Inclusive business in practice: A practical guide for upstream agribusiness companies on inclusive, gender-responsive land-based investments

This guide presents inclusive business as a strategic business design approach that strengthens both commercial performance and social outcomes in land-based investments. Using a Gender Equity and Social Inclusion (GESI) lens, it helps companies identify barriers to participation, address inequalities, and improve the engagement of producers, workers, and communities. The guide emphasizes practical measures such as tenure due diligence, transparent contracting, fair payment systems, effective grievance mechanisms, and safe working conditions to reduce operational and financial risks. It also demonstrates how strong social and environmental performance can improve access to development finance, impact investment, certification premiums, and compliance with emerging due diligence requirements, including the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
