Assess nature-related portfolio exposure

We enable financial institutions to prioritise material nature-related exposures for management by assessing and quantifying nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities. 

We conduct decision-useful exposure assessments at the portfolio, sector, company, location and specific asset level. Our experience working at site level, with corporates with complex value chains and contributing to the underlying nature data and science, enables us to identify the material interfaces between portfolios and nature. 

We help our finance clients determine where, and to what extent, there is nature impact or financial materiality in their portfolios. For example, we model nature-related financial risks, analysing how revenues are negatively impacted by ecosystem degradation or policy change.
 

Mitigate nature-related risks, capitalise on opportunities

Our consultants advise on how to mitigate nature-related risk and capitalise on opportunities. This includes advice on how to:

• Evolve nature-related policies
• Support front-facing staff to deepen dialogue with portfolio companies and clients, by demonstrating deep understanding of the company interface with nature 
• Scope nature targets and metrics
• Screen for material nature-related factors prior to any finance or investment 
• Integrate nature into financial models and decisions
• Make claims that finance contributes to nature positive, such as green labels on bonds

Prepare disclosures for CSRD and TNFD, set targets

The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) helps financial institutions to assess, manage and disclose their dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities on nature. Similarly, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) involves reporting on nature-related exposures across lending and investment portfolios . Our exposure assessment and advisory service aligns with the requirements of both. Leveraging our experience co-authoring parts of TNFD, we support financial institutions to identify and act on financially material impacts and dependencies, including scoping actionable targets capable of contributing to nature positive.
