Thank you to everyone who joined us in the Waikato for #fieldays2024. It was great to be back for the 3rd consecutive year at the Southern Hemisphere’s largest agriculture event. Over the 4 days, we had the opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces and create new connections within the agricultural and business communities. A highlight was the chance to share updates and insights with our farmer partners over a hot beverage made with ofi ingredients and roasted nuts from our orchards in Australia and Vietnam. Curious to see the highlights from Fieldays 2024? Our wrap-up video captures the essence of this awesome event. Check it out below. #makeitreal #waikato #ofi #newzealand

Pleased to see this article from The Straits Times following a fireside chat with President Tharman Shanmugaratnam last week in Singapore, where he called out water conservation and natural capital accounting as markers for wider development and economic progress, citing Olam Group as an example of a business that is taking action. As the article highlights, at ofi we published one of the first Natural Capital Profit & Loss statement and Balance Sheets with our Integrated Impact Statement in 2017. We have continued to build on this, starting with Cocoa, and recently expanding to include Coffee. Alongside our over-arching Choices for Change sustainability strategy launched last week, we are now further advancing our efforts on Natural Capital Valuation so it can be incorporated into key decision-making processes. And critically, open up new opportunities because sustainability and finance teams can talk in a common numerical language that everyone can understand, articulate and evaluate. #naturalcapital #finance #sustainability Nikki Barber Ria Bakshi Vinayak Vijayakumar Nick Viner Accounting for Sustainability (A4S) ICAEW https://lnkd.in/gz2gr-_A Article in full here: https://lnkd.in/gA_g5VC3

How do you differentiate between the environmental impacts of organizations across different geographies, local conditions, products, local regulations etc.? For several years, ofi has been working towards assessing the true value (cost or benefits) of some of our operations on the ground and most recently, our Finance for Sustainability and Coffee experts Rishi Kalra Ria Bakshi Jeremy Dufour and Aryan Tandon joined forces to assess the year-on-year monetary impact of our select coffee growing operations in five origins. Through this Natural Capital Valuation, we can guide teams to prioritize locations which have higher water externalities cost, supporting our target to save 1.5 million m3 of water annually by 2030, under our Coffee LENS sustainability strategy. We plan to establish a strong business case for organizations to not take the myopic view of short run profitability and instead invest in nature positive decisions which will have significant positive impact on financial performance in the long run. #WorldEnvironmentDay #impactmateriality #valuingexternalities #naturalcapital #F4S https://lnkd.in/eW33Bcfq
