This joint position paper is the second in a series of collective positions from the landscape and jurisdictional practitioner community that aim to provide companies and the organisations that support them with accessible and consistent guidance for effective investment and action in landscapes and jurisdictions. The series provides a common baseline set of expectations on which the practitioner community is building more detailed guidance and tools.

This second position paper sets minimum expectations for information to include in company claims about the investments they are making or the actions they are taking at a landscape scale. It also outlines the supporting information that should be disclosed to strengthen those claims. Companies talking about actions and investments in a consistent way will provide clarity and comparability and will help to build trust with stakeholders within and beyond their sourcing regions. This paper builds on and complements the first collective position on what constitutes a landscape investment or action. Additional positions will focus on assessing and validating sustainability performance improvements and on the claims companies can make about their contributions to those improvements.
