Nature and Biodiversity
We assess biodiversity impacts, dependencies, and risks, integrating natural capital into corporate and financial management under frameworks such as TNFD.
The Challenge for Organizations
Nature is a useful input for risk management.
Organizations’ performance depends on nature and the ecosystem services it provides, and their operations can have significant impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity.
This exposes organizations to different kinds of risks: physical, regulatory, reputational, and financial. Identifying and managing them is essential to building resilience.
Business continuity
Managing these risks strengthens an organization’s operational continuity.
Access to financing
Actively managing nature and biodiversity risks makes it easier to access financing.
New opportunities for value
It enables the ongoing identification of new opportunities to create value.
Who It’s For
Organizations in any sector whose operations, assets, or supply chains depend on natural resources or generate impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity. The sectors where this challenge is most material include:
We also support organizations looking to get ahead of growing investor, regulator, and customer expectations on sustainability.

TNFD and LEAP: A Framework to Guide Decisions
To meet these challenges, the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) developed a framework that lets companies and financial institutions identify, assess, manage, and disclose their nature-related impacts, dependencies, risks, and opportunities.
The framework is built around four pillars: governance, strategy, risk and impact management, and metrics and targets. To implement it, TNFD proposes the LEAP methodology, a structured approach to building these topics into decision-making:
Locate
Identify the organization’s interfaces with nature
Evaluate
Assess dependencies and impacts
Assess
Analyze risks and opportunities
Prepare
Define responses, strategies, and disclosure
Adopting TNFD also helps you meet the growing expectations of investors, financial institutions, customers, and regulators, and get ahead of future market requirements.

Tech Briefs
1. LEAP as an iterative process
TNFD’s LEAP approach is explicitly iterative: the first pass isn’t about perfection, it’s about building a reasonable baseline of the company’s dependencies and impacts on nature. Each cycle improves data quality, broadens internal participation, and deepens integration with risk management and strategy.
2. Nature = financial risk, not an “environmental” issue
TNFD starts from a simple premise: because business depends on natural capital, nature loss becomes a financial, operational, and reputational risk. Exposures that once looked purely “environmental” become key inputs for assessing cash flows, value chain resilience, and access to financing.
3. From sites and value chains to business decisions
TNFD requires mapping where the company and its value chain operate, and how those locations interact with critical ecosystems, communities, and local regulatory frameworks. This geographic analysis isn’t cartography: it’s the foundation for identifying which assets, customers, and suppliers carry the most exposure to nature risks and where to focus.
4. Governance: from the sustainability team to the risk committee
Using TNFD seriously moves the nature conversation to risk, finance, and strategy committees — the same shift that happened with IFRS S2 and climate. Nature enters the corporate risk map with clear owners and metrics that let boards and senior management make decisions about capital, products, and markets.
5. Getting ready for future regulation and access to capital
TNFD is voluntary today, but it already works as a common language among banks, investors, and insurers who are starting to ask their counterparties about nature risks. Early adopters aren’t just preparing for future regulation — they’re showing the market that they understand and manage their natural capital exposures before anyone requires it.
6. TNFD and IFRS S2: complementary frameworks, not parallel ones
TNFD and IFRS S2 aren’t alternatives: TNFD operationalizes the identification and management of nature risks that then need to be disclosed under IFRS S1/S2 when they’re financially material. For companies with significant exposure to ecosystems, TNFD is the analytical step that comes first and makes IFRS reporting credible and traceable.
