Nature's Wealth: Responsible Sourcing Advisory Services

Company profile

Our Expertise

Nature’s Wealth serves global business and mining communities in the following ways. We:

Reveal: We improve visibility into diverse mineral supply chains. We specialize in artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) and the challenges and opportunities therein.
Advise: We identify and help manage stakeholder and operational risks. What we love is transforming mineral supply chains from risk into social impact opportunity. However, it is easy to falter. Real world, experienced advice for this process is critical at every stage.
Develop: We assist in creating high-impact, award-winning, responsible-sourcing projects that align with your commercial and sustainability goals.
Reassure: We assist you to provide data to your internal and external stakeholders. We can assist with CEO to NGO queries to the needs and interests of engaged consumers.
Grow: We assist companies and organizations wanting to achieve and grow their responsible sourcing and social impact initiatives based on values of respect, integrity, human rights, inclusion, and candor.

Our Team

The company is led by Cristina Villegas, a globally respected minerals and development leader with two decades of experience across Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

The company associates with highly skilled professionals from diverse backgrounds on a project-to-project basis. We work together to provide our clients with tailored solutions that meet their unique needs.

Our Approach

Nature’s Wealth stands out from larger companies due to its real-world expertise in critical minerals and jewelry-relevant supply chains. We offer unique field-based perspectives, humility, lessons learned, insights, mineral and geographic intelligence, and pragmatic approaches that others simply will not have due to a lack of practical implementation experience in difficult operating conditions. We know how to get things done where there are no roads.

Further, our dedication to positive social impact and intentional, proactive inclusion of historically marginalized groups truly set us apart within the mining sector.

Our approach is collaborative, transparent, results-driven, and emphasizes value for money and radical candor for client decisionmaking.
