What are landscape and jurisdictional initiatives?
Landscape and jurisdictional initiatives are multi-stakeholder collaborations in defined production regions. They bring together producers, companies, governments, civil society, and other local actors around shared sustainability goals, collective action, and monitoring. Jurisdictional initiatives are a type of landscape initiative rooted in administrative boundaries and typically involve government leadership or active participation.
The business case for landscape engagement
Companies are increasingly recognising the value of understanding sustainability opportunities and risks across entire production landscapes, not only at individual farms or suppliers. SourceUp makes this broader view easier by offering clear insights into who is involved, shared priorities, progress being achieved, and where additional support can create the greatest impact.
On SourceUp, companies can:
- Easily identify relevant initiatives in key sourcing regions by exploring initiatives through country, commodity, theme, and keyword filters.
- Quickly assess alignment between an initiative and company's goals by reviewing governance, partners, committed buyers, goals, indicators, documents, and other public profile information.
- Monitor progress over time of their supported initiatives through structured reporting, qualitative updates, and maturity insights.
- Identify meaningful opportunities to contribute through published investment opportunities linked to landscape goals - either financial, in-kind, or other forms of support.
- Strengthen internal collaboration and reporting by using consistent regional information to inform sustainability, sourcing, and internal ethical trade conversations.
What you can assess on SourceUp
SourceUp is designed to help companies move from broad interest to more informed assessments and a first contact with initiatives.
Sourcing relevance
See where an initiative operates, which commodities are produced, and whether the region is relevant to your current or future sourcing priorities.
Governance and collaboration
Review who convenes the initiative, which partners are involved, whether companies are already engaged, and how to contact the initiative.
Progress and maturity
Look at collective goals, indicators, progress narratives, and the Landscape Maturity module to understand how the initiative is developing across governance, action, and monitoring. You can also download data exports of your supported initiatives for internal reporting.
Investment fit
Explore investment opportunities aligned with landscape goals and see the type of support being sought. Where available, you can also review progress, contributor types needed, and other supporters already involved.
