The objective is to show how Sonae SGPS, a multinational conglomerate, integrates nature considerations into its governance and strategy, and how Sonae Sierra, one of its subsidiaries, operationalises these efforts. The case highlights how location specific data informs decision-making, prioritisation and actions  to mitigate environmental impacts and dependencies, notably in relation to water scarcity and deforestation.
