Landscape initiative maturity joint paper
A joint set of sub-criteria supporting the assessment of landscape initiative maturity.
Corporates and financial institutions are increasingly recognizing engagement with landscape and jurisdictional initiatives as a key strategy to mitigate risk and create resilient supply chains.
As the number of organizations participating in and engaging with landscape initiatives grows, a common understanding of what makes a credible, effective and resilient landscape initiative is needed to ensure that the resources available to strengthen and implement landscape initiatives can be targeted effectively to deliver greatest impact. In 2023, CDP created the Landscape Maturity Matrix, to help organizations evaluate what makes a credible, effective and resilient landscape initiative.
In this joint paper, LandScale, CDP, SBTN and ISEAL have developed an initial set of sub-criteria for evaluating landscape initiative maturity, making this framework more detailed and objective.

An updated version of the core criteria for mature landscape initiatives is now available, expanding the sub-criteria from 9 to 22. This new version offers deeper guidance for landscape initiatives, incorporating qualitative aspects that reflect the contextual nature of landscapes.

At this time, we are still offering the service based on the original framework, with plans for future integration of the updated version.
