A new approach for nature-integrated sourcing

Designed by mapping landscape conditions onto existing supply chains, to surface hidden dependencies.

Commodities resolving into exposure clusters A commodity list ranked by volume. Its origin column is mapped onto a continuous landscape field. All nine commodities resolve into two exposure clusters, and rank does not predict which. EXPOSURE CLUSTER EXPOSURE CLUSTER COMMODITIES BY VOLUME

Minnow organizes around landscapes first, making sourcing relationships visible and coordinated action possible.

Pillar I

Reframe the geography

For any sourcing geography, the framework produces new parameters - or signatures - defined by the specific variables driving exposure. Ecological conditions, not borders, determine what these signatures reveal.

Satellite view of farmland split along a watershed boundary into two subbasins, Subbasin 1 and Subbasin 2, instead of along an administrative border.

Pillar II

Surface shared exposure

No company sources from landscapes alone. Signatures highlight clusters of stakeholders drawing from the same sourcing geographies, and reveal interdependencies that make coordinated responses structurally possible.

Pillar III

Translate exposure to response

Each set of loss driver variables identified in a signature points toward a matched class of responses. Outcomes - individual or coordinated - feed back into subsequent landscape analyses, deepening understanding and compounding resilience with every cycle.

Translating exposure into action: interventions and partners mapped to loss drivers, feeding back into planning cycles that compound resilience.
