Impact optimisation
Impact optimisation: from disclosure to action
Reporting is the start, not the goal. The same insight that powers your disclosures should help you make nature-positive decisions.
The mitigation hierarchy, made practical
SBTN’s Step 4 uses the AR³T framework (Avoid, Reduce, Regenerate, Restore, Transform) to structure action.
- 01
Avoid
Prevent impacts from happening in the first place, for example by not converting natural ecosystems.
- 02
Reduce
Minimise impacts that cannot be avoided, such as lowering water withdrawal or pollutant loads.
- 03
Regenerate
Improve the productivity and ecological function of land in use, such as farmland or forestry.
- 04
Restore
Initiate or accelerate the recovery of ecosystems, ideally to their original state.
- 05
Transform
Contribute to systemic change in the wider landscape, value chain and policy environment.
Prioritise where it counts
Not every site or supplier matters equally for nature. Combining pressure scores with location data helps you focus on the places and activities where action has the greatest effect, which is also what SBTN Step 2 (interpret & prioritise) asks for.
