Santander Peru was among the banks to participate in the programme. The case study provides a practical example of the tools, data, challenges and next steps that the bank considered to get started with LEAP, specifically on scoping and Locate. Key outcomesScoping prior to Locate helps organisations leverage their existing knowledge and expertise to identify potential nature-related issues. Following scoping, Santander Peru created a working hypothesis that provided insights into two potential sectors for assessment: mining and agriculture. Heatmapping during L2 can support analysis of locations to prioritise for sectors with material impacts and dependencies. It enabled Santander Peru to identify its most material dependencies (groundwater use, protection against flooding, erosion control and land stabilisation) and impacts (water use and water use change in land and water ecosystems). It is important to analyse all sensitive location criteria, with at least one dataset for each criterion.Visit website (Getting started with the TNFD LEAP approach: Santander Peru case study)(This link will take you to an external website) Related resources Identifying regulatory barriers and recommendations for assessing asset geolocation in South America Global Canopy (November 2023) Global Canopy has launched a new report investigating financial institutions’ abilities to obtain critical geographic location data about the operations and supply chains of companies in their portfolios in Brazil, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia, as part of...
