BRODIE’s Nature experience
Take a closer look at two examples of our work
Deforestation free sourcing capability building
BRODIE partnered with a multinational coffee house to provide strategic and technical support to design and implement a global commodity traceability programme across palm, cocoa, dairy and paper.
This included working sessions, software selection and implementation support, and supplier engagement guidance. Key outputs included commodity insight papers, deforestation decision tools, and detailed supplier engagement recommendations.
This equipped them with the capabilities, tools, and expertise to build robust deforestation-free sourcing practices across its global supply chain.
Nature disclosure assessment
BRODIE has been a strategic sustainability partner to this premium drinks retailer since 2019. The company has a strong record of robust, data-driven sustainability work through its “Spirit of Progress” strategy.
To provide direction for their future environmental reporting, BRODIE conducted a benchmark of peer nature disclosures, grounded in the TNFD framework, and assessed current performance against this.
The insights from this work helped them enhance its reporting on nature and demonstrate leadership among peers.
