In its effort to develop broader collaboration and commitment by companies and financial institutions to prioritize recognition of community lands, Rights and Resources Initiative has catalyzed a private sector working group. The “Interlaken Group,” as it has become known, gathers representatives from leading companies, investors, and NGOs jointly committed to addressing this issue. The value of this unique multi-stakeholder forum is to provide a space to speak informally about company and investor domains as they relate to land rights while simultaneously acting as an informal feedback loop toward better practice in the field.
