What We Do
Nature is rising rapidly up the business, policy and regulatory agendas. Leading businesses and financial institutions are making nature-related commitments and piloting new measurement approaches, guided by an emerging plethora of standards, frameworks, and regulatory requirements. The complexity of nature and the relative immaturity of these frameworks create challenges for business.
We bring global expertise in biodiversity and risk management to help business leaders understand their environmental risks and dependencies and pursue commercially viable nature-related opportunities.

Breakthroughs
Promoting Africa’s Voice On Nature
We helped FSD Africa pilot the draft Taskforce on Nature-Related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework with African Financial Institutions and test its suitability and applicability in the African context. Our efforts led to the development of best-in-class toolkits and roadmaps for financial institutions to build nature capabilities, as well as the launch of the African Natural Capital Alliance (ANCA).
Assessing Credit Risk Impacts
We helped a UK bank undertake an environmental risk materiality assessment, including identifying key nature-risk drivers for different sectors, identifying transmission channels for credit risk impacts, and undertaking loss sensitivity analysis for plausible worst-case changes in nature-risk drivers.
Refreshing Public Environment Plans
We helped the Ministry of Environment of a G20 country refresh its National Environment Strategy and develop the Deputy Ministry Of Environment’s capabilities towards implementing the strategy and enabling the success of the institutional players in the environment sector.
