Land, biodiversity and ecosystem services can affect supply continuity, permitting, asset value and operating legitimacy.
Strategic challenges
Which actions protect liquidity now without damaging the economics of recovery?
The challenge is balancing immediate cash preservation with decisions that keep the core business commercially viable.
How much of the revenue case survives independent commercial scrutiny?
The challenge is separating credible demand from assumptions shaped by management optimism, recent momentum or favorable market conditions.
POV
