Start managing landscapes to stop absorbing disruptions

Minnow embeds ecological risk signals directly into sourcing workflows, and returns outcomes to the planning stack.

Improving precision, protecting margins

Nature exposure shows up after the fact, as price shocks, supply shortfalls, and quality failures. Minnow moves disruption signals upstream, into the planning cycle, before they become costs.

  1. Analyze your landscape
  2. Connect to environmental datasets
  3. Embed in your sourcing strategy

Case study: Brazilian soy sourcing

Identify what you're sourcing

Start with what you know: commodities and whatever location data you have, from broad sourcing region to individual supplier.

Cerrado · Western Bahia: three soy origins along the Rio Grande and Rio CorrenteA map of the Cerrado in western Bahia. The Rio Grande and the Rio Corrente run down either side of a dotted drainage divide. Three soy suppliers are pinned near the rivers, each labelled with its code, municipality, basin, and share of sourced volume.

Generate fingerprints

Minnow identifies the specific set of variables driving exposure in each of your sourcing geographies.

Basin fingerprints: Rio Grande and Rio CorrenteTwo exposure fingerprint cards slide in over the map. The Rio Grande basin card groups two suppliers under a shared exposure profile driven by water stress and deforestation; the Rio Corrente basin card shows one supplier with a distinct profile led by deforestation and cropland expansion.

Surface stakeholders and responses

Find the communities sourcing from the same landscapes, as well as the relevant solutions, partners and financial instruments available in strategic regions.

Cerrado · Western Bahia: your origins among the wider communityThe same map of the Cerrado. Your three soy origins glow along the Rio Grande and Rio Corrente, surrounded by many other suppliers — drawn as faint hollow rings — that source from the same landscapes but are not part of your book.

Act individually or in coordination

Unilateral or community action both feed results back into the next planning cycle - sharpening analysis and building resilience with every sourcing decision made.

Cerrado · Western Bahia: coordinated interventionsThe same map with your origins and the wider community. Two amber intervention hubs coordinate co-exposed suppliers: a water-stewardship programme across the Rio Grande basin and a riparian-restoration programme along the Rio Corrente.
