC performed a materiality assessment involving commodity deep dives and identified hotspots across their value chain. TBC also conducted in-depth land use footprinting to inform the materiality assessment. TBC then identified a list of potential targets across our client’s value chain that were aligned with SBTN A3RT, giving the company the freedom to then choose targets through internal workshopping. The client was looking to advance other key topics, including biodiversity, to make a positive difference and to become a recognised leader in the space. TBC has been working with the client since 2018. TBC conducted land occupancy footprint assessment of the entire global supply chain and provided recommendations for the formulation of biodiversity-specific goals. TBC also provide regular advice, including a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for their biodiversity commitments, and biodiversity management guidance for their operating sites.
The multinational fashion group has now effectively developed its internal capabilities and established science-based targets. Additionally, it has made a public commitment to support projects aimed at protecting, restoring, regenerating, or enhancing biodiversity across 5 million hectares by 2030.

TBC developed a series of guidance documents for the World Business Council for Sustainable Development identifying metrics to measure positive impacts of regenerative agriculture in delivering improvements to water, biodiversity, and soil health. This involved reviewing the scientific literature and several policy frameworks to identify best-practice approaches.
These documents guide corporate users in how to measure the effectiveness of regenerative agricultural practices, while also providing advice about which techniques are evidence-backed, and which are not. TBC provided reliable, high-quality indicators to effectively measure impact with minimal tradeoffs, ensuring alignment with existing frameworks to reduce reporting burdens and support broader sustainability goals.

Client
TBC undertook an assessment of the company's global biodiversity impacts and following this, corporate biodiversity targets were developed. A practical framework was developed for on-farm implementation of these targets, as well as for monitoring of the biodiversity outcomes. TBC is also developing an operating standard to support roll out of on-farm biodiversity protocols.
The client developed a new corporate position on nature, further clarifying and expanding their No Deforestation Commitment. At the site-level, the client expanded mitigation efforts at their plantation and supported the national government to meet their conservation targets.
