This publication outlines DT Global’s capabilities in regenerative agriculture and sustainable sourcing, connecting corporate sustainability strategy with implementation in the countries and communities where agricultural supply chains begin. It presents four areas of support: sourcing risk and opportunity assessment; strategy, frameworks and governance; management of partners, funds and projects; and measurement, reporting and adaptive management.
Through practical case studies, it demonstrates how DT Global helps companies and development partners translate sustainability commitments into locally relevant programs. The publication highlights approaches to strengthening farmer livelihoods, improving environmental outcomes, managing delivery, and generating credible evidence to guide investment and demonstrate progress.
This guidance note is intended to help think through program decisions, a key part of adaptive management. It aims to support deeper thinking on what to Drop, Add, Keep, Improve (DAKI). Practical options are given to take forward each of these actions.

Southeast Asia is grappling with a mounting plastic waste crisis driven by rapid urbanization, population growth, and increased consumption of single-use plastics. While countries have taken steps such as banning plastic bags and adopting national action plans for plastic pollution reduction, plastic leakage into waterways and oceans remains a persistent problem.
From safer roads to climate-resilient water systems, infrastructure sets the foundation for economic growth and social well-being.

In this Q&A, Eleanor shares her journey into infrastructure development and explains how DT Global is improving lives through resilient, sustainable infrastructure.
Climate change has far-reaching consequences, and one of its major impacts is the intensification of El Niño events, leading to prolonged and severe periods of drought in the Pacific. These climate-induced droughts not only diminish the availability of freshwater for consumption but also have detrimental effects on food production and agriculture. Pacific Island Countries (PICs) like Tonga and Kiribati rely heavily on groundwater and rainfall as their primary sources of freshwater, exacerbating the myriad of challenges faced daily.
Southeast Asia has witnessed explosive growth in online scamming operations, and the deceptive and coercive recruitment and employment of workers into them, over the past 5 years. This pattern of trafficking in persons is closely tied into criminal networks within and beyond the region and has flourished in areas with weak governance and patchy rule of law.
