A supply chain can only be as nature-positive as its traceability allows it to verify — an unverified standard is just a claim.
qualifies if impact_score < strictness AND traced
- Supplier nodes — raw-material and component suppliers feeding the buyer network.
- Buyer network density — how many buyers each supplier is connected to.
- Sourcing standard strictness — the environmental-impact bar a supplier must clear to qualify as nature-positive.
- Traceability investment — how much supply-chain tracing infrastructure exists to actually verify a claim.
Corporate nature-positive pledges (from palm oil to cocoa) only mean anything once traceability can verify sourcing standards all the way to the farm gate.
