Ceres co-leads Nature Action 100, a global investor engagement initiative focused on driving greater corporate ambition and action to reverse nature and biodiversity loss. Key sectors include food, forestry and paper products, and consumer goods retail.

As part of the Ceres Investor Network, the Food and Nature Working Group is a forum for investors focused on the challenges and opportunities in building a more resilient food sector and nature-positive economy.

Ceres works with companies to make good on their commitments to end deforestation associated with commodity production in their supply chains. We also support investors looking to drive corporate action on deforestation and land conversion in the food and other key sectors.

Ceres’ Valuing Water Finance Initiative is a global investor-led effort to engage companies with a high-water footprint—including Domino's Pizza, Bunge, Nestlé—to act on water as a financial risk and drive large-scale change to better protect water systems.

The Valuing Water Finance Initiative Benchmark provides a comprehensive view of focus companies’ vulnerabilities, opportunities, and strengths when it comes to managing water. The benchmark provides a line of sight into how companies can better protect the water supplies their operations and supply chains depend on.

In partnership with the World Wildlife Fund, we engaged some of the most influential food and agriculture companies—including Danone North America, Ingredion, and Mars—to make strong, transparent, time-bound, and measurable commitments to better protect limited freshwater resources.
