Business at the intersection of nature and climate

Creating a sustainable legacy through nature-positive strategies

Assess your environmental footprint and lead the charge toward a nature-positive world.

Understanding the cost of nature loss

Nature and climate change are closely linked. Climate change is one driver of nature loss, and nature loss continues to drive climate change and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Nature-based Solutions (NbS), such as restoration and conservation, are creating many GHG mitigation opportunities that could help companies and the world reach emissions reduction targets, generate significant cost savings, and reduce the impact of climate hazards.

NbS for business growth

Implementing NbS may strategically position companies to address a spectrum of nature-related risks—ranging from physical risks to transition risks—while potentially simultaneously allowing the company to unlock growth opportunities. Incorporating nature into core strategy may allow businesses to discover untapped value. Some of the main benefits may include:

Our services and capabilities

Interest in nature-related disclosures is growing rapidly among many stakeholders. The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) has introduced new guidelines addressing biodiversity, pollution, and water. Additionally, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) lays out comprehensive nature-related reporting requirements for listed companies with substantial operations in Europe starting soon. It’s important that companies start preparing to identify and understand which nature-related issues are material to their business.

We provide information to organizations on addressing the expectations of their stakeholders (including investors, standard-setters, and regulators) and can share with you ways to:

  • Evaluate nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities.
  • Align on nature-related ambition and setting nature-related targets.
  • Apply TNFD’s LEAP framework to locate, evaluate, assess, and prepare for nature-related topics.
  • Prepare for nature-related surveys and disclosures in line with TNFD, CSRD, CDP, and regulatory requirements, such as the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
