Land degradation, drought, and biodiversity loss are growing risks for societies, economies, and ecosystems. But better action starts with better information.

This report from the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), developed with the UNCCD Business4Land Initiative, explores how corporate sustainability reporting can help strengthen sustainable land management, drought resilience and Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN).

Drawing on case studies from two very different sectors, Olam Agri and Rio Tinto, the report shows how disclosure can make land-, soil-, water- and biodiversity-related impacts more visible – while strengthening governance, accountability, internal data systems and stakeholder dialogue. The cases highlight practical approaches ranging from regenerative agriculture and forest stewardship to mine rehabilitation, water management and community engagement
