Coca-Cola and Natura are measuring citizen well-being at the community level in the Amazon rainforest. These areas and their communities are key for Coca-Cola and Natura’s supply chain. By using a localised Social Progress Index, they were able to identify the key areas of need, direct CR investment accordingly, engage local people, and demonstrate their positive impact on the area, while mitigating supply chain risk..

Cargill sponsored a community level index within an area where their poultry farms were set up 40 years ago. Cargill believe that as they have invested in the area for 40 years, the government now need to step up and contribute – they see a local index as a way of demonstrating priorities to the government and getting them to share the investment burden.
