4 steps to jumpstart your mangrove investment journey

The guide outlines a strategic approach for companies to enter the mangrove investment landscape, emphasizing the use of quality frameworks, alignment with business priorities, and diverse financial instruments. It highlights the Mangrove Breakthrough's goal to protect, restore, and sustainably manage 15 million hectares of mangroves and references Salesforce's experience in identifying a pipeline of high-quality, 'shovel-ready' projects through a request for proposal (RFP) process.

• The Mangrove Breakthrough has established a coordinated effort to protect, restore, and sustainably manage 15 million hectares of mangroves, supported by over 49 governments representing approximately 60% of the world's mangroves, alongside over 50 non-state actors.
• Salesforce's request for proposal (RFP) process identified 71 projects with a total giving potential of $90 million; approximately 25% of these were categorized as 'shovel-ready' and aligned with specific quality criteria.
• Effective mangrove investment requires a quality evaluation framework. Salesforce utilized six quality principles: Design for Sustainability, Employ the Best Information and Practices, Safeguard Nature, Empower People, Operate Locally and Contextually, and Mobilize High Integrity Capital (Transparency and Accountability).
• Different stages of mangrove project lifecycles require different financial instruments: early-stage projects rely on mixed private and public capital, while mature projects may use parametric insurance, blended finance, or high-quality carbon credits.
