Driving responsible natural resource markets through education, transformation and responsibility.

We are a multi-stakeholder platform dedicated to transforming natural resource markets toward greater sustainability, equity, and impact.

As a center of competence, we engage experts across the commodity value chain to foster dialogue, build capacity, and mobilize private capital in support of the SDGs, the Paris Agreement, and biodiversity goals. Our work empowers professionals with the practical tools and insights needed to navigate ESG risks and opportunities in a fast-evolving landscape.

Our work is built on three key pillars:

• Capacity Building: providing comprehensive insights into the functioning of natural resource markets from multiple viewpoints, and sharing knowledge to help organisations adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing world.

• Private Capital Mobilization: Promoting education on the risks, opportunities, and ESG benefits of investing in natural resource markets, and promoting private capital mobilization in support of the SDGs, the Paris Agreement, and biodiversity goals.

• Implementation Tools: Providing a platform for collaboration and knowledge exchange on sustainable standards and supporting the practical implementation of ESG standards and principles.
