Our analysis includes human rights, environmental, and governmental risk factors on a national and subnational level, allowing companies to proactively address areas of concern and implement mitigation measures. This includes Abstract Risk Analyses that assess impacts on vulnerable communities, such as indigenous populations but also poverty, forced labour, child labour and corruption, as well as on important environmental resources.
Suitability Assessment
GRAS provides tailored suitability assessments based on customized needs and sustainability criteria. Utilizing extensive datasets which are complemented with satellite imagery, GRAS evaluates the suitability of various crop productions through the analysis of factors such as land use and land cover, above-ground biomass, and protected areas. Three main suitability classes can be defined as part of the study (suitable, potential suitable and unsuitable) and the area of interest is classified based on the datasets and the established criteria.
Sustainability Risk Assessment and Monitoring
GRAS enables efficient analyses on both small and large scales, tailored to individually defined sustainability criteria. The analysis of production areas can be conducted for sourcing regions or specific field or plantation outlines. The monitoring of these criteria over time can be used to provide comprehensible improvement and impact reports and communicate achievements to partners, investors and customers.
