Vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides) has been extensively studied in Asian countries due to its multiple uses in soil conservation, infrastructure protection, ecological sanitation, biological pest control, ecological restoration, and other agronomic and bioengineering applications. The establishment of closed hedgerows in contour lines or linear plantations is known as The Vetiver System (TVS) (Greenfield, 1993) and is considered a low-cost, easily adoptable, and replicable technology in different contexts. This study aims to demonstrate and validate the use of the Vetiver System in the development of Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) projects throughout the tobacco leaf supply chain. Based on documentary research (Greenfield, 2008; Truong et al., 2015), and personal experience, Keyline Vetiver Hedges were established in strategic tobacco supply farms of Nueva Matacapan Tobaccos since 2019 to stop extreme erosion issues and crop loss due to severe precipitation events, as well as to be compliant with STP supplier improvement cycle. The association of TVS with tobacco production is a cost-efficient nature-based solution that produces short-term results and provides farmers with an important tool for climate risk management. The standardization of an adequate land planning and project management framework was delivered by Estampa Verde to scale up this solution throughout the industry. The incorporation of Chrysopogon zizanioides in tobacco farms following Estampa Verde’s standard provides a starting point for climate risk reduction and further development of ESG related projects throughout the leaf supply chain.
