T H E P U R L A B ’ S P U R P O S E “[…] Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.” W.Bruce Cameron A collaboration between PUR PROJET, local partners, universities, research institutes, and companies investing in their supply chain TO IDENTIFY, MEASURE, AND VALUE ALL THE SERVICES (ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, CORPORATE) PROVIDED BY COMMUNITY AGROFORESTRY PROJECTS IN SUPPLY CHAINS PUR Lab is the research and expertise branch of PUR Projet. It is responsible for developing high level protocols and impact assessments methodologies. Together with several universities and experts, PUR Lab is able to respond to today’s challenges with scientifically sound solutions. Profoundly engaged with the world’s future, PUR Lab proposes multi-level and interdisciplinary approaches using modern techniques for a better tomorrow. Our core principles: scientific, holistic, transparent 3
C O N T E X T IMPACTS OF COMMUNITY AGROFORESTRY PROJECTS ARE UNDERESTIMATED - Trees provide free ecosystem services that are traditionally not valued - Additionally, PUR PROJET’s model provides social and community benefits - Finally, Insetting (sustainable investment within the supply chain itself) represents new benefits for companies THERE IS A GROWING DEMAND FOR MORE DIVERSIFIED AND COMPREHENSIVE SIGNALS - Companies need to demonstrate the benefits of integrated agro-ecological and fair practices in their supply chain - All services have to be considered jointly Slash and burn, Peru 4

M I S S I O N SERVICES QUANTIFICATION AND VALUATION We apply valuation methods and develop protocols Scientifically quantify and from multiple research works, measuring the value the services provided services generated by our projects. The valuation of ecosystems services permits to Demonstrate the outstanding benefits of quantify the real return of a sustainable investment community agroforestry in agri-supply chains in agri-supply chains. We create simple communication tools to disseminate results. KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPMENT Increase knowledge on community Our activities stimulate research on community agroforestry and insetting reforestation benefits, beyond ecosystem services. We develop protocols with students from local and northern countries universities. Experts and Favor North-South university exchanges students share cutting-edge knowledge and expertise. Raise awareness and education level of local Through our studies, we are able to create learning populations on ecosystem and social services platforms to promote knowledge transfer. 7
