Our guiding principles  

At iNovaland, our work is grounded in three core principles: ecosystem integrity, inclusion, and green growth. These principles guide the planning, management and the development of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) used to monitor and evaluate our projects.

Maintaining and
restoring ecosystem
integrity

We apply systems thinking focusing on landscape level restoration of degraded forests and lands, prioritising regions and locations with high ecological value and untapped potential for restoration. Because we work with nature, not against it, we rebuild degraded ecosystems, enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services, and strengthen climate resilience.

Our interventions are designed to generate measurable environmental outcomes, including biodiversity recovery, carbon sequestration, and improved ecosystem functionality, providing strong foundations for nature-based aligned with ESG and carbon investment strategies.

Ensuring inclusion
and stakeholder
engagement

True transformation starts at the local level. All our projects are co-developed with the people who live and work in the landscapes we restore. We work through multistakeholder platforms and inclusive governance models that include communities, governments, private sector actors, community leaders, and civil society and meet regularly to review progress, resolve challenges, and realign shared goals.

This inclusive, participatory approach leads to projects that are not only equitable and resilient but also aligned with the social dimensions of forest and landscape restoration, including stakeholder rights, gender equity, and local benefit-sharing. 

Supporting green growth,
jobs and socioeconomic
development

Environmental impact must go hand in hand with economic opportunity. Our projects are structured to generate green jobs, improve smallholder incomes, and enable nature-based enterprises to thrive.

Through capacity building, training, technical assistance, and access to markets especially for women and youth, we ensure restoration supports inclusive growth and long-term value creation. These outcomes are core to all investments whether that’s ESG, carbon or biodiversity projects, we ensure local ownership and shared benefits. 

Standards and Initiatives

Our work aligns with global standards and contributes to different initiatives.

1. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Our projects and investments deliver multiple benefits for people and planet, contributing directly and indirectly to the SDGs, including:

2. EcoVadis

Since 2023, we have strengthened transparency and sustainability accountability by reporting annually through EcoVadis. In our most recent EcoVadis assessment, iNovaland earned a  Bronze Medal, placing us in the top 35% of over 130,000 companies evaluated globally.

3. CDP

We also report through CDP, a global disclosure system that enables companies to measure and manage their environmental impacts. We therefore benchmark our performance on climate-related risks and opportunities, reinforcing our commitment to transparency and continuous improvement.

4. Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)

We have committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), aligning our emissions targets with climate science. 

These efforts reflect our commitment to continuous improvement and long-term environmental responsibility.
